It represents another significant step towards the commencement of the university's undergraduate admission exercise for the 2026/2027 academic session .

The development follows the recent approval of 34 undergraduate programmes by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

FUSTECH Epe Now Listed on JAMB Portal

A screenshot of the JAMB institution-selection interface reviewed by OGB Admission Hub shows FUSTECH Epe appearing in the list alongside other federal universities.

The institution is clearly displayed as:

Federal University of Science and Technology, Epe, Lagos State.

The university's inclusion in the list is particularly significant for candidates who have been awaiting the opportunity to select the institution through JAMB.

However, appearing in the dropdown does not, by itself, confirm that every course is available for selection, that a change-of-institution request has been successfully processed, or that university screening registration has commenced.

Candidates must verify their final selections and complete the applicable JAMB procedures.

Not yet, according to the university's latest publicly available undergraduate admission notice.

Although the institution now appears on the JAMB selection interface, FUSTECH's official admission page continues to indicate that undergraduate admission applications have not commenced.

University screening application: The university has not yet confirmed that candidates can complete its 2026/2027 Post-UTME registration.

The availability of one service does not automatically mean the other has commenced.

Some programmes may have requirements beyond the general minimum.
