UNILAG Confirms Release of the 2026/2027 Post-UTME Result
The university’s Registrar, Mrs V. Abosede Wickliffe, announced that the 2026/2027 Post-UTME results are now available. Candidates are directed to the official result portal to check their scores.
The university also wished everyone good luck as the admission process moves forward.
With the results out, UNILAG’s 2026/2027 admission process moves to the next stage.
Candidates should now look out for updates on admission lists after the screening scores are combined with JAMB records.
How to Check Your UNILAG Post-UTME Result 2026/2027
You can check your score easily by following these steps:
- Visit the official UNILAG Post-UTME result portal at putmerescheck.unilag.edu.ng. Avoid other websites, as unofficial sites can mislead you or ask for payments you do not need to make.
- Type in your JAMB registration number as it appears on your UTME slip, along with any other login details you used during registration.
- Submit the form and wait for your result to appear.
- Check your score carefully, including any subject or section breakdown.
- Save and print a copy of your result page for your records, since you may need it during registration, clearance, or in case of a discrepancy that requires you to visit the admissions office.
If the portal is slow or not responding, it is likely because many people are trying to check their results at once.
Wait a bit and try again later instead of refreshing the page repeatedly, as this can make the problem worse.
What Your Post-UTME Score Actually Means
This is where many candidates get confused, so it deserves a clear explanation: your Post-UTME screening score is not, by itself, your admission outcome.
UNILAG typically combines your JAMB UTME score with your Post-UTME screening score (and in some cases your O’Level grades) to calculate an aggregate score used for ranking candidates within their chosen programme.
A strong Post-UTME score improves your position, but final admission also depends on the cut-off mark for your specific course, the number of available slots, and how you rank against other applicants competing for the same programme.
In summary, passing the screening is a good step, but it is just one part of the whole admission process, not the final result.
What to Do After Checking Your Result
- If your score is good for your chosen course, keep checking UNILAG’s official admission portal and JAMB CAPS for updates, Make sure your documents, such as O’Level results, JAMB result slip, birth certificate, and passport photos, are ready for verification.
- If your score is lower than you hoped: Don’t assume the worst immediately. Cut-off marks vary significantly by department, and some competitive courses require much higher aggregates than others. Consider whether a change of course or institution through JAMB’s change-of-course/institution window might improve your chances if admission doesn’t come through.
- If you see a mistake on your result, contact the university’s admissions office directly using official channels. Have your registration details ready for verification. Do not use third-party agents.
Staying Safe During the UNILAG Admission Season
When results are released, scammers often try to trick candidates with “guaranteed admission” offers or fake result upgrades.
Here are some tips to stay safe:
- UNILAG will never ask you to pay a private individual to “boost,” “correct,” or “release early” your Post-UTME result.
- Pay all legitimate fees strictly through official university payment channels, never to a personal bank account.
- Always enter the official portal address yourself instead of clicking on links from WhatsApp groups or social media. Fake websites are common during result periods.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Has the UNILAG Post-UTME result for 2026/2027 really been released?
Yes. The University of Lagos officially announced the release through a notice from its Registrar, directing candidates who sat the screening exercise to check their results on the official portal.
2. Where exactly can I check my UNILAG Post-UTME result?
Go to the university’s official result-checking portal at putmerescheck.unilag.edu.ng.
Use your JAMB registration number to log in and see your score.
3. Does a good Post-UTME score guarantee admission into UNILAG?
No. Your Post-UTME score is combined with your JAMB UTME score to form an aggregate score, and admission depends on how that aggregate compares with the cut-off mark and competition for your specific course.
4. What if I can’t access the result portal because of network issues?
This often happens right after results are released because many people are online at once.
Wait a bit before trying again, use a stable internet connection, and avoid refreshing the page too often, as this can slow things down for everyone.
5. I forgot the login details I used during Post-UTME registration. What should I do?
First, try using your JAMB registration number, as most portals use it as the main login.
If that does not work, contact UNILAG’s admissions office through official channels to recover your details.
6. My Post-UTME result doesn’t match what I expected. Can I request a re-check?
If you think there is a real mistake, contact the university’s admissions or examinations office directly with your registration details.
Do not use unofficial agents who say they can “fix” results for a fee.
7. When will the UNILAG 2026/2027 admission list be released?
There is no set date for the admission list yet.
Usually, the list comes out after Post-UTME results are combined with JAMB data and departments finish their quotas.
Keep checking UNILAG’s official portal and JAMB CAPS for updates.
8. Can I still get admitted if my score is below the department’s usual cut-off?
In some cases, you might still get admitted through supplementary admission rounds, by changing your course, or by changing your institution, but this is not guaranteed.
Watch for official announcements and have a backup plan.
9. Is the Post-UTME result the same as an admission letter?
No. A Post-UTME result only shows your screening score.
An admission letter is a separate document issued later, only to candidates formally offered a place, usually accessible through JAMB CAPS and the university’s own portal.
Yes, the university shares important updates on its official website and verified social media pages.
Always double-check any information you see elsewhere with the university’s official notices before taking action.

The release of the UNILAG Post-UTME result for 2026/2027 is an important step for anyone hoping to study at one of Nigeria’s top universities.
Check your score calmly on the official portal, keep in mind it is just one part of the admission process, and watch for more updates on the admission list.
