University of Ilesa (UNILESA) Post-UTME & Direct Entry 2025/2026: Cut-Off Marks, Eligibility & Registration Guide


If you’re aspiring to gain admission into University of Ilesa for the 2025/2026 academic session, this article breaks down what you need—cut-off scores, eligibility requirements, registration steps, and tips to increase your chance of success.


Cut-Off Mark Requirements

  • The minimum UTME score to be eligible for admission screening is 160 for most programmes.
  • More competitive programmes (such as in Science, Engineering, or Health-related fields) often require higher scores than the baseline.
  • Direct Entry applicants must meet the additional academic criteria and score thresholds set for DE entry.

Who Is Eligible

You must meet all the following conditions:

  • Have selected University of Ilesa as your first choice institution in UTME; or change to it before the Post-UTME registration deadline.
  • Score at least 160 in UTME (or higher for your specific course).
  • Have at least five credit passes in relevant O’Level subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings.
  • Direct Entry candidates must possess valid qualifications (ND, NCE, A-Level, or equivalents) with acceptable grades.

Registration Steps & Screening Fee

Here’s how to register correctly:

  1. Confirm you meet eligibility (UTME score, O’Level results).
  2. Pay the screening fee prescribed for UNILESA.
  3. Complete the online application form, making sure personal and academic information are accurate.
  4. Upload required documents: O’Level results, UTME/DE credentials, and a recent passport photograph.
  5. Submit the application and save or print your acknowledgment slip for future reference.

Important Deadlines & Notes

  • Registration is only valid within the officially announced window—start and end dates must be strictly observed.
  • Make sure your O’Level results are uploaded to JAMB CAPS before the screening or admission exercise to avoid disqualification.
  • Courses with higher demand often use stricter screening, so aim above the minimum score.

Useful Applicant Tip

Many candidates overlook the importance of confirming their result status on JAMB CAPS after uploading their O’Level results. At UNILESA, admission consideration for many programmes depends on having “Approved” or “Cleared” status; delays often happen because results remain unverified.
