The management of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has issued an urgent notice to specific Direct Entry (DE) applicants for the 2026/2027 academic session.

UNILORIN issues Post-UTME registration notice to Direct Entry candidates, 2026/2027

Who Needs to Take Action

If you recently upgraded your JAMB registration status from UTME to Direct Entry (DE), you are strongly advised to visit the UNILORIN portal immediately to complete your Post-UTME/DE screening registration so your application can be processed smoothly.

How to Complete Your Registration

If you are also preparing for the screening assessment, practice with the Mentra POST-UTME app, available on both Android and iOS.

I applied directly through JAMB DE from the start (I didn't upgrade from UTME) and already registered on the UNILORIN portal. Do I need to register again?

No, Cynthia! If you already completed your DE screening registration on the UNILORIN portal and your printout shows your Direct Entry details accurately, you do not need to register again. This notice is specifically for candidates who converted their UTME application to DE.

How long after upgrading from UTME to DE at a JAMB office does it reflect on UNILORIN's portal?

UNILORIN downloads updated records from JAMB CAPS periodically while the portal is open, Kelvin. Check the portal now since they just synced the upgraded DE records.
