In a new development eagerly anticipated by thousands of applicants, the Federal University of Technology, Minna (FUTMINNA) has commenced the release of proposed admission lists for candidates who applied for Medical and Allied Health courses through the university’s University Pre-Admission Screening Exercise (UPASE) Portal.
A Major Step Forward for FUTMINNA’s Medical Programmes
This marks a significant milestone in the institution’s admission process, especially for students seeking entry into medical-related disciplines — a field that has witnessed an overwhelming number of applicants since the university announced its expansion into Medicine and Health Sciences.
According to credible updates from the university’s admission monitoring channels, some aspirants who sat for the 2025/2026 UPASE screening exercise have started noticing changes in their portal status. Specifically, applicants whose status now reads “Cleared” are advised to keep checking the portal regularly, as their provisional admission offers may soon appear.
Meaning of “Cleared” on the UPASE Portal
The “Cleared” status indicates that a candidate has successfully passed all eligibility checks, including:
- O’level result verification,
- UTME subject combination compliance, and
- Screening score qualification.
Candidates in this category are strongly encouraged to remain patient and frequently refresh their UPASE portal dashboards, as the admission list is being released in batches.
Courses Affected in the First Batch
While the university has not yet made an official press release listing the specific departments included in the first round, insider sources suggest that the initial uploads on the UPASE portal may involve:
- Medicine and Surgery (MBBS)
- Nursing Science
- Medical Laboratory Science
- Human Anatomy
- Physiology
Other related departments are expected to follow shortly as the admission process continues.
Instructions for Aspirants
Applicants who notice a “Cleared” status should:
- Log in regularly to the UPASE portal to monitor any update in their admission status.
- Avoid panic or multiple logins that may cause temporary system lag.

University Urges Patience and Caution
While the process is ongoing, the university management has urged all candidates to exercise patience and refrain from relying on third-party sources or unverified admission claims. All authentic admission notifications will only appear on the UPASE platform and the official JAMB CAPS portal.
Next Phase: JAMB CAPS Admission Confirmation
After a candidate sees an “Admitted” status on the UPASE portal, they are expected to:
- Visit the JAMB CAPS portal,
- Accept or reject the admission offer, and
- Print the JAMB admission letter for clearance at the university.
Final Note
The release of proposed admission lists for medical courses signifies FUTMINNA’s continued commitment to academic expansion, innovation, and inclusion of health-related disciplines in its curriculum. For now, all prospective students are advised to remain calm and check the portal regularly for updates.
