Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has commenced its Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Post-UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) screening for the 2025/2026 academic session.

However, only candidates who scored 200 and above will be considered for admission into competitive programmes such as Medicine, Nursing, Law, and Common and Islamic Law. Applicants who selected any of these courses but did not meet the cut-off are advised to apply for other suitable programmes.
In accordance with national admission policy, candidates must be at least 16 years old by 30th September 2025 to be eligible. Applicants below this age have been advised not to apply.
