Meeting the cut-off does not guarantee admission. Post-UTME score and O'Level grades are also weighted.
What to know this cycle
2026/2027 screening — dates not yet announced: UNN's own registry confirms the minimum UTME score to register for Post-UTME has been 180 for the last three sessions (not a flat 200 as sometimes reported) — this is an eligibility floor only; actual departmental cut-offs are set higher and confirmed after screening.
Not yet announced for 2026/2027:
- Post-UTME screening date/window
- Admission list release date
- O'Level upload deadline (specific to UNN's portal)
For context, the most recent cycle (2025/2026) opened registration in mid-2025 and closed August 15, 2025, though this was later extended to September 7, 2025 — UNN has a pattern of extending deadlines, so candidates should not plan around an initial date holding firm. That cycle's screening was conducted via verified JAMB/O-Level/Direct Entry document assessment rather than a written CBT exam, a change from UNN's traditional CBT format; whether the 2026/2027 cycle repeats this or returns to CBT is unconfirmed.
Standard requirement across cycles: O-Level results must be uploaded and verified on JAMB CAPS before consideration; failure to do so results in automatic disqualification regardless of screening performance.
