The management of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University (IBBU), Lapai has officially announced the reopening of its Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening portal for the 2025/2026 academic session. This special opportunity is meant for candidates who could not complete their screening process earlier or missed the first phase of registration.
The announcement was contained in a public notice signed by Alhaji Idris Sale Kusherki, the Registrar of the institution, on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor. The management emphasized that this reopening marks the final opportunity for all eligible UTME and DE candidates to complete their screening process for the ongoing admission exercise.
Reopening Details and Important Dates
According to the notice, the IBBU Post-UTME/DE screening portal will be open from Friday, 25th October 2025, to Thursday, 31st October 2025. Candidates are urged to take advantage of this limited period to complete their registration, as the portal will not be reopened again once it closes.
Failure to meet the new deadline will automatically result in loss of eligibility for admission consideration into the university for the 2025/2026 session.
Who Is Eligible to Apply
This reopened window is strictly for:
- UTME candidates who chose IBBU Lapai as their first choice and could not complete their Post-UTME registration earlier.
- Direct Entry (DE) applicants who have not yet finalized their screening form submission.
Candidates who have already completed and submitted their screening forms in the previous phase should not reapply, as doing so may lead to disqualification or data conflicts.
Why This Update Is Important
Many applicants faced challenges such as poor network, incomplete payments, or data upload errors during the first round of the registration exercise. By reopening the portal, IBBU has shown its commitment to ensuring equal access and fairness for all aspiring students.
This reopening also provides relief for candidates who genuinely could not meet the earlier deadline due to unavoidable reasons. However, the university warns that this will be the last and final extension for the 2025/2026 admission process.
Step-by-Step Guide to Complete the Screening
To successfully complete the IBBU screening registration, candidates should follow these steps carefully:

- Save and print your payment receipt and acknowledgement slip.

What Happens Next After the Screening
After the portal closes, IBBU will process all submissions and evaluate candidates based on:
- Their UTME scores (for UTME applicants),
- O’Level results (for all candidates), and
- DE qualifications (for Direct Entry applicants).
Successful candidates will be shortlisted and invited for the physical verification exercise, after which the university will publish the official admission lists on the portal and on JAMB CAPS.
Applicants are therefore advised to check the portal regularly for further updates on admission procedures, departmental cut-off marks, and verification schedules.
