• Closing Date: Sunday, 12 July 2026 (11:59 p.m.)

Candidates are expected to complete every stage of the application, including payment, NIN verification, O'Level or A'Level details, and final submission before the deadline.

Who Is Eligible to Apply?

Candidates can apply if they:

• Selected University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) as their first-choice institution in the 2026 UTME.

• Applied for admission through Direct Entry (DE).

• Meet the admission requirements for their chosen course.

• Have the appropriate O'Level or A'Level qualifications.

• Complete the online registration before the deadline.

Candidates who wish to change from UTME to Direct Entry must first complete the upgrade through JAMB CAPS before registering on the UNILORIN portal.

How UNILORIN Calculates Admission Aggregate Score

Admission into the University of Ilorin is based on an aggregate score made up of three components:

• UTME or A'Level Score – 50%

• Post UTME Screening Score – 30%

• Five Relevant O'Level Grades – 20%

This means your admission does not depend solely on your UTME score. Your performance in the Post UTME screening and your relevant O'Level grades also play a significant role in determining your chances of admission.
