FUADSI Admission Portal 2025/2026-So you want to gain admission into the Federal University of Agriculture and Development Studies, Iragbiji — and you’ve been hearing about the FUADSI admission portal but don’t quite know where to start. Maybe you’ve visited the site once and got confused. Maybe you’re still trying to figure out if you even qualify. Whatever your situation, this guide breaks everything down — from the portal link to the exact steps you need to follow to complete your registration and check your result.
FUADSI is one of Nigeria’s newest federal universities, established in 2025 by President Bola Tinubu. It’s focused specifically on agriculture, applied sciences, and development studies. And despite being a young institution, it ran a full, competitive admission exercise for the 2025/2026 academic session that attracted thousands of applicants from across Nigeria. Let’s walk you through everything you need to know about the FUADSI admission portal.
What Is the FUADSI Admission Portal?
The FUADSI admission portal is the university’s official online platform for processing all admission-related activities. It’s where you apply, pay your fees, upload your documents, and track your application status. You don’t need to visit the university physically to complete your application — everything happens online through this portal.
Official Portal Link and What You’ll Find There
The official FUADSI undergraduate portal is located at portal.fuadsi.edu.ng. When you land on the homepage, you’ll see it’s organized into three distinct modules. That’s intentional — each module serves a different group of users.
Who Should Use Each Portal Module
There are three main sections on the portal, and you need to use the right one:
- Admissions Module — This is for new applicants and existing applicants who are tracking or completing an application for undergraduate degree programmes.
- Regular Students Module — This is for students who have already been admitted. You’ll use it for school fees payment, course registration, and downloading forms.
- Foundation Programme Module — This is specifically for candidates applying for Pre-Degree (Foundation) programmes. You can apply, pay fees, and download forms through this section.
If you’re a fresh applicant coming in through JAMB, you’ll be using the Admissions Module. If you got into the Pre-Degree programme, you’ll head to the Foundation Programme section.
For any portal issues, FUADSI’s support team is reachable via email at [email protected] or on WhatsApp at 08039152586.
FUADSI Admission Requirements for 2025/2026
Before you even touch the portal, you should know whether you qualify. FUADSI has clear eligibility criteria and if you don’t meet them, your application simply won’t go through.
JAMB UTME Score Requirements
The minimum UTME score required for admission into any programme at FUADSI is 150. Candidates who scored below 150 in the 2025 UTME are not eligible to apply. That said, meeting the minimum doesn’t guarantee admission — individual departmental cut-off marks vary, and competition plays a role.
O’Level Credit Requirements
You must have at least five O’Level credit passes in relevant subjects, including both English Language and Mathematics. These credits must be from WASSCE, NECO, or NABTEB. If you’re combining results from two sittings, you’ll need six credits across those two attempts. All your O’Level results must be uploaded directly on the admission portal during the screening process.
Age Requirement
Candidates must have turned at least 16 years old by September 30, 2025. This is a fixed requirement — there’s no wiggle room here.
Can You Apply Without Choosing FUADSI as First Choice?
Yes, you can. FUADSI made provision for candidates who didn’t originally pick them as their first choice. You can still apply using the “OTHER” choice option available on the University Admission Portal. However, there’s a catch — you must complete a change of institution to FUADSI on JAMB CAPS before the Post-UTME registration window closes. If you don’t do the JAMB CAPS change, your application won’t be valid.
Available Courses at FUADSI and Their Faculties
FUADSI has approval to run programmes across three faculties. Here’s a breakdown of what’s available:
Faculty of Agriculture and Renewable Natural Resources
This faculty offers a wide range of agriculture-related courses including Food Science and Technology, Soil Science, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Extension, Agribusiness, Horticulture and Landscape Management, Crop Science, Forestry and Wildlife Management, Family and Consumer Science, Water Resources Management and Agro-Meteorology, Fisheries and Aquaculture, and Animal Science. There’s also a five-year B.Agriculture degree with specialization options in Crop Science/Soil Science, Agricultural Economics/Agricultural Extension, and Animal Science.
Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences
This faculty offers courses like Applied Geophysics, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Plant Biology (Botany), Animal and Environmental Biology (Zoology), Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Statistics, Industrial Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, Marine Science, Microbiology, and Science Laboratory Technology.
Faculty of Social and Management Studies
Programmes here include Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, Entrepreneurship, and Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution.
In total, FUADSI has over 27 accredited programmes — and that number continues to grow as the NUC approves additional courses.
FUADSI Admission Portal — Step-by-Step Registration Guide
Here’s the exact process you need to follow. Don’t skip any step — each one feeds into the next.
Step 1 — Change Your First Choice to FUADSI on JAMB CAPS
If FUADSI wasn’t your original first choice during JAMB registration, you need to go to any JAMB-accredited CBT centre near you and request a change of institution to FUADSI. You can also do this directly on the JAMB e-facility portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng. This step must be completed before you attempt any registration on the FUADSI portal.
Step 2 — Visit the Official FUADSI Portal
Go to portal.fuadsi.edu.ng and click on the Admissions Module. Read through all the registration guidelines carefully before you start filling in anything. The portal has clear instructions on each page — don’t rush past them.
Step 3 — Pay Your Screening and Portal Access Fees via REMITA
FUADSI uses the REMITA platform for all payments. You’ll be required to pay:
- Post-UTME Screening Fee: ₦2,000
- Portal Access Fee: ₦3,000
Both payments are made directly through the REMITA platform on the FUADSI portal. Make sure you complete the payment and save your receipt or payment confirmation before proceeding.
Step 4 — Upload Your O’Level Results and Documents
After payment, you’ll be prompted to fill in your personal details and upload relevant documents. This includes your O’Level result(s), JAMB result, and passport photograph. Make sure the documents are clear, properly scanned, and meet the format requirements shown on the portal. Uploading blurry or incorrectly formatted files is a common reason applications get flagged.
