UNILAG Post-UTME Form 2026/2027: Eligibility
Before you pay a kobo, confirm you meet all five conditions UNILAG has set for this cycle:
- You selected University of Lagos as your first choice in the 2026 UTME.
- You scored 200 or above in the 2026 UTME.
- You have five credit passes in subjects relevant to your intended course, including English Language and Mathematics, obtained at one sitting.
- You will be at least 16 years old by 30 September 2026. Candidates who fall short of this age are not eligible and should not apply.
- You will use a personal, active email address to register, since this is UNILAG’s main channel for communicating with you during screening.
One condition trips up a lot of applicants: your O’Level result must be uploaded on both JAMB CAPS and the UNILAG application portal on or before Friday, 14 August 2026. Miss this and your admission consideration is affected, regardless of how well you do in the screening test.
Returning or previously withdrawn students should also note UNILAG’s policy: anyone whose past admission was withdrawn for poor academic performance or absenteeism can only reapply for a different programme from the one they were withdrawn from. Anyone previously expelled cannot get fresh admission.

UNILAG Post-UTME Screening Date and Test Format
Unlike some universities that only screen documents, UNILAG conducts a written online aptitude test, and skipping it means you won’t be considered for admission no matter your JAMB score.
- Mock examinations: Monday, 22 June – Sunday, 26 July 2026. Use this period to get comfortable with the test interface.
- Post-UTME Online Aptitude Test: Monday, 27 July – Friday, 31 July 2026.
The test covers your relevant subject combination based on your intended course, similar in structure to UTME itself, multiple choice, computer-based. For enquiries or technical issues, contact postutme@unilag.edu.ng or call 09053006772 / 08141656802.
UNILAG Post-UTME Past Questions: How to Prepare
UNILAG doesn’t publish an official past-questions bank, but the test format mirrors standard JAMB-style CBT screening. To prepare effectively:
- Revise your UTME subject combination for your course the Post-UTME draws from the same subjects.
- Practice on CBT apps designed for Post-UTME/JAMB practice so you’re used to the on-screen format, time pressure, and navigation before the real test.
- Focus on English Language and Mathematics fundamentals, since these are compulsory for nearly every course.
- Use the mock exam window (22 June – 26 July) seriously it is the closest thing to an official practice run UNILAG provides.
- Avoid sites or vendors claiming to sell “leaked” UNILAG past questions; the university’s screening format changes yearly and such materials are frequently inaccurate.
UNILAG Post-UTME Cut-Off Mark and Aggregate Score Formula
The general UTME cut-off mark for UNILAG is 200 this is the minimum to even register for screening. But scoring 200 only gets you in the door; admission is decided by your aggregate score, ranked against everyone else applying for the same course.
UNILAG’s aggregate formula:
Aggregate = (JAMB Score ÷ 8) + (Post-UTME Score ÷ 2)
- Your JAMB score (out of 400) is divided by 8, giving a maximum of 50 points.
- Your Post-UTME score (out of 100) is divided by 2, giving a maximum of 50 points.
- Add both for a final aggregate out of 100.
Example: A JAMB score of 280 + a Post-UTME score of 80 = (280/8) + (80/2) = 35 + 40 = 75 aggregate.
Departmental cut-off marks (the minimum aggregate needed per course) are released after screening and vary widely by demand:
- Medicine, Law, Pharmacy: historically the most competitive, often requiring aggregates in the 70s-80s and JAMB scores well above 200. [VERIFY exact 2026/2027 departmental cut-offs once UNILAG publishes them post-screening]
- Engineering and Computer Science: consistently competitive, with aggregates that punish a weak Post-UTME score even if your JAMB score is strong.
- Arts, Education, and less competitive Social Science courses: generally lower thresholds, though still above the 200 baseline.
A high JAMB score alone will not save you many candidates with strong UTME scores lose their slot to candidates who simply performed better on the Post-UTME test. Treat both halves of the formula as equally important.
How to Check Your UNILAG Post-UTME Result
Once UNILAG releases results typically a few weeks after the screening exercise:
- Visit the official result portal: putmeresult.unilag.edu.ng.
- Enter your JAMB registration number.
- Submit to view your Post-UTME score.
Checking your result is free. If your score shows as zero or blank, it usually means an error or an invalidated attempt contact the Post-UTME helpline rather than assuming the worst. After checking your score, calculate your aggregate using the formula above and compare it against your course’s typical cut-off to gauge your chances, then monitor both the UNILAG portal and JAMB CAPS for your admission status.
