Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado-Ekiti, has extended the deadline for the 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening registration to October 31, 2026. Prospective candidates who have not yet completed their applications now have additional time before the portal closes.
The university earlier opened the online screening exercise on 3 July 2026. There is no written Post-UTME examination— admission screening is based on online submission of credentials, UTME scores, and O’Level results.
