Is the UNILORIN Admission List 2026/2027 Out?
No.
As of today, the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has not officially released the 2026/2027 undergraduate admission list.
The university has, however, completed its 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening exercise. The screening for UTME and Direct Entry candidates was held from Thursday, August 13 to Saturday, August 15, 2026.
UNILORIN is now proceeding with the admission process. On August 23, the university’s Admissions Committee assured candidates that those who merit admission would be offered admission and stated that all new students expected to resume for the 2026/2027 session would have been offered admission before October 5, 2026.
Therefore, candidates should continue checking both the UNILORIN admission portal and JAMB CAPS for their individual admission status.
