AGAIN, GOMBE STATE UNIVERSITY (GSU) EXTENDS POST-UTME APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR THE 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION

Gombe State University (GSU) has officially announced the reopening of its Post-UTME application portal for the 2025/2026 academic session. This important update is directed to all candidates who applied for admission into the university’s various programmes but were yet to complete their screening process.

According to the management, the Post-UTME portal will remain open for two weeks only, and during this period, all eligible candidates are strongly advised to complete the two required stages of screening — Online Screening and Physical Screening. Both processes must be concluded on or before Monday, 13th October 2025.

Why the Screening Exercise Matters

Post-UTME screening is a vital part of the admission process in Nigerian universities. It gives institutions the chance to verify candidates’ qualifications and ensure that only those who meet the minimum requirements for their chosen courses are admitted.

At Gombe State University, this screening serves multiple purposes:

1. Validation of UTME Results: It confirms that candidates’ JAMB scores and details are genuine.

2. Verification of O’Level Results: WAEC, NECO, or equivalent certificates are carefully checked to ensure candidates meet subject requirements.

3. Physical Verification: The university ensures that all documents submitted online match those presented physically, leaving no room for impersonation or falsification.

Steps Candidates Should Take

To avoid missing this golden opportunity, candidates are encouraged to carefully follow these steps:

1. Visit the GSU Admission Portal
   Candidates must log in to the official Gombe State University admission portal using their JAMB registration number and password.

2. Complete Online Screening

   • Upload required documents (O’Level results, JAMB result slip, and passport photograph).

   • Verify personal details such as date of birth, state of origin, and course applied for.

3. Print Acknowledgement Slip
   After successful online submission, candidates should print their acknowledgement slip as evidence of completion. This will also be required during the physical screening.

4. Attend Physical Screening
   Candidates must present themselves at the designated venue within the university for physical verification. They should bring along original and photocopies of their documents, including:

   • JAMB result slip

   • O’Level results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB)

   • Birth certificate or declaration of age

   • Local Government of Origin certificate

   • Post-UTME registration slip

Deadline Reminder

It is important to note that Monday, 13th October 2025, is the final date for completion of all screening activities. Failure to complete both online and physical screening before the deadline may result in automatic disqualification, regardless of JAMB score or programme choice.

Tips for a Successful Screening

• Ensure accuracy: Double-check that all details uploaded online are correct and match your documents.

• Arrive early: For physical screening, come to the venue early to avoid last-minute rush.

• Stay organized: Keep both originals and photocopies of your documents in a neat file for easy presentation.

• Be mindful of deadlines: Do not wait until the last day to complete the process, as technical hitches or network issues could cause delays.

Words of Encouragement

The reopening of the portal is a second chance for candidates who, for one reason or another, were unable to complete their screening earlier. This extension demonstrates GSU’s commitment to giving every qualified student a fair opportunity to secure admission. Candidates are therefore encouraged to seize this chance, stay focused, and put in their best effort.

Final Note

With the 2025/2026 academic session fast approaching, the Post-UTME screening remains one of the most crucial steps for admission seekers. Gombe State University has provided this two-week window to help candidates finalize their applications and increase their chances of being admitted into their chosen programmes.

Applicants are therefore urged not to delay, but to act immediately and ensure all screening requirements are fulfilled well before the deadline.

✅ Summary:

• Post-UTME portal re-opened for two weeks.
