AAUA Official Portal

To avoid scams and misinformation, always use the official university links:

• Main University Website: https://aaua.edu.ng/
• Likely Post-UTME/Admission Portal: AAUA often uses a dedicated portal for admissions, typically found at a subdomain like putme.aaua.edu.ng. Always access it via the main university website.

Part 1: Applying via the AAUA Post-UTME Portal

The first step in your admission journey is the Post-UTME screening application. Here’s everything you need to know.

Important Note: AAUA’s Screening is Online (No Exam)

Unlike some universities, AAUA does not conduct a physical Post-UTME examination. The screening process is based on an online evaluation of your JAMB score and your O’Level results. This makes the accuracy of the data you submit on the portal critically important.

Eligibility Criteria for 2025/2026

To qualify for the AAUA Post-UTME screening, you must meet these requirements:

1. First Choice: You must have selected AAUA as your First Choice institution in the 2025 JAMB UTME.
2. JAMB Cut-Off Mark: You must score a minimum of 160 in the 2025 UTME. Please note: This is the general cut-off. Competitive courses like Law, Mass Communication, and Health Sciences will require significantly higher scores to be considered for admission.
3. O’Level Requirements: You must have at least five (5) credit passes in relevant subjects, including Mathematics and English Language, in not more than two sittings.
