The Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has officially announced an extension of the deadline for the purchase and submission of its 2025/2026 Post-UTME and Direct Entry Screening Forms. The new deadline is now set for Saturday, August 23, 2025. This decision comes as a relief to many prospective candidates who had been concerned about meeting the earlier cut-off date due to varying logistical and personal challenges.
In a statement signed by the Academic Affairs Officer, Adohoje Emmanuel, the institution explained that the extension aims to provide more time for eligible candidates to complete their registration process. The management emphasised that FUOYE remains committed to creating an inclusive admission process that accommodates candidates from all backgrounds, ensuring that no qualified applicant is left behind due to avoidable delays.
The extension also reflects FUOYE’s understanding of the realities many students face, including financial constraints, access to the internet, and technical issues that may have hindered earlier registration attempts. This step reinforces the university’s reputation for maintaining a student-friendly approach in its administrative and academic operations.
Prospective candidates are reminded that the registration process remains fully online and can be completed via the university’s official portal: https://www.ecampus.fuoye.edu.ng/putme. The institution has assured applicants that the portal is secure, user-friendly, and designed to handle large volumes of traffic without disruptions.
FUOYE’s Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening exercise is a crucial step in the admission process, designed to assess the academic preparedness and suitability of candidates for the university’s diverse range of programmes. The institution prides itself on attracting some of the brightest minds in Nigeria, offering them a platform for academic growth and innovation.
With this extension, the university expects an increase in the number of applicants, as more students seize the opportunity to apply. FUOYE’s vibrant academic community is recognised for its robust curriculum, state-of-the-art facilities, and active student life, making it one of the most sought-after federal universities in the country.
The management has also urged applicants to avoid the last-minute rush and ensure that their information is correctly filled in during registration. Errors or incomplete forms could jeopardise their chances of being shortlisted for the next stage of the admission process. The Academic Affairs Office further warned against using unofficial agents or cyber cafés that might exploit unsuspecting applicants.
In closing, FUOYE reiterated its commitment to fairness, transparency, and excellence in its admission process. The extension until August 23, 2025, provides a second chance for many aspiring students to secure a place in the institution, and the management hopes that all eligible candidates will take full advantage of this opportunity.
