The Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu-Alike (AE-FUNAI), Ebonyi State, has announced the commencement of registration for its 2025/2026 Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Post-UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) screening.

• Faculty of Agriculture – Minimum score: 150

Important Guidelines

Candidates who did not initially choose AE-FUNAI as their first choice but now wish to apply are also eligible, provided they change their institution and/or course to AE-FUNAI via the JAMB Portal on or before August 29, 2025.

Candidates applying to high-demand programmes like Medicine and Surgery or Nursing Science must have obtained their O’Level results in a single sitting. Also, all applicants must ensure their UTME subject combinations and O’Level requirements align with their desired course of study.

The university emphasized that any false information discovered during the screening process would lead to automatic disqualification.

Additionally, candidates are reminded to upload their O’Level or A’Level results to the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) as failure to do so will invalidate their application.

The 2025/2026 screening exercise will be conducted through internal assessment of candidates’ academic results, without a computer-based test (CBT).
