UNILORIN Post-UTME/DE 2026: Cut-off mark, Eligibility and Registration Details

UNILORIN Admission Aggregate Formula & Key Rules

  • Aggregate Scoring Breakdown:
    • UTME / A'Level Score: 50%
    • Post-UTME Screening Score: 30%
    • Five (5) Relevant O'Level Grades: 20%
  • Single-Sitting Only Courses: O'Level results obtained at one (1) sitting ONLY are accepted for MB;BS (Medicine & Surgery), Pharmacy, Optometry & Vision Science, and Computer Engineering.
  • Change of Course & Upgrade to DE: Any change of course or upgrade from UTME to Direct Entry must be completed on JAMB CAPS before registration closes, as UNILORIN downloads updates directly from JAMB CAPS until the portal closes.
  • NIN & O'Level Checker Requirement: Before starting, ensure you have your National Identification Number (NIN), a valid O'Level Result Checker PIN, and your personal email address and phone number. Note that NIN and O'Level verification charges apply post-registration, and your NIN and O'Level exam number on the UNILORIN portal must match those on JAMB CAPS.
  • Exemptions from Screening Test: International candidates (who applied outside Nigeria) and Candidates with Disabilities (blind, deaf, mute, autistic, amputees, Down syndrome, dyslexia, ADHD, albinism, cerebral palsy, etc.) are exempted from the Post-UTME test, though they must register online and will be screened upon admission.

Can I combine WAEC and NECO (two sittings) to apply for Nursing or Law at UNILORIN?

Hello Damilola! According to Item A(xi) of the official UNILORIN notice, the strict one-sitting O'Level requirement applies to four courses: MB;BS, Pharmacy, Optometry & Vision Science, and Computer Engineering. However, note that in UNILORIN's 20% O'Level grading, one sitting carries a slight point advantage.
