University of Ilorin, UNILORIN, has invited candidates who applied for admission into the University for the 2026/2027 academic session as first choice, either through UTME or Direct Entry, to join the Post UTME screening exercise.
Candidates are advised to read the registration rules before payment and submission, because wrong entries will automatically disqualify a candidate and the University will not be responsible for incorrect information submitted by any applicant.
Who can apply for UNILORIN Post UTME/DE screening?
The screening exercise is for candidates who selected University of Ilorin as first choice for the 2026/2027 academic session.
The invitation covers UTME candidates and Direct Entry candidates and each candidate should complete the procedure through the official undergraduate pre-admission portal.
When is UNILORIN Post UTME registration?
Registration will open at 00:01 on Monday, 22 June 2026 and close at 23:59 on Sunday, 19 July 2026.
Candidates should complete payment, NIN verification, O'Level or A'Level entries and final submission before the portal closes.
How will UNILORIN admission score be calculated?
Offer of admission will be based on an aggregate score drawn from UTME or A'Level, Post UTME screening and five relevant O'Level grades.
The stated weighting is:
- UTME or A'Level score, 50%
- Post UTME screening score, 30%
- Five relevant O'Level grades, 20%
This means a candidate's final admission rating will depend on more than the UTME or A'Level score and correct O'Level details should be supplied before final submission.
What should candidates have before registration starts?
Candidates should have the required personal and examination details ready before starting the online form.
The required items are:
- National Identification Number, NIN
- O'Level Result Checker
- Personal active email address
- Personal mobile number
- O'Level or A'Level result details, where applicable
- JAMB Registration Number
A third-party phone number should not be used, because the supplied phone number and email address will be used for further communication.
What are the JAMB CAPS rules for UNILORIN screening?
Candidates should upload their O'Level and A'Level results, where applicable, on JAMB CAPS.
Candidates awaiting results should indicate this by typing or selecting "AR".
Candidates who wish to change course or programme should make the change on JAMB CAPS, not on the UNILORIN portal, as the University will periodically download such changes from JAMB CAPS and update its portal until registration closes.
After registration closes, the University will stop updating course or programme changes on its portal.
Which courses require one-sitting O'Level results?
O'Level results obtained at one sitting only will be accepted for the following courses:
