The University of Ilesha (UNILESHA), Osun State, has officially opened its doors for the 2025/2026 Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening exercise. This announcement is essential for all candidates who chose UNILESHA as their institution of first choice in the last UTME or are planning to change to the university.
Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the requirements, cut-off marks, application procedure, and the crucial deadline.
Key Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for the UNILESHA Post-UTME screening, candidates must meet the following mandatory requirements:
1. JAMB Score and Choice of Institution
- Minimum UTME Score: Candidates must have scored a minimum of 160 in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
- Highly Competitive Courses: Note that highly competitive programmes like Nursing Science, Medical Laboratory Science, and Law may require a minimum score of 200 or higher.
- First Choice: Candidates must have chosen the University of Ilesha as their FIRST CHOICE institution.
- Change of Institution: Candidates who did not initially choose UNILESHA but scored 160 or above are eligible to apply but must first effect a Change of Institution to UNILESHA on the JAMB CAPS portal.
2. O’Level Requirements
- Candidates must possess at least five (5) credit passes in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in not more than two (2) sittings from WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or their equivalent.

3. Age Requirement

Important Deadline and Screening Details
Application Closing Date
- The deadline for the Post-UTME/Direct Entry online registration is Thursday, October 30, 2025. Candidates are advised to complete their registration well before this date to avoid last-minute complications.
Nature of Screening
- As of the current announcement, UNILESHA will conduct a non-physical, online screening based on the candidates’ UTME scores and O’Level grades.
- There will typically NOT be a written Post-UTME examination. Instead, admission will be determined by an aggregate score calculated from your JAMB score and O’Level points.
Final Alert: JAMB CAPS Upload
It is MANDATORY that all candidates (UTME and DE) upload their O’Level results directly onto the JAMB CAPS portal. Failure to do this will disqualify you from admission, regardless of your score on the UNILESHA portal.
Action Point: After applying, regularly check the UNILESHA official website and your JAMB CAPS for updates regarding the release of the admission list.
