Who is eligible for UI Post-UTME registration?

UTME candidates who scored 200 and above in the 2026 UTME are eligible to register for the UI Post-UTME examination.

A candidate below 200 is outside the stated eligibility mark for this admission exercise, so the registration process should be started only after the UTME score has been confirmed.

Candidates are required to log in to the UI admission portal with their JAMB Registration Number as username and surname as the initial password.

For example, a JAMB Registration Number such as 202412345678EG will be used as the username, while a surname such as OYESANMI, CHIBUZOR or UMAR will be used as the first password.

The login details should be entered carefully, since errors in the JAMB Registration Number or surname may delay access to the portal.

Candidates are required to pay a portal access fee of N3,000.00 and a screening fee of N2,000.00 through the admission portal, in favour of the University of Ibadan.
