Prince Abubakar Audu University, Anyigba, has officially released guidelines for the 2026/2027 academic session admission exercise. The institution announced the commencement of online registration and screening for both Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) candidates.

The screening portal is now open, and eligible prospective students who selected PAAU as their first-choice institution have a month-long window to complete their applications, upload required credentials, and position themselves for the upcoming screening exercise.

Here are the critical details and requirements: registration and upload of O'level results for post-UTME/DE online screening begins on Monday, June 1st, 2026, and closes on Wednesday, July 1st, 2026. The Post-UTME screening fee is N2000 only. Only candidates who scored 150 and above in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are qualified for the screening exercise.

UTME candidates will be screened based on their Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) score and O-level results only. Candidates must have sat for the appropriate Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) subjects for their proposed courses of study and possess the basic five (5) O'level credit passes in the relevant subjects.

Direct Entry (DE) candidates generally require a minimum of upper credit (ND, HND and University Diploma), merit (NCE), minimum of 10 points in A'level result, and recognized first-degree certificate to qualify for eligible programmes in the University.
