The University of Benin (UNIBEN), one of Nigeria's premier federal institutions, has officially released the results of its Post-UTME (PUTME) and Direct Entry (DE) screening exercises, marking the kickoff of the 2025/2026 academic session admission process.
This announcement comes as thousands of prospective
students eagerly await their eligibility for undergraduate programs at the esteemed
university.
According
to a statement from the university's admissions office, the screening results
for both UTME and Direct Entry candidates are now accessible via the official
portal at uniben.edu. Candidates who participated in the computer-based
screening held earlier this year are urged to log in using their registration
credentials to check their status.
Successful
applicants will proceed to the next phase, which involves the submission of
required documents and payment of acceptance fees to secure their spots.
The
release of these results follows a rigorous screening process designed to
ensure only qualified candidates are admitted, amid ongoing efforts by the
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to maintain high standards in Nigeria's
tertiary education system.
UNIBEN,
known for its competitive cut-off marks and diverse academic offerings in
fields like engineering, medicine, law, and social sciences, screened over
20,000 applicants this year—a slight increase from previous cycles, reflecting
the growing demand for quality education in the region.
University
spokesperson, Dr. Benedicta Ehanire, emphasized the importance of timely action
for qualified candidates.
"We congratulate all successful applicants and encourage them
to complete the admission formalities promptly to avoid missing out on the
limited slots available," she said in a press release.
"UNIBEN remains committed to upholding academic excellence
and providing a conducive environment for learning."
For
those who did not meet the required thresholds, the university has advised
exploring alternative options, including supplementary admissions or other
institutions.
The admission process is expected to run for the next four weeks, with lectures commencing in early October for the new session.
