applicants must have scored <strong>160 or above in the 2026 UTME<\/strong>. They must also make the University of Ilesa their first-choice institution. Candidates who originally selected another university but now want UNILESA must complete a change of institution through JAMB before applying.<\/p>\n<p>Direct Entry candidates must hold a relevant qualification that can support admission into 200 level. They must complete the university screening application and also follow the applicable JAMB Direct Entry admission process.<\/p>\n<p>Every applicant must be at least 16 years old by 30 September 2026. The university also requires at least five relevant O&#8217;Level credit passes obtained in no more than two sittings. Accepted examinations listed by UNILESA include WASSCE, NECO, NABTEB and the Senior Arabic and Islamic Secondary School Certificate Examination where applicable.<\/p>\n<p>Meeting the general score does not automatically guarantee admission. Candidates must satisfy the correct O&#8217;Level subjects and UTME subject combination for their chosen programme. Competitive courses may also require stronger performance than the university-wide minimum.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Courses_Available_at_the_University_of_Ilesa\"><\/span>Courses Available at the University of Ilesa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The official notice lists programmes across health sciences, education, arts, law, management, social sciences and computing. Prominent options include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nursing Science<\/li>\n<li>Anatomy and Physiology<\/li>\n<li>Health Information Management<\/li>\n<li>Radiography and Radiation Science<\/li>\n<li>Medical Laboratory Science<\/li>\n<li>Public Health<\/li>\n<li>Law, including Common and Islamic Law<\/li>\n<li>Accounting, Business Administration and Economics<\/li>\n<li>Computer Science, Cybersecurity and Software Engineering<\/li>\n<li>English Language, History, Linguistics and Music<\/li>\n<li>Education programmes in sciences, arts, management and social sciences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Applicants should confirm the full current programme list on the official screening page before paying. They should also compare their JAMB course, UTME subjects and O&#8217;Level credits with the requirements for that programme.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Apply_for_UNILESA_Post-UTME\"><\/span>How to Apply for UNILESA Post-UTME<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Visit the official <a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.unilesa.edu.ng\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UNILESA admissions portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Read the screening instructions and create or access your applicant account.<\/li>\n<li>Enter your JAMB registration number and other requested personal details accurately.<\/li>\n<li>Select the appropriate UTME or Direct Entry application route.<\/li>\n<li>Pay the non-refundable \u20a62,000 screening fee using the payment method displayed inside the official portal.<\/li>\n<li>Complete the form with your O&#8217;Level, UTME or Direct Entry information.<\/li>\n<li>Upload clear copies of the requested documents.<\/li>\n<li>Review every field, submit the application and print the acknowledgement or screening slip.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Do not begin payment from a bank account number sent by an unknown person. The university says payment must be made through its dedicated channel shown on the portal and that cash payments are not accepted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents_to_Prepare\"><\/span>Documents to Prepare<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The exact upload fields should be confirmed inside the portal, but candidates should prepare their JAMB result slip, O&#8217;Level result, recent passport photograph, birth certificate or age declaration and evidence of any relevant Direct Entry qualification. Ensure scans are readable and names agree across documents.<\/p>\n<p>If you used awaiting result during JAMB registration, confirm that the released result is uploaded to JAMB CAPS. An application submitted to a university does not replace the requirement for JAMB to have the candidate&#8217;s valid result.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Checks_Before_Submission\"><\/span>Important Checks Before Submission<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Confirm_your_institution_choice\"><\/span>Confirm your institution choice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>UNILESA must be your first choice. Complete any change on JAMB&#8217;s official platform early enough for the updated information to reflect before final submission.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_subject_requirements\"><\/span>Check subject requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A score of 160 is only the general starting point. For example, health and science courses require specific science subjects, while law and arts programmes have their own combinations. Applying with the wrong combination may make a candidate ineligible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_consistent_names\"><\/span>Use consistent names<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your name, date of birth and other details should agree across JAMB and academic documents. Do not invent information to make the form pass validation. UNILESA warns that falsification leads to disqualification.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retain_proof_of_payment\"><\/span>Retain proof of payment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Save the receipt, application slip and transaction reference. If the portal delays after payment, avoid paying twice immediately. First verify the transaction and contact official support where necessary.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Direct_Entry_Applicants\"><\/span>Direct Entry Applicants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Direct Entry candidates are not exempt from the university screening. They should ensure their previous qualification is relevant to the intended degree and that required records are available through JAMB. Apply through both the JAMB admission channel and the UNILESA portal as directed.<\/p>\n<p>Because entry into 200 level depends on the specific qualification and programme, candidates should not assume that every diploma, NCE or A&#8217;Level result is accepted for every course. Confirm the departmental requirement before payment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_Admission_Scams\"><\/span>Avoid Admission Scams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The University of Ilesa states that it has no admission consultants or agents. Applicants should apply only through the official portal and should not pay anyone who promises guaranteed admission, a higher screening score or placement into a competitive course.<\/p>\n<p>Use website addresses ending in the official university domain, keep login details private and do not disclose one-time payment codes. Official enquiries can be directed to admissions@unilesa.edu.ng or the admissions telephone numbers published by the university.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_UNILESA_Post-UTME_form_for_20262027_out\"><\/span>Is the UNILESA Post-UTME form for 2026\/2027 out?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes.
