FUTA Suspends MBBS Admission for 2026/2027. The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) will not admit students into its MBBS programme for the 2026/2027 academic session. The suspension applies to all admission routes, including UTME and Direct Entry. Candidates who selected FUTA for MBBS during UTME registration are advised to change their institution immediately.
MBBS Admission at FUTA Suspended
The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) has officially announced that it will not conduct admissions into its Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme for the 2026/2027 academic session.
The suspension is total and affects:
- UTME candidates
- Direct Entry candidates
No admissions will be processed for MBBS at FUTA for the 2026/2027 session under any category.
Who This Affects
This update is particularly important for candidates who:
- Selected MBBS at FUTA during the ongoing UTME registration
- Intended to apply to FUTA for MBBS through Direct Entry
The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), and candidates’ choices are processed through JAMB’s admission system.
What Affected Candidates Should Do Now
Candidates who have already chosen FUTA for MBBS are strongly advised to act immediately.
Next steps:
- Log in to the JAMB Change of Institution portal
- Select another university offering MBBS for the 2026/2027 academic session
- Complete the change before admission processes advance further
Delaying this decision may put the candidate at risk of losing an admission opportunity entirely for the session.
Key Takeaway
FUTA will not admit MBBS students for 2026/2027, including those applying through Direct Entry. Any candidate still listing FUTA for MBBS should change to another medical school as soon as possible to remain eligible for admission.
Candidates are advised to monitor official updates and make informed choices during the UTME admission process.
