You check your post-UTME screening venue, session batch, and seat number by logging into your candidate dashboard on the official university admissions screening portal using your registration credentials.
Most federal, state, and private universities generate personalized examination schedules only after screening applications close, assigning candidates specific computer-based test (CBT) laboratories and seat identifiers to organize campus traffic.
To print your screening pass and locate your designated assessment station, follow these chronological instructions:
- Navigate to your designated university admissions portal using an updated web browser.
- Locate the post-UTME applicant portal tab and select the reprint screening pass option.
- Input your JAMB e-Facility registration number alongside the password or transaction reference generated during screening registration.
- Submit your login credentials to open your candidate summary dashboard.
- Locate your screening schedule panel to verify your allocated venue name, building complex, examination batch, time slot, and assigned computer seat number.
- Download the computer-generated examination slip in PDF format and print multiple colour copies on standard A4 paper.
Candidates must ensure they possess all mandatory clearance documentation before travelling to their assigned screening centre:
- Two physical copies of the freshly reprinted post-UTME screening timetable slip showing clear candidate passport photographs.
- Original JAMB examination result printout showing your aggregate score and institutional choices.
- Original payment invoice receipt confirming full settlement of the statutory screening assessment fee.
- Valid institutional identification such as a national identity card issued by NIMC or secondary school photo card.
Candidates who report to the wrong examination hall or attempt to sit during unallocated session batches are automatically locked out by biometric servers and marked as absent without administrative refund.
CBT laboratory servers are configured to validate biometric fingerprints against pre-allocated workstation terminals before the assessment interface unlocks for test questions.
If your profile dashboard displays a scheduling error or missing venue label, submit an urgent support ticket to the campus ICT Directorate before the scheduled testing date.
Arriving at your allocated campus screening venue at least ninety minutes prior to scheduled accreditation prevents unnecessary panic caused by logistical delays and security checkpoints.
Visiting your campus screening venue at least twenty-four hours before your allocated test slot guarantees seamless navigation on test morning without panic.
Retaining your verified and stamped screening pass protects your candidate record when departmental clearance lists are collated for final merit admissions.
Cross-checking your assigned terminal identification number with the invigilator roster eliminates the risk of scoring discrepancies caused by sitting at an unassigned workstation.

Thank you for breaking this down so clearly. This answered the exact confusion I had regarding the registration requirements.
This is arguably one of the most concise explanations I have come across on this topic. God bless you for sharing.
Extremely helpful post. My younger sibling was facing this exact dilemma last week. I will share this link with him right away.
Please what is the recommended procedure if the school portal is not reflecting the payment receipt after completing the bank branch remita transfer?
Thank you for reaching out with this question. If your Remita payment transaction is successful at the commercial bank branch but your student/applicant portal remains unconfirmed, please follow these verified steps: (1) Confirm that the 12-digit RRR (Remita Retrieval Reference) code on your bank teller matches the invoice generated on the school portal, (2) Navigate to your applicant dashboard and click ‘Re-query Payment’ or ‘Verify Transaction’—this initiates an instant API callback to Remita servers, and (3) If the portal does not update within 24 hours, take your stamped bank receipt alongside your printed transaction slip to the university ICT/Bursary unit for manual ledger reconciliation. Never attempt a duplicate payment without confirmation from the school bursary.
Thank you author for this timely post. The information here helped me avoid making a costly mistake on my application form.
A very comprehensive review. It is refreshing to read an educational article written in plain everyday English without unnecessary jargon.
Thank you for shedding light on this issue. Our school counselor never explained the difference between the aggregate score and the raw UTME mark like this.
This guide covers all the critical angles. Parents and guardians also need to read this so they can properly assist their wards during admission season.
Please I need a quick clarification: can an applicant who has already uploaded their O-level result make changes if there was an omission of a required subject?
Excellent clarification. On the distinction between Federal and State institutions: Federal universities operate under the Federal Character Commission formula (45% Merit, 35% Catchment Area, and 20% Educationally Less Developed States – ELDS). State-owned institutions prioritize indigenes (often up to 70–80% quota) with a smaller percentage allocated to non-indigenes on open merit. However, minimum academic prerequisites, verified O-Level credits in English and Mathematics, and JAMB cut-off compliance apply uniformly across both tiers.
Insightful analysis. Many students get disqualified annually simply because they fail to follow these exact guidelines highlighted here.
