IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES FOR THE 2025/2026 POST UTME/DE SCREENING AT YOBE STATE UNIVERSITY (YSU)
Dear students and parents,
This is an important notice to all students who want to gain admission into Yobe State University (YSU) for the 2025/2026 academic session. Whether you are coming through UTME or Direct Entry (DE), this message is for you. Please read everything carefully and follow the instructions step by step.
1. WHAT ALL CANDIDATES MUST DO
If you are hoping to be admitted into Yobe State University, there are a few things you need to do before you can take part in the Post UTME or Direct Entry screening. These steps are very important and must be followed correctly.
Step 1: Generate REMITA at MINDWAVE MEDIA
Message MINDWAVE MEDIA
Tell MINDWAVE MEDIA you want to generate REMITA for Yobe State University Post UTME or Direct Entry screening.
The MINDWAVE MEDIA will help you generate something called an RRR number (this is a special number you need to make payment).
Make sure to write down or print this number because you will need it to pay your screening fee.
Step 2: Pay the Screening Fee
After you get your RRR number, you must pay the screening fee.
The screening fee is Two Thousand Naira only (₦2,000.00).
You must pay this money only through REMITA. Do not pay cash to anyone.
You can pay online, or CampusInfo can help you pay.
After paying, print your payment slip. You will need this as proof that you paid.
Step 3: Register Online
Now that you have paid, go online and register.
Visit the official Yobe State University Post UTME/DE registration portal.
Fill in all your details correctly.
Upload all the documents they ask for.
Make sure you double-check everything before you submit your form.
When you are done, print your registration slip and keep it safe.
Note: If you make any mistake in your registration, you may not be considered for admission.
2. DOCUMENTS YOU MUST BRING FOR SCREENING
When it is time for the screening exercise (that is, when the school invites you for physical verification or online checking), you must come along with some important documents. These documents will be used to check your identity, your results, and other things. Make sure you have originals and photocopies of all the documents listed below.
i. Original UTME or DE Slip (2025)
This is the slip that shows you registered for the 2025 UTME or Direct Entry.
It contains your details like name, photo, registration number, and exam center.
If you have lost yours, you can reprint it from the JAMB website.
ii. SSCE Result(s)
Bring your Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination result.
This could be from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB.
Make sure the result shows at least five (5) subjects including English and Mathematics.
The result can be original or statement of result from your school.
iii. Certificate of Indigene (Letter of Origin)
This is a letter that proves where you are from.
You can get it from your Local Government Area (LGA) office.
It is used to show that you are from a particular state or community.
iv. HND/NCE/ND/IJMB Result (for Direct Entry candidates only)
If you are applying through Direct Entry (DE), you must submit your result from any of these:

The result must be valid and complete.

It shows that you completed your basic education.
If you can’t find it, you can go back to your primary school to get another copy.

It can be your Birth Certificate or a sworn Declaration of Age from a court.
Make sure the date on this document matches the one you used during JAMB registration.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL SCREENING REGISTRATION
To help you have a smooth and successful screening process, here are some helpful tips:
Start Early: Do not wait until the deadline is close before starting your registration. Cyber cafés may be busy, and the portal may be slow due to many users.
Keep All Receipts and Slips: After payment and registration, print out everything. Keep your payment slip and registration slip safe in a folder.
Be Honest: Do not lie in your registration. Use your real names, dates, and results. If the school finds out that you used false documents, you will not be given admission.
Ask Questions: If you are confused about anything, ask someone who understands. You can talk to your teachers, café staff, or even call the school for help.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
