Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology (ADUSTECH), Wudil, has officially released its 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening registration, confirmed directly in a notice signed by Registrar Dr. Naheed Ibrahim. Registration is open now, with a deadline of Saturday, 29 August 2026 about two weeks from now, so there’s genuinely still time to apply, but not much to spare.

This guide covers exactly who’s eligible, what the screening fee is, and the full step-by-step registration process, so you can complete your application correctly the first time rather than risking a delay this close to the deadline.

A Note on the University’s Name

ADUSTECH was formerly known as Kano University of Science and Technology (KUST), Wudil. You’ll still see the old name and its domain, kustwudil.edu.ng, referenced across various admission guides and even the university’s own portal address this is the same institution under its updated name, not a different school. Don’t be thrown off if you see both names used interchangeably, and don’t assume a guide referencing “KUST” is describing an entirely separate, unrelated university.

Eligibility Requirements

• You must have selected ADUSTECH as your First Choice Institution in the 2026 UTME candidates who chose it as a second choice would need to complete a change of institution through JAMB first.
• You must meet the minimum UTME score approved for your specific preferred programme cut-off marks vary by course, so confirm the exact figure for your intended degree.
• Direct Entry applicants who applied to ADUSTECH are also eligible to register for the screening exercise.
• O’Level results from a combination of up to two sittings are accepted (for example, combining WAEC and NECO results).
• Candidates still awaiting O’Level results can register under “Awaiting Result” status, but must update their grades on both the ADUSTECH portal and their JAMB CAPS profile the moment their results are released.
• Your JAMB registration number and personal details must match exactly across your UTME profile and your ADUSTECH screening registration.

Some of the Available Programmes

• B.Sc. (Hons.) Computer Science
• B.Sc. (Hons.) Architecture
• B.Eng. Civil Engineering
• B.Eng. Electrical Engineering
• B.Sc. (Hons.) Science Laboratory Technology
• Additional programmes across the university’s other faculties, each carrying its own specific UTME cut-off requirement.

This isn’t an exhaustive list ADUSTECH offers a broader range of undergraduate programmes across its faculties, each with its own specific UTME cut-off mark. Check the official portal for the complete list and confirm your intended course’s exact requirement, since applying under the wrong assumed cut-off could mean registering for screening when your score doesn’t actually meet your chosen department’s threshold.

Documents to Prepare

•  Your 2026 UTME result slip.
• O’Level results (WAEC and/or NECO) uploaded to your JAMB CAPS profile.
• Direct Entry qualifying certificate, for DE candidates specifically.
• A valid means of identification.
• A recent passport photograph.

Screening Fee

A non-refundable fee of ₦2,000 is charged for the screening exercise, payable directly through the university’s official portal. Keep your payment receipt alongside your registration confirmation, since you may be asked to present proof of payment at a later admission stage.

No Physical Exam Required

ADUSTECH uses an online credential screening model there’s no written or computer-based Post-UTME exam, and your physical appearance isn’t required during the initial application window. Screening is based on your verified UTME score and O’Level results rather than a separate test, so there’s no exam performance to offset a documentation error. Accuracy in what you submit matters more as a result. Double-check that your names, O’Level grades, and personal details are entered identically across both your JAMB profile and the ADUSTECH portal before final submission.
