This is to inform all candidates who applied for admission into Federal University Birnin Kebbi through the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (D.E), and who selected the university as their first choice institution, that the online screening process for the 2025/2026 academic session has officially commenced.

This exercise is a critical requirement for all prospective students seeking admission into various undergraduate programs offered by the institution.
Candidates eligible for the screening are those who obtained a minimum score of 150 in the UTME examination. In addition, Direct Entry candidates who possess at least a Lower Credit at the National Diploma level from recognized institutions or have obtained a minimum of 7 points at NCE or IJMB are also eligible to participate in this screening.
