If you applied to Federal University of Technology Owerri for the 2025/2026 academic session, then this update is very important for you.
The university has officially announced its Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening exercise, and many candidates are already rushing to complete their registration.
But instead of getting confused by long official notices, let’s break everything down in a simple and conversational way so you can understand exactly what to do.
Who Is Eligible to Apply?
Not every candidate can apply, so let’s simplify the requirements.
You are eligible if:
- You chose FUTO as your first choice institution in JAMB
- You scored at least 150 in UTME
- You will be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2025
- You have the correct subject combination for your course
- You have at least five O’Level credits including English Language and Mathematics
Candidates who did not initially choose FUTO can still apply, but they must first change their institution to FUTO on the JAMB CAPS portal.
Important O’Level Requirement
Candidates must have:
- at least five relevant credit passes
- in not more than two sittings
However, candidates applying for MBBS must have:
- English
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biology
all in ONE sitting.
This is very important because many students lose admission over incomplete O’Level requirements.
