Yes. It’s that serious.

UNILAG is not just any university. It is one of the most competitive schools in Nigeria. It has thousands of students that are ambitious like you, and students who are competing for a few thousand slots. Over 60,000 applicants had offered admission to fewer than 10,000 seats in 2024. Probably you could guess how it would be like in 2025!

So, before you rush off to fill that form, read this to the end, because what you don’t know can cost you your admission.

Now it is time to discuss the main thing, portal itself.

The right and official link to apply and take the UNILAG Post UTME 2025 is:

https://putme.unilag.edu.ng

Please bookmark it. Avoid fake links or blogs that redirect you to spammy pages. If it doesn’t begin with “https://putme.unilag.edu.ng”, it’s not legit.

How to Make Use of the UNILAG Post UTME Portal Smoothly

Once you click the portal link:

1. You’ll land on a homepage asking you to log in with your JAMB registration number.

2. Once logged in, the system automatically fetches your basic JAMB data.

3. You’ll then be prompted to make a payment before you can proceed with the application form.

Sounds simple? It is, if you’re not careless.

Tech Tips to Avoid Portal Issues

1. Use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, other browsers may load the site incorrectly.

2. Enable JavaScript on your browser.

3. Avoid cyber cafés with unstable internet; it can cause payment failures.

4. Don’t use your phone if you’re not so good at tech, go to a trusted café.

5. Always screenshot every step, especially the confirmation page.

Common Mistakes You Should Avoid

1. Entering the wrong JAMB registration number.

2. Paying twice due to network delay.

3. Using fake emails or inaccessible Gmail accounts.

4. Clicking “Submit” more than once (the portal may deduct funds twice).

Bear in mind that UNILAG hardly entertains a second chance when it comes to these mistakes during registration.

Don’t just “read.” Simulate real exam pressure. Set a timer and attempt full tests daily. That mental speed makes the difference.

4. Focus on UNILAG-Specific Topics

UNILAG likes to test questions on:

• Lagos landmarks
• History of UNILAG
• Logical reasoning and syllogisms

No one wins the game tired. Sleep very well the night before your exam. Eat right. Take your slip, be there early and be calm during the exam.
