The wait is over. The UNILAG Post UTME Result 2026 is officially out, and candidates who sat for the University of Lagos Post-UTME Screening Exercise for the 2026/2027 academic session can now check their scores online. If you wrote the screening test, here’s everything you need to know; from the official announcement to a simple step-by-step checking process and answers to all your questions.
Official Announcement
The University of Lagos announced the release of the UNILAG Post UTME Result 2026 on Friday, August 7, 2026, in a notice signed by the Registrar and Secretary to Council, Mrs V. Abosede Wickliffe. The notice confirmed that all candidates who participated in the 2026/2027 Post-UTME Screening Exercise can now access their results on the official portal.
This release follows weeks of anticipation after the online aptitude test, which held from July 27 to July 31, 2026. Candidates sat a 30-minute, remotely proctored online exam, and the result now reflects each candidate’s performance in that exercise.
It’s worth understanding that this result is not the final admission decision. It’s one part of the criteria UNILAG uses, alongside your UTME score, O’Level results, and available spaces in your chosen course, to determine admission. A strong score improves your chances significantly but does not guarantee a spot on its own.

Checking is straightforward if you follow these steps:
- Visit the official portal. Go to UNILAG OFFICIAL RESULT CHECKING PORTAL . Avoid third-party sites claiming to check results for you.

- Upload your O’Level results. UNILAG has reminded candidates to upload WAEC, GCE, NECO, or Cambridge O’Level results on both JAMB CAPS and the UNILAG portal by August 14, 2026. This deadline matters, so don’t delay. How to Check 2026 WAEC Result in simple steps
