UNILAG Announces 2026/2027 Post-UTME Screening: Key Dates and Requirements
"The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has officially released the schedule for the 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening exercise, with registration set to commence on Monday, June 15, 2026."
Official Announcement
The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has formally announced the commencement of its Post-UTME screening registration for the 2026/2027 academic session. According to an official statement released by the institution’s communication department, the portal for online registration will be active from Monday, June 15, 2026, through Wednesday, July 8, 2026. This process is mandatory for all prospective undergraduate candidates who selected the university as their first choice.
Critical Implications
For thousands of candidates, this announcement marks the start of a highly competitive admission phase. The university has set a strict cutoff mark of 200 for eligibility. Applicants must note that meeting the UTME score is only the first step; candidates are also required to present five O'level credit passes in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, at a single sitting. The total cost associated with the application, comprising the screening fee of N2,000 and the administrative application fee of N3,500, must be processed through the university’s designated payment portal to avoid scams.
What Applicants Must Know
The University Registrar has emphasized the necessity of accuracy during the registration process. 'Candidates are strictly advised to ensure that their O'level results are uploaded correctly on the JAMB CAPS portal. Any discrepancy in personal data or result details may lead to automatic disqualification,' the Registrar stated in a recent press briefing. Furthermore, candidates are warned against utilizing third-party registration centers that charge exorbitant fees, as the official process is designed to be seamless via the UNILAG admissions website.
Public Reactions & X (Twitter) Pulses
Social media has been abuzz since the news broke. On X (formerly Twitter), students and parents have expressed mixed feelings ranging from excitement to anxiety. User @Chidi_Campus posted, 'Finally, the wait is over! Time to start the intensive reading for the screening exam.' Conversely, @Femi_Tech warned, 'Candidates should be careful of fake links circulating on WhatsApp. Always stick to the .edu.ng URL to be safe.' Local campus influencers are already organizing virtual study groups to help prospective students prepare for the potential Computer Based Test (CBT) that often follows the registration phase.
Final Preparation Tips
Applicants are encouraged to visit the official admission office website regularly for updates regarding examination dates and specific venue requirements. Preparing your documents early and verifying payment receipts will ensure a stress-free admission process as UNILAG continues its tradition of academic excellence.
