Seeing our List Of Schools That Conduct Post-UTME Exam in 2025 is one of the first step every student who has the intention to gain admission into university, polytechnics or college of education must do. This will help you to start preparing your mind on the next step to take. If your O’level is not good but you believe you score higher in post-UTME to augment your JAMB score, then you can go to the school that will take post-UTME. You can also take a reverse decision if it is on the other side.
As at the time of writing this post, most of the universities are still weighing the available options before them. Should they write post-UTME or not. No one knows for sure what will happen this year — not even the schools themselves until they drop their official screening details. Some schools wrote Post-UTME two years ago, but skipped it last year. Others didn’t write two years ago, but surprised everyone with an exam last year. You see the pattern? Unpredictable!
If your school is NOT on the list, you probably won’t write an exam — but don’t let your guard down just yet. Nigerian schools love surprises. If your school is on the list, chances are high that you’ll be writing an exam this year — but again, nothing is 100% guaranteed. Bottom line? Be smart. It’s better to prepare and not need it, than to relax and get caught off guard. Even if it’s just revising your key subjects every few days — trust us, it could make all the difference.
Start preparing now. Your future self will thank you!

FAQs on schools that conduct post-UTME
How to prepare for Post-UTME?
Preparing for Post-UTME requires focus, consistency, and strategy. First, gather past questions from your chosen university and practice them regularly. This helps you understand the question pattern and common topics. Study core subjects relevant to your course, just like you did for JAMB. Use textbooks and online resources to cover weak areas. Create a study timetable and stick to it. Practice time management to finish questions quickly. Also, stay informed on the exam date, venue, and format. Finally, ensure all your registration details and documents are correct to avoid disqualification.
Do I need to pass Post-UTME to gain admission?
Yes, in most Nigerian universities, passing it is necessary to gain admission. It is part of the admission process and is used to further screen applicants after JAMB. Even if you score high in JAMB, failing it can affect your chances. Some schools calculate an aggregate score by combining your JAMB and Post-UTME results. If you fail to meet the cut-off mark after combining both scores, you may be denied admission. So, preparing well and passing the Post-UTME is crucial for success.
What is the nature of Post-UTME?
The Post-UTME is similar to JAMB but usually shorter and school-specific. It often contains multiple-choice questions, mostly from subjects related to your intended course. Some schools also include questions on current affairs, logical reasoning, or English usage. Unlike JAMB, Post-UTME is set and marked by individual universities. The exam duration is often between 30 to 60 minutes. Some schools may conduct computer-based tests (CBT), while others may use paper. Though it tests similar knowledge areas, Post-UTME is generally more tailored and may be more challenging due to time constraints.
Conclusion
The list of schools that can conduct post-utme this year may not be exhaustive. However, it is iportant that you prepare like someone who is writing post-UTME until your institution says otherwise. Remember, there is no harm in being prepared.
