NSUK Post-UTME: Candidates Urged to Verify Reported Deadline Extension

Prospective students seeking admission into Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), have been advised to verify the university’s latest Post-UTME screening arrangements for the 2026/2027 academic session. Management has officially extended the exercise. According to the notice signed by Ramatu A. Liman, Esq., SDR/Academic Affairs, For: Registrar, the screening which was originally scheduled to end on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, has been extended by one week to Wednesday, 21 October 2026. Yhe university management approved the additional period to accommodate candidates who have not completed their applications. The extension runs from Thursday, 15 October to Wednesday, 21 October 2026. TThis is the second adjustment in the timeline. The exercise was initially billed to close on 30 September 2026, then shifted to 14 October, before the current extension to 21 October, the issue is important because missing a screening deadline can affect a candidate’s eligibility for admission.The university specifically said the extra week covers candidates experiencing change of course or institution issues, national Examinations Council (NECO) token issues, other related challenges that prevented completion of screening Universities may adjust screening schedules to accommodate administrative needs, changes in application numbers or other considerations. When a deadline is extended, applicants should establish whether the new date applies to all candidates or only to particular categories in this case NSUK said it is to enable affected candidates to resolve outstanding issues and complete all necessary requirements by 21 October. An extension to one stage of the process does not automatically mean that every other deadline has changed. Candidates should ensure that their application details are accurate and consistent with their examination records. They should review the university’s requirements for JAMB registration details, O’Level results, subject combinations and other supporting information. Use the extension to resolve change-of-institution, O’Level result or incomplete application issues. Applicants should also confirm that their chosen course is available and that they meet the stated entry requirements. Where payment is required, candidates should use only the approved payment method specified by the university the screening fee is ₦2,000 payable through the official portal. Do not assume another extension will be granted after 21 October. Admission seasons often create opportunities for fraudulent websites and individuals to target anxious applicants. Students should not assume that a social media post or forwarded message is genuine simply because it contains the university’s name or logo. Before entering personal information or making payments, candidates should verify the announcement through the institution’s official website: https://nsuk.edu.ng/ and undergraduate portal https://ug.nsuk.edu.ng/application Candidates should visit the admissions section for the latest screening announcement and complete all required steps on or before Wednesday, 21 October 2026.
