UNILAG Admission Requirements

If you are interested in applying to study at the University of Lagos at the undergraduate level, you need to meet the admission requirements. This depends on the mode of entry you choose: DE or UTME. UTME candidates are those who apply using their JAMB results while Direct Entry candidates are those who want to apply for admission using previous qualifications. See below for details of the requirements:-

UTME Requirements

• Candidates must ensure that UNILAG was selected as their first or most preferred choice during the JAMB registration process. Those who did not can still apply for the UNILAG Post-UTME Form by applying for a change of institution through JAMB.
• All candidates must score a minimum of 200 in the recent JAMB exams to be eligible for admission.
• Candidates must have O’level certificates with at least credits in five relevant subjects including English Language and Mathematics. These must not be obtained in more than two sittings.
• Candidates are required to participate in the UNILAG Post-UTME screening as part of the admission process.
• Candidates must be at least 16 years old at the time of admission.

Direct Entry Candidates

• Just like UTME candidates, direct entry applicants must have five (5) credits in their SSCE or GCE, including English Language, Mathematics, and three other relevant subjects, in no more than two sittings.
• Applicants with A’Level or IJMB passes in two subjects that are closely related to their intended course of study can apply for admission.
• Candidates who have first-class or second-class Upper degrees in a related discipline are eligible to apply for admission.
• Those with a Merit Pass in the NCE, National Diploma (ND), or other advanced-level certifications can apply.
• Direct Entry candidates must apply through both the JAMB and UNILAG portals.

If you meet these requirements as an undergraduate applicant, you can proceed to apply for admission when the UNILAG post-UTME Form is out.