Step 5 — Submit Your Application and Print Your Form
Once you’ve filled in all your details and uploaded everything required, review your information carefully. Double-check your name, JAMB registration number, and course of choice. Then submit the form. After successful submission, print a copy of your completed application form and keep it somewhere safe — you may need it during physical screening.
What to Do If You’re Not a First-Choice Candidate
This one trips a lot of people up. If FUADSI wasn’t your first choice when you registered for JAMB, here’s what you need to do specifically:
First, go to a JAMB CBT centre or use the JAMB e-facility platform to effect a change of first choice to FUADSI. After that’s done, head to the FUADSI portal and use the “OTHER” choice option during registration. This option is specifically designed for candidates who originally picked a different institution. You’ll still need to pay the required fees and upload your documents the same way first-choice candidates do.
Don’t try to register as a first-choice candidate if you’re not — the system cross-checks with JAMB’s database and your application may be invalidated.
FUADSI Post-UTME Screening — What You Need to Know
After you complete your portal registration, the next major step is the Post-UTME screening. This is a compulsory exercise for all UTME applicants.
Post-UTME Fee Breakdown
As already mentioned, you’ll pay a screening fee of ₦2,000 and a portal access fee of ₦3,000. These payments are non-negotiable and must be made before you can fully complete your registration. There are no exemptions.
How to Prepare for the Screening
FUADSI’s screening focuses on your academic background and subject knowledge. While the university hasn’t released detailed subject breakdowns for the screening test, you should review your UTME subject combinations and brush up on core topics relevant to your course. Also, make sure all your documents are in order before the screening date. Incomplete documentation is one of the most avoidable reasons candidates get held up.
How to Check Your FUADSI Post-UTME Result
Once the screening is over, FUADSI releases results on the portal. Here’s how to check yours:
- Go to portal.fuadsi.edu.ng/apply/
- Log in using your registered details
- Navigate to the results section
- Check your Post-UTME screening score
The university announced the release of 2025/2026 Post-UTME results in November 2025, with candidates directed to that exact URL to view their scores. Results are not sent by email or SMS — you have to check on the portal yourself.
How to Check Your FUADSI Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
Checking your FUADSI admission status on JAMB CAPS is just as important as checking on the university’s own portal. Here’s how:
- Visit efacility.jamb.gov.ng
- Log in using your JAMB username and password
- Navigate to the CAPS section
- Check your admission status
If you’ve been offered admission, you’ll see an offer on CAPS. You must accept the offer promptly — failing to accept your admission on JAMB CAPS, even if FUADSI has offered you a place, can result in losing your admission slot. Don’t delay on this step.
FUADSI Pre-Degree Programme — Portal Registration Guide
If you’re not yet fully qualified for direct undergraduate admission — maybe your O’Level results have a minor deficiency or you just want extra academic preparation — FUADSI’s Pre-Degree (Foundation) Programme might be right for you.
Pre-Degree Eligibility and Fees
The Pre-Degree programme is open to candidates who are preparing for entry into undergraduate degree studies. Even candidates with minor O’Level deficiencies can apply, but those deficiencies must be corrected before the 2026/2027 undergraduate admission exercise. The application fee for the Pre-Degree programme is ₦15,000, paid through the REMITA platform on the Foundation portal.
How to Apply via the Foundation Portal
To apply for the Pre-Degree programme, visit portal.fuadsi.edu.ng/foundation or the university’s main website at fuadsi.edu.ng. Fill out the online application form completely, submit it, and print two copies of the completed form for documentation when you resume. After completing the Pre-Degree programme, you must still obtain an acceptable JAMB UTME score in the 2026/2027 examination to qualify for undergraduate degree admission.
Common Portal Issues and How to Solve Them
Let’s be honest — admission portals can be frustrating. Here are the most common problems candidates face on the FUADSI portal and how to deal with them.
Activation Email Not Received
If you signed up for an activation token but didn’t receive the email, the first thing to do is check your spam or junk folder. Activation emails sometimes get filtered out. If it’s not there either, try using a different email address — preferably a Gmail or Yahoo account, as these tend to work more reliably with the portal.
Token Expired Before Activation
Activation tokens on the portal expire after 48 hours. If yours expires before you activate it, you’ll need to repeat the sign-up process and generate a new token. Don’t wait — once you get your token, activate it as soon as possible.
Details Not Found as First Choice
If you log into the portal and the system can’t find your details as a first-choice candidate, it means your JAMB CAPS change of institution either hasn’t been processed yet or wasn’t done at all. Go back to a JAMB CBT centre, confirm that the change went through, and then try the portal again after 24 to 48 hours. You can also use the “OTHER” choice option in the meantime and update it once your CAPS change is confirmed.
For any issue that isn’t resolved by the above steps, contact FUADSI’s support team directly at [email protected] or on WhatsApp at 08039152586.
FUADSI Admission Cut-Off Marks 2025/2026
FUADSI released its official cut-off marks for all 27 programmes in November 2025. The cut-off system is divided into three categories:
- Merit Score — for candidates who are not from catchment states and are competing strictly on academic performance
- Catchment States — for candidates who are indigenes of states within FUADSI’s designated catchment zone
- Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS) — for candidates from states recognized under the ELDS quota system
The general minimum JAMB score for any programme is 150, but individual departments have their own cut-off marks above that baseline. More competitive programmes in science and agriculture typically require higher aggregate scores. Always check the full cut-off table on the FUADSI official website or the Edubase.ng update for the complete departmental breakdown.
Meeting the cut-off mark doesn’t guarantee admission. Your final ranking also factors in your Post-UTME score, O’Level grades, and the available slots in your chosen department.
