The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has officially announced the commencement of its online registration for the 2025/2026 Post-UTME screening exercise for admission into all undergraduate programmes. The registration exercise will begin on Monday, July 28 and end on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, according to a notice signed by the university’s Registrar, Mrs. V. Abosede Wickliffe.
The exercise is strictly for candidates who made UNILAG their first choice in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and scored 200 and above. In addition to the UTME score requirement, candidates must also have five (5) credit passes in one sitting, including English Language and Mathematics, in relevant O’Level subjects.
Importantly, only candidates who have uploaded their O’Level results on the JAMB CAPS portal on or before September 12, 2025, will be eligible for admission consideration. Additionally, applicants must be at least 16 years of age by September 30, 2025. Candidates who do not meet this age requirement are advised not to apply.
Furthermore, participation in the Post-UTME online aptitude test is mandatory for all applicants. Failure to partake in the test will lead to automatic disqualification from the admission process. Candidates must also ensure they register with their personal and active email addresses, as this will be the primary means of communication during the screening process.
Former students of UNILAG whose admissions were previously withdrawn due to poor academic performance or absence status may reapply, but only for a different programme from their former course of study. However, students who were expelled from the University are not eligible for fresh admission under any circumstance.
The total fee for the screening application is ₦5,500, comprising ₦2,000 for the application and a ₦3,500 administrative charge.
