The management of Rivers State University (RSU) has officially announced the commencement of its Post UTME screening exercise for the 2026/2027 academic session. Candidates who selected RSU as their first choice institution during the 2026 UTME can now proceed with the online screening registration.
If you applied for RSU this year, this article will guide you on the cut-off mark, eligibility requirements, registration date, screening format, and other important instructions you should not ignore.
RSU Post UTME Form 2026/2027
The Rivers State University Post UTME registration will begin on Monday, 18th May 2026 and end on Sunday, 7th June 2026.
All interested candidates are expected to complete their registration before the closing date to avoid issues that usually come with late registration.
RSU Cut-Off Mark for 2026/2027 Admission
The general cut-off mark for the RSU Post UTME screening exercise is 190.
This means that only candidates who scored 190 and above in the 2026 UTME are eligible to apply for the screening exercise across all faculties in the university.
However, scoring 190 does not automatically guarantee admission because some competitive courses may require higher scores depending on the number of applicants.
Who is Eligible to Apply for the Rivers State University RSU Post UTME registration form?
To apply for the RSU Post UTME screening exercise, candidates must meet the following conditions:
- Candidates must choose RSU as their first choice institution during JAMB registration.
- Candidates must score at least 190 in the 2026 UTME.
- Candidates must possess a minimum of five O’Level credit passes according to the departmental requirements in the JAMB brochure.
- Candidates awaiting O’Level results can also apply but must indicate that their results are still pending.
- Candidates must upload their O’Level results to JAMB CAPS because admission cannot be processed without it.
One important thing many candidates forget is the uploading of O’Level results on the JAMB portal. Even if you perform well in the screening exercise, failure to upload your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB result on JAMB CAPS may affect your admission process. So make sure you confirm that your result has been uploaded correctly at an accredited CBT centre before admission begins.
