The UNILORIN Post UTME 2026/2027 registration portal officially closes this Sunday, August 9, 2026. If you selected the University of Ilorin as your first-choice institution in the 2026 UTME, this is the single most important week of your admission journey. Screening slips become printable from Monday, August 10, and the actual screening exercise holds from Thursday, August 13 to Saturday, August 15, 2026. Miss the Sunday deadline, and there is no guarantee of an extension.
This guide covers everything you need to know about this year’s screening exercise in one place: the exact dates, how the UNILORIN aggregate score is really calculated (competitors disagree — we clear it up below), cut-off marks by course, free sample screening questions, common mistakes that get candidates turned back at the gate, and how to prepare in the few days you have left before the screening begins.
UNILORIN Post UTME 2026/2027: Key Dates at a Glance
- Registration portal closes: Sunday, August 9, 2026
- Examination slip printing begins: Monday, August 10, 2026
- UNILORIN Post UTME 2026/2027 screening exercise holds: Thursday, August 13 – Saturday, August 15, 2026
- Exact exam date/time/venue: Shown only on your printed slip — attendance dates differ per candidate
According to UNILORIN’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr. Kunle Akogun, and Admissions Officer AbdulKareem Sanni, candidates who have completed their registration should print their scheduled examination slips promptly once printing opens, since the assigned date, time, and venue will only appear on that slip — not on a general notice. You can confirm official announcements directly on the University of Ilorin’s official website.
Step-by-Step: How to Complete UNILORIN Post UTME 2026/2027 Registration Before August 9
- Confirm eligibility. You must have selected UNILORIN as your first choice in UTME or Direct Entry, and meet the general institutional cut-off mark.
- Visit the official UNILORIN admissions portal (accessed via www.unilorin.edu.ng) — never use unofficial third-party links for your registration.
- Log in with your JAMB registration number and complete your bio-data.
- Upload your O’Level result(s) — a minimum of five credits including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in not more than two sittings. Note: only one sitting is accepted for MBBS, Pharmacy, Optometry & Vision Science, and Computer Engineering.
- Pay the screening fee and any additional NIN/O’Level verification charges through the approved payment channel.
- Review every entry — name, JAMB number, course, phone number, and email — before final submission. Errors here are one of the top reasons candidates lose their screening slot.
Exemptions: Candidates who applied through UTME or Direct Entry from outside Nigeria are not required to sit the screening test and will instead be screened after admission. Candidates with recognised disabilities — including blindness, deafness, autism, Down syndrome, dyslexia, ADHD, albinism, and cerebral palsy — are also exempted from the physical test. You can verify your general UTME eligibility status on the official JAMB portal.
UNILORIN Post UTME 2026/2027 Aggregate Score Formula — Clearing Up the Confusion
You’ll find several different “formulas” circulating online right now for this exercise, and most articles don’t tell you why they differ. Here’s the clarity you actually need:
UNILORIN’s admission aggregate is built on a 50:30:20 weighting model:
- UTME (JAMB) score: 50% of your total
- Post-UTME screening score: 30% of your total
- O’Level grades: 20%, based on your five relevant subjects
Worked example: If you scored 240 in UTME and 70 in your Post-UTME screening:
- UTME contribution: (240 ÷ 400) × 50 = 30
- Post-UTME contribution: (70 ÷ 100) × 30 = 21
- Running total before O’Level: 30 + 21 = 51
- Add your O’Level percentage (based on A1=6 to C6=1 grading across your best 5 subjects) to get your final aggregate
Some competitor sites simplify this into “JAMB ÷ 8 + Post-UTME ÷ 2,” which produces a similar range but ignores the O’Level component entirely — this is why you may see inconsistent example scores elsewhere. The 50:30:20 model above is the version most consistent with UNILORIN’s official communication for the 2026/2027 session, but always treat your printed result advice from the university portal as final.
UNILORIN Post UTME 2026/2027 Cut-Off Marks (Selected Courses)
- General institutional cut-off: 180
- Medicine and Surgery (MBBS): 250 official minimum, 260+ recommended to stay competitive
- Law: 230 and above
- Nursing: 230 and above
- Pharmacy: 230 and above
Meeting the general cut-off of 180 only qualifies you to register for the screening — it does not guarantee admission. Departmental cut-offs above are reported figures; always confirm the exact current-session mark for your course on the official UNILORIN admissions portal before applying.

What to Carry to the Screening Venue
- Printed examination slip (must be clear and readable)
- Valid means of identification (National ID, international passport, or driver’s license)
- Original and photocopies of O’Level result(s)
- JAMB UTME result slip
Common Mistakes That Get Candidates Turned Back
- Wrong dress code. UNILORIN enforces a formal, decent dress standard for the Post UTME screening. Casual wear such as singlets, shorts, or revealing outfits can get you denied entry.
- Arriving on the wrong date. The August 13–15 window is not a “come any day” exercise — your slip carries a specific assigned date and time.
- Blurry or unprinted slips. Print early and confirm every detail is legible.
- Mismatched bio-data. Your name and details on the slip must match your JAMB profile and O’Level result exactly.
- Carrying electronic devices. Phones, smartwatches, and other electronics are strictly prohibited in the exam hall.
Final Tips to Score High in the UNILORIN Post UTME 2026/2027 Screening
Because your Post-UTME score carries real weight — 30% under the official aggregate model — treat this exam with the same seriousness as UTME itself. Focus your remaining preparation days on your exact subject combination, time yourself under CBT conditions, and review previously tested topics rather than trying to cover new ground from scratch.
