About FUTA Admission 2026/2027
The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) is one of Nigeria’s foremost technology universities, consistently ranked among the top institutions in the country.

The screening exercise for 2026/2027 was based entirely on verified JAMB scores and O’Level results uploaded on JAMB CAPS no written examination was conducted. Candidates were ranked purely by their academic credentials, which means every score on your JAMB and O’Level result directly determined your admission outcome.
FUTA typically releases its admission list in five stages: the Merit List (1st Batch), 2nd Batch, 3rd Batch, the VC List, and the Direct Entry List. The Merit List contains the highest-ranking candidates and is the first to be uploaded.

- Confirm on the FUTA School Portal: Log into the FUTA portal at firars.futa.edu.ng/app/welcome/admissions and confirm that your name also reflects on the school portal. Some candidates see their status on JAMB CAPS before it appears on the FUTA portal if yours is not showing on the school portal yet, give it 24 to 48 hours and check again.
- Check the FUTA Matriculation List: After acceptance, confirm that your JAMB registration number appears on the FUTA 2026 JAMB Matriculation List. This is a separate verification step that confirms your official student status.
- Pay Your FUTA Acceptance Fee: Log into the FUTA portal and generate your payment invoice containing the Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) number. Pay the acceptance fee at any commercial bank or online using your ATM card (Verve, Visa, or Mastercard). After payment, return to the FUTA portal to print your e-receipt this receipt is required for course registration.

What to Do If Your Name Is Not on the FUTA Admission List Yet
If your status shows “Not Admitted” or “Admission in Progress,” do not assume the worst. Here is what to do:
- Keep checking regularly: FUTA uploads admission lists in batches over several weeks. Your department may not have been processed yet. Check the JAMB CAPS portal at least once every two to three days.
- Ensure your O’Level result is uploaded on JAMB CAPS: One of the most common reasons candidates are left off the initial admission lists is that their O’Level result is not visible on CAPS. Visit a JAMB-accredited CBT centre immediately to upload your WAEC or NECO result if you have not done so already. The deadline for O’Level upload for FUTA 2026/2027 is August 17, 2026.
- Confirm your course on JAMB CAPS matches your Post-UTME application: FUTA’s system requires that the department you chose on JAMB CAPS must be identical to what you selected on the Post-UTME application portal. Any mismatch means you will not be considered for admission. If there is a discrepancy, contact the FUTA admissions office immediately.
- Wait for the next batch: If your aggregate score was competitive but you are not on the first batch, the second or third batch may include your name. Be patient and keep checking.
