The wait is finally over for thousands of admission seekers into the prestigious Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna as the institution has officially released the results of its Post-UTME screening exercise for the 2025/2026 academic session. This announcement has brought a wave of excitement, anxiety, and anticipation among prospective students who have been eagerly awaiting the outcome of their performance.
AFIT, known for its academic excellence, military discipline, and unique blend of technology-driven programs, attracts candidates from across Nigeria who aspire to study in one of the country’s most respected tertiary institutions. With the release of the results, candidates can now check their scores online and begin preparing for the next crucial stage—admission.
How to Check Your AFIT Post-UTME Results
Candidates who participated in the screening exercise can now access their results with just a few simple steps:
- Visit the AFIT result portal: portal.afit.edu.ng/putme_result
- Login with your credentials: Enter your UTME Registration Number and password (the same details you used during registration).
- View your result: Your Post-UTME score will be displayed immediately.
- Print your result slip: Save or print the slip for future reference during admission processing.
It is strongly advised that candidates double-check their details while logging in, as incorrect credentials may hinder access.
What Next After Checking Your Result?
Securing a good score in the AFIT Post-UTME is only one part of the journey. Admission into AFIT involves multiple steps, and here’s what every candidate should expect:
- Admission List Release: The management of AFIT will soon begin releasing the admission lists for successful candidates. This will be done in batches and published both on the AFIT portal and the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
- O’Level Verification: Ensure that your O’Level results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) have been uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal. Without this, you cannot be considered for admission even if you scored high in both UTME and Post-UTME.
- JAMB CAPS Monitoring: Log in regularly to your JAMB CAPS profile to check for admission offers. Candidates must either Accept or Reject their admission once offered.
- Departmental Cut-Off Marks: Each faculty in AFIT (Engineering, Science, Management, and Military programs) has its own cut-off mark. A high Post-UTME score increases your chances, but meeting the departmental cut-off is key.
Why This Stage Is Important
The Post-UTME is more than just a score—it is the institution’s way of filtering candidates who are not only academically qualified but also mentally prepared for the rigours of AFIT’s demanding programs. For students who dream of careers in aviation technology, engineering, cyber security, aerospace studies, and other high-tech fields, this result determines whether they are one step closer to realizing that dream.
For many candidates, this moment marks the beginning of their higher education journey. Some are already calculating their aggregate scores, comparing results with peers, and projecting which courses they are likely to be admitted into.
Tips for AFIT Post-UTME Candidates
- Stay Calm and Patient: The release of results is just the first stage. Admission lists usually follow in batches.
- Secure Your Documents: Gather all necessary admission documents—JAMB result slip, Post-UTME result slip, O’Level results, birth certificate, and local government certificate.
- Monitor Updates: Follow AFIT’s official channels, JAMB CAPS, and reliable education news platforms (like Myschool.ng) to avoid missing any updates.
- Avoid Fraudsters: Admission into AFIT is strictly merit-based. Do not fall victim to anyone promising “special slots” or “connections” in exchange for money.
Why Students Are Excited
AFIT is not just another university—it is a federal tertiary institution with a military foundation, giving it a unique academic environment. Students admitted into AFIT enjoy:
- High-quality teaching from experienced lecturers.
- Access to specialized programs not commonly offered in other Nigerian universities.
- A blend of military discipline with academic excellence, producing graduates who are disciplined, skilled, and employable.
- Opportunities for exposure to aviation, aerospace, and engineering technologies that are in high demand globally.
For many students, gaining admission into AFIT is not just about education—it is about building a future in technology, aviation, and defense sectors.
Final Thoughts
The release of the 2025/2026 Post-UTME results is an important milestone for all candidates seeking admission into the Air Force Institute of Technology. While some may be overjoyed with their performance, others may feel anxious about their chances. Whichever side you fall on, remember that the journey is not over yet—keep checking your JAMB CAPS and AFIT portal, stay informed, and prepare for the admission list release.
To all AFIT aspirants, congratulations on making it this far. Your dream of becoming an AFIT student may be just one step away!
