About the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN)
The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) was established in 1975 and is located in Ilorin, Kwara State. It is a federal university accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and consistently ranks among the top five universities in Nigeria. UNILORIN is widely regarded for its strong programmes in Law, Medicine, Engineering, and Education, and has earned a reputation as one of the most academically disciplined universities in the country.
UNILORIN has set its minimum JAMB cut-off mark at 180 for the 2026/2027 academic session. Competitive courses such as Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacy, and Law typically require scores well above this minimum.
UNILORIN Post UTME 2026/2027 — Important Dates
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Registration opens | Monday, 22 June 2026 (00:01) |
| Registration closes | Sunday, 5 July 2026 (23:59) |
| NIN verification window | Within registration period |
| O’Level/A’Level upload on JAMB CAPS | Before registration closes |
Do not wait until the final days to register. The UNILORIN portal experiences high traffic close to the deadline, and technical issues near the closing date have locked out candidates in previous sessions.
Who Is Eligible to Apply
To participate in the UNILORIN Post UTME / Direct Entry screening for 2026/2027, you must meet all of the following:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| First choice | UNILORIN must be your first-choice institution on JAMB |
| JAMB score | Minimum of 180 in UTME |
| O’Level credits | Minimum 5 credits in relevant subjects (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) |
| Sittings | Not more than two sittings |
| NIN | Valid National Identification Number required |
| Age | Minimum 16 years |
| Direct Entry | Valid ND, HND, or A’Level qualifications from an accredited institution |
Second-choice candidates are not eligible. UNILORIN only invites first-choice UTME and DE candidates.
Candidates with recognised disabilities — including those who are blind, deaf, mute, autistic, amputees, or have cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, ADHD, dyslexia, albinism, or disfigurement — are exempted from the Post UTME screening test. Such candidates should note this status during registration.
UNILORIN Aggregate Score Formula
Admission at UNILORIN is not based on JAMB score alone. The university uses a three-component aggregate formula:
| Component | Weight |
|---|---|
| UTME / A’Level score | 50% |
| Post UTME screening score | 30% |
| Five relevant O’Level grades | 20% |
This means a strong Post UTME performance and clean O’Level results can significantly improve your admission chances, even if your JAMB score is only just above the cut-off.
How to Apply for UNILORIN Post UTME 2026/2027 — Step by Step
Follow these steps exactly. Do not use any third-party link or cybercafé portal.
Step 1: Visit the Official Portal
Go to portal.unilorin.edu.ng/ug/admissions — or visit portal.unilorin.edu.ng and click Post-UTME Registration. Do not use any other link. Third-party portals are not authorised and UNILORIN will not be responsible for payments made outside the official platform.
Step 2: Verify Your Details
On the Undergraduate Pre-Admission page, click “Verify your details” on the right-hand side of the screen. Enter your JAMB Registration Number, phone number, and email address. Your surname and first name will be automatically displayed for confirmation.
Use a personal, active phone number and email address — not one from a cybercafé. All further communications from UNILORIN will go to these contacts.
Step 3: Make Payment via Remita
Click “Verify” to proceed to the payment page, then click “Make Payment” to go to the Remita platform. Select your ATM card type (Visa or Mastercard) and enter your card details to pay the ₦2,000 registration fee.
If you are unsure whether your payment went through, do not pay again immediately. Wait for a bank debit alert, then return to the pre-admission page and click “Confirm your Payment” to validate using your JAMB Registration Number.
Step 4: Complete NIN Verification
Verify your National Identification Number (NIN) during registration. NIN verification is a one-time process — if your NIN or date of birth is incorrect, the system cannot be corrected after submission. Double-check before proceeding.
Step 5: Enter Your Examination Details
Enter your O’Level examination details and a valid result checker PIN. If your results are not yet out, indicate “AR” (Awaiting Results). All O’Level and A’Level results must also be uploaded on JAMB CAPS before the portal closes.
Step 6: Change of Course (If Applicable)
If you need to change your course or programme, do this on JAMB CAPS only — not on the UNILORIN portal. UNILORIN periodically downloads course changes from JAMB CAPS and updates its own records up until registration closes. No changes are processed after the portal closes.
Step 7: Submit and Print Your Slip
Click “Submit” after confirming all details are correct. You can review and correct entries during the registration period right up to the portal closure. Once you are satisfied, submit and print your registration slip. Confirm that all information displays correctly before leaving the portal.
Step 8: Direct Entry Candidates — Additional Steps
Direct Entry candidates follow the same registration procedure (Steps 1–7) above, with the following additions:
- Select your highest academic qualification from the drop-down menu and provide all relevant information
- If you are upgrading from UTME to Direct Entry, complete the upgrade on JAMB CAPS first, before starting your UNILORIN portal registration
- Ensure the exact DE details from JAMB CAPS are entered on the UNILORIN portal
UNILORIN Post UTME — What to Expect on Screening Day
The UNILORIN Post UTME screening is a Computer-Based Test (CBT). It typically covers between 40 and 60 objective questions drawn from four subjects — including English Language and the three subjects relevant to your chosen programme. The exam follows the JAMB syllabus; there is no separate UNILORIN-specific syllabus beyond what JAMB has already set.
The exact screening date for the 2026/2027 session has not yet been announced. UNILORIN will communicate screening schedules to registered candidates via their submitted email addresses. Confirm your screening timetable on the portal after registration closes.
