  1. Okay thanks for this information, but then I still need clarification on this. I am a Jupeb student who also wrote JAMB this although I am not done with the program, our exams commences July and will be ending first week of August, so I want to know for Unilag, is it the Post-utme form I will get? Since I am not done with the direct entry program, there’s where I am confused

    • Good luck with your JUPEB exam!

      Meanwhile, once the UNILAG Direct Entry form is available, you can obtain the form and apply, provided you applied for Direct Entry through JAMB and selected UNILAG as your first choice.

      However, if you registered for UTME instead of Direct Entry through JAMB, you can only obtain the UNILAG Post UTME screening form.

      Alternatively, you can convert your UTME profile to Direct Entry to enable you to purchase the UNILAG Direct Entry form.

      For more information, please schedule a call to speak with our agent via WhatsApp.

      I wish you the best.
