Candidates seeking admission into the Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike (AE-FUNAI), Ebonyi State, for the 2026/2027 academic session should regularly monitor their JAMB profiles and the university’s admission portal.
The university has concluded the registration phase of its 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening exercise after extending the deadline to August 14, 2026. Candidates were required to upload their O’Level or Direct Entry results to JAMB CAPS as part of the screening requirements.
As the admission process progresses, candidates may begin to see changes in their admission status on JAMB CAPS. However, candidates should rely on their individual JAMB and AE-FUNAI admission status rather than admission rumours circulating on social media.
How to Check AE-FUNAI Admission Status
Candidates can check their admission status through both JAMB CAPS and the university’s admission portal.
Check through JAMB CAPS
1. Visit the JAMB e-Facility portal.
2. Log in with the details linked to your JAMB profile.
3. Select “Check Admission Status.”
4. Select the appropriate examination year.
5. Enter your JAMB registration number where required.
6. Select “Access my CAPS.”
7. Click on “Admission Status.”
8. Review the status displayed on the screen.
Candidates who receive an admission offer should carefully check the institution and programme before accepting it.
Check through the AE-FUNAI portal
AE-FUNAI also provides a university admission-status checker.
Candidates can:
1. Visit the AE-FUNAI admission portal.
2. Click on “Check Admission Status.”
3. Enter their JAMB registration number.
4. Click “Check Admission Status.”
5. Download the registration procedure if admission has been offered.
6. Follow the instructions provided by the university.
These steps are contained in an official AE-FUNAI admission-status notice.
What Admitted Candidates Should Do Next
Receiving an admission offer is only the beginning of the registration process.
Candidates who have secured admission should complete the required steps within the deadlines announced by JAMB and AE-FUNAI.
1. Accept the Admission
Candidates offered admission through JAMB CAPS should accept the offer if they intend to take up the admission.
They should not reject an offer because of confusion over the CAPS interface or because they are waiting for another institution.
Candidates should first confirm that the institution and programme displayed are the ones they intend to accept.
2. Confirm the Admission on AE-FUNAI Portal
After accepting the JAMB offer, candidates should check the AE-FUNAI admission portal and follow the registration instructions attached to their admission status.
The university’s admission notice specifically directs successful candidates to download the registration procedure and proceed with the acceptance process.
3. Verify the Student Portal Account
AE-FUNAI’s student portal process requires newly admitted students to verify their accounts.
The university’s published process involves visiting the university portal, selecting “Verify Your Account,” choosing the student type and entering the JAMB registration number.
Candidates should then create their login details and access their student profile.
4. Complete Your Profile
After logging into the student portal, candidates should complete their profile information.
AE-FUNAI instructs students to update their profile details and print the student profile information page after completing the required information.
Candidates should ensure that the information supplied is accurate and consistent with their JAMB and academic records.
5. Pay the Acceptance Fee
The university’s published student portal procedure provides for the generation of an acceptance invoice after admission.
According to the university’s portal guide, students can log in, select the Acceptance menu, generate an acceptance invoice for the relevant session and use the payment reference provided on the invoice to make payment.
Candidates should use only payment instructions displayed through official AE-FUNAI channels.
6. Complete Clearance and Course Registration
After the acceptance stage, candidates should follow the university’s instructions for clearance, payment of approved charges and course registration.
They should keep copies of payment receipts, admission documents, academic credentials and other registration documents required by the university.
AE-FUNAI may publish additional instructions and deadlines as the 2026/2027 admission exercise progresses.
O’Level Result Upload Is Important
Candidates should ensure that their O’Level results are properly uploaded to JAMB CAPS.
AE-FUNAI expressly required candidates participating in the 2026/2027 screening exercise to upload their O’Level or A’ Level results to JAMB CAPS. The university stated that applications without the required result upload would not be processed.
Candidates should therefore resolve any outstanding result-upload issue before assuming that an admission delay means they have been unsuccessful.
AE-FUNAI Courses and 2026/2027 Screening Scores
AE-FUNAI has published the programmes available for the 2026/2027 admission exercise together with their minimum UTME screening scores.
These figures should not be interpreted as guaranteed admission cut-off marks. They are the minimum scores stated by the university to guide candidates’ eligibility for the screening exercise. Admission remains subject to the university’s admission process and other programme requirements.

The above programme and score information is taken from AE-FUNAI’s official 2026/2027 screening notice.
Programmes With Special O’Level Requirements
Candidates should pay particular attention to programmes with additional requirements.
AE-FUNAI stated that candidates seeking admission into Medicine and Surgery, Law, Nursing Science and Medical Laboratory Science must have their O’Level results in one sitting.
The university also advised candidates to check the required UTME and O’Level subject combinations for their chosen programmes.
This is particularly important for candidates who meet the minimum UTME score but may not satisfy the subject or O’Level requirements for their preferred course.
Important Advice to Candidates
Candidates should be careful with admission agents and social-media accounts claiming to have access to AE-FUNAI’s admission list.
Do not give out your JAMB password, email password, bank details or other confidential information to anyone claiming to be an admission officer.
Candidates should also avoid paying for an admission offer that cannot be verified through JAMB CAPS or the university’s official admission system.
For those awaiting admission, the safest approach is to keep checking the relevant portals, ensure all required information has been uploaded and wait for official instructions.
Successful candidates should accept genuine offers, complete the university’s registration process and keep all payment and registration documents safely.
With the 2026/2027 admission exercise now moving beyond the screening stage, candidates are advised to rely on verified information from AE-FUNAI and JAMB rather than rumours or unofficial admission lists.
