ā ļø Critical Policies & Warnings
- O'Level Verification: Applicants must ensure their O'Level results are uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal. Failure to do so will result in an automatic rejection of the admission application, regardless of the Post-UTME score.
- Payment Security: All payments must be made through the university's generated RRR. Do not pay any individual or third-party agent claiming to have access to admission slots. UNILAG does not charge "processing fees" outside of the official ā¦2,000.
- JAMB CAPS: This screening does not exempt candidates from the mandatory JAMB CAPS admission process. Ensure your subject combinations align with the requirements for your chosen course of study.
