List of Federal Universities Admission Lists 2025 [Check Your Name Now]

Are you among the thousands of students who sat for the 2025 JAMB UTME and are waiting to gain admission into a federal university in Nigeria? The admission lists for many schools have started rolling out, and this post will guide you on how to check the Federal University Admission List 2025 for your school.

Nigeria’s university admission process is largely coordinated by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). Once candidates write their UTME or Direct Entry exams, they wait for federal universities to compile and release their admission lists. These lists often go through several batches: merit list (first batch), second list, and sometimes supplementary lists.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll provide a full list of all federal universities, the status of their 2025 admission lists, and direct links to their Post-UTME or admission portals.

What Is an Admission List?

An admission list is a compilation of names of successful candidates who have been offered provisional admission into a university. These lists are usually released in batches:

• Merit list (1st batch)

• Second batch

• Supplementary/VC’s list

Once your name appears on a list, you’re expected to:

• Accept the offer on JAMB CAPS

• Print your admission letter

• Proceed for screening and clearance

How Federal Universities Release Their Admission Lists

Most federal universities in Nigeria follow a standardized process when releasing their admission lists:

1. Internal Screening – Based on UTME scores, post-UTME, and sometimes O’Level results.

2. JAMB Approval – Universities send candidate lists to JAMB for final approval.

3. Online Publication – Lists are uploaded to the school’s portal and JAMB CAPS.

Admission lists are typically released in phases:

• Merit List: High scorers who met all requirements.

• Second List: More candidates, often based on space availability.

• Supplementary List: Special admissions, often less competitive courses.
