So, UNILORIN has kicked off its screening process for the 2025/2026 academic session. If you’re aiming for a seat in one of Nigeria’s most competitive federal universities, now’s your window. And yes, there’s a deadline — 24 August 2025. Miss it and you’re out.
Let’s break it down the way you’d want your older cousin to explain it — no grammar, no lectures, just the meat.
First, a Warning
If you fill anything wrong, that’s on you. No excuses. No second chances. Wrong entries = disqualification. UNILORIN won’t clean up your mistakes.
How They’ll Score You
Admission is based on:
- 50% UTME or Direct Entry score
- 30% Post-UTME screening
- 20% from five O’Level subjects (the relevant ones, not random picks)
It’s a tight blend, so each part counts.
Registration Timeline
- Opens: Monday, 28 July 2025
- Closes: Midnight, Sunday, 17 August 2025
Don’t play the deadline game. Too many people get locked out last minute.
What You Must Do Before Starting
- Get a working email. Yours, not your mum’s or uncle’s.
- Use your own phone number.
- Make sure your O’Level or A’Level results are already uploaded on JAMB CAPS. If you’re still waiting for results, select ‘AR’ (Awaiting Result) during registration.
- If you want to change your course, do it only on JAMB CAPS. UNILORIN won’t process changes made on its own portal.
How to Apply
- Go to the UNILORIN undergraduate portal
- Click Pre-admission Screening Registration
- Enter your JAMB reg number and surname
- Hit Get Details
- Fill in your results (O’Level or A’Level), or select ‘AR’ if you’re awaiting results
- Pay the ₦2,000 registration fee via Remita (use your ATM card)
Important:
Don’t refresh your browser during payment. If you’re unsure it went through, wait a bit. Check for debit alerts or just try again later.
- After paying, go back to the portal
- Click Admission Login
- Enter your JAMB reg number and surname
- Complete your details, check everything twice
- Click Submit
Print your slip. Make sure the info displays correctly. If anything looks off, fix it or report it. Mistakes left unattended can mess up your chances.
Special Note on Some Courses
If you’re going for any of these:
- MBBS
- Pharmacy
- Optometry & Vision Science
- Computer Engineering
You must upload results from one sitting only. No combining results. Don’t say nobody warned you.
What About Direct Entry Candidates?
Same steps apply. Only extra bit: choose your highest qualification from the list during registration. Don’t skip it.
If you just switched from UTME to DE, make sure JAMB CAPS reflects that before you start your registration here.
Final Words? Don’t Lie
If your results don’t match what’s on JAMB CAPS or if you make stuff up, that’s automatic disqualification. Doesn’t matter if you’re already on the merit list. They’ll yank your admission.
