Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) has extended the deadline for its 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening exercise by two weeks. The new closing date is Wednesday, 14 October 2026.
The original deadline was 30 September 2026. The university management approved the extension so that candidates who ran into problems could still complete their applications.
Why the Extension Was Granted
According to the university, many eligible candidates were unable to finish their screening before the initial deadline because of:
• Difficulties with change of institution or change of course
• NECO token-related issues
• Other technical or documentation challenges
The extra two-week window (which began on 1 October 2026) gives these candidates another chance to regularise their applications and meet the screening requirements.

What You Need to Do Before 14 October 2026
If you are affected, treat this extension as your final opportunity. Here are the practical steps most candidates need to take:
1. Resolve any pending change of institution or course on the JAMB CAPS portal if you have not already done so.
2. Sort out NECO token problems (purchase or validate the token if required for result verification).
3. Log into the NSUK admission portal and complete any outstanding screening steps (bio-data, document upload, payment, etc.).
4. Double-check that all required documents and information are correctly submitted.
5. Do not wait until the last day — technical issues often increase near deadlines.
The university has specifically advised candidates and their parents/guardians to act promptly rather than assume another extension will be given.
Important Clarifications
• This is not a new Post-UTME exercise. It is simply an additional period for candidates who are already part of the 2026/2027 admission process.
• Only candidates who meet NSUK’s existing eligibility criteria should apply.
• Completing the screening within the extended period is important for your admission chances.
The official notice was signed by Ramatu A. Liman, Esq., Senior Deputy Registrar (Academic Affairs), on behalf of the Registrar.
Final Advice
If you experienced problems with NECO tokens, change of institution/course, or any other part of the process, use the remaining days carefully. Complete everything well before 14 October 2026.
For the most accurate and up-to-date instructions, always cross-check on the official NSUK website or admission portal rather than relying solely on secondary sources.
Prospective students are encouraged to finish all outstanding requirements now so they do not miss this extended window.
