The University of Lagos has released the results of its 2026/2027 Post-UTME Screening Exercise. The release was announced on Friday, August 7, 2026, in a notice signed by the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Mrs V. Abosede Wickliffe, and candidates are directed to check their individual scores at the official result portal, putmerescheck.unilag.edu.ng. A good Post-UTME score does not by itself confirm admission — it is combined with your JAMB score to form your aggregate, which is then measured against your department’s cut-off mark.

Background: The 2026/2027 UNILAG Post-UTME Exercise
This result covers candidates who sat the University of Lagos Post-UTME Screening Exercise for admission into all undergraduate courses for the 2026/2027 academic session. Registration for the exercise ran from Monday, June 15 to Wednesday, July 8, 2026, and only candidates who scored at least 200 in the 2026 UTME and chose UNILAG as their first choice were eligible. The Post-UTME Online Aptitude Test itself held from Monday, July 27 to Friday, July 31, 2026, following a mock examination window that ran from June 22 to July 26.
UNILAG is one of Nigeria’s most subscribed federal universities, and competition for spaces in courses like Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, and Engineering remains intense — meeting the 200 minimum only makes a candidate eligible to sit the screening, not guaranteed admission.
How to Check Your UNILAG Post-UTME Result
- Go to the official result portal at putmerescheck.unilag.edu.ng. Do not use any other site — UNILAG has repeatedly warned that third-party “checker” pages are not authorised.
- Enter your JAMB registration number and any other login details requested on the page.
- Submit the form to bring up your screening result.
- Save or print your result immediately. You will need a copy for later stages of the admission process, and portals can experience downtime as traffic spikes.
If the portal returns no record or a mismatched result, double-check your JAMB registration number for typing errors before reaching out to UNILAG’s Post-UTME support desk at postutme@unilag.edu.ng or by phone on 09053006772 / 08141656802.
What Your Result Actually Means
Your Post-UTME score on its own is not a pass or fail outcome. UNILAG combines it with your JAMB UTME score and your O’Level grades to calculate an aggregate, which is then weighed against the cut-off mark set for your specific department:
| Factor | Role in Admission |
|---|---|
| JAMB UTME Score | Combined with your Post-UTME score to form your aggregate |
| Post-UTME Screening Score | Reflects your readiness for your chosen course |
| O’Level Grades | Factored into the final aggregate for most courses |
| Aggregate Score | Compared against your department’s specific cut-off mark |
| Available Spaces | Limits how many candidates per department are admitted, even above cut-off |
Because of this, two candidates with identical Post-UTME scores can end up with very different admission outcomes depending on their JAMB score, O’Level grades, and how competitive their chosen department is. For the exact aggregate weighting and departmental cut-off figures, see our full UNILAG JAMB Cut-Off Mark breakdown linked below.
What to Do After Checking Your Result
- Work out your likely aggregate using your JAMB score, Post-UTME score, and O’Level grades, and compare it with your department’s published cut-off.
- Upload your O’Level result on both the UNILAG portal and JAMB CAPS before the Friday, August 14, 2026 deadline — candidates who miss this will not be considered for admission regardless of their score.
- Monitor both the UNILAG admission portal and JAMB CAPS regularly, since admission lists are typically released in batches rather than all at once.
- If admitted, accept your offer promptly through JAMB CAPS and follow UNILAG’s instructions on acceptance fee payment and document upload.
- If your aggregate falls short of your first-choice department, consider whether a change-of-course or change-of-institution request through JAMB CAPS is realistic based on where your score does qualify.
