As the 2025/2026 admission season gets underway, the Federal University Wukari (FUWUKARI), Taraba State, has officially released details of its Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening exercise. For prospective students who selected FUWUKARI as their first choice during the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), this announcement is one of the most important milestones on their academic journey.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about the FUWUKARI Post-UTME/DE 2025 exercise — including the approved cut-off marks by faculty, eligibility criteria, registration procedures, and helpful tips to improve your chances of securing admission.
📌 Overview of FUWUKARI Admission Screening
The Post-UTME/DE screening is a critical part of FUWUKARI’s admission process. After JAMB has released UTME results, universities set their own minimum benchmarks to screen candidates before final admission is offered.
For FUWUKARI, cut-off marks differ across faculties and programmes, reflecting the competitiveness of certain courses like Medicine, Law, and Engineering compared to less demanding ones in Education or Agriculture.
This system ensures that students admitted into highly technical and professional courses meet a stronger academic baseline, while still allowing a broad range of students to access opportunities across the university.
