UI Post-UTME 2026/27: Official Status and Admission Guide

The University of Ibadan (UI) publishes its undergraduate admission information through its official website and admissions portal. For the 2026/2027 cycle, UI provided a specific registration period, payment route, eligibility information, and examination schedule. Candidates should rely on the current UI notice, not a reused social-media flyer or an agent’s link.

Verified 2026/2027 timeline

UI’s official 2026/2027 Post-UTME/Direct Entry notice opened registration from Monday, 22 June to Sunday, 19 July 2026 and said there would be no extension. It scheduled the Post-UTME examination for Monday, 27 to Wednesday, 29 July 2026. Because those dates are over, prospective candidates should wait for a new official call before assuming another registration window is open.

Official portal and 2026/27 payment context

For the 2026/2027 exercise, UI instructed eligible candidates to log in to the UI Undergraduate Admissions Portal with the JAMB registration number and surname as the initial password. The university notice specified a portal-access fee of ₦3,000 and a screening fee of ₦2,000, paid through the admission portal. These were the published terms for that named cycle; do not pay those amounts to any personal bank account or third-party link, and confirm a fresh notice before paying for a future session.

What candidates should verify on the official UI notice

• The active admission or result status for your own JAMB registration number.
• Whether a new Post-UTME or Direct Entry announcement has been published for a later cycle.
• Current academic and age requirements. For the 2026/27 exercise, UI said candidates had to be 16 by 30 September 2026 and published programme-specific O-level information.
• Valid contact details and any communication issued in the official portal or official UI notice.

Safe admission checks

1. Read the full UI 2026/2027 Post-UTME/Direct Entry notice before relying on a summary.
2. Use the official UI Undergraduate Admissions Portal for legitimate candidate access.
3. Do not share portal credentials, JAMB details, payment evidence, or result information with an agent promising an upgrade, a score change, or guaranteed admission.
4. For later sessions, wait for a new notice on the official UI website before paying, registering, or travelling for a screening exercise.

How to prepare for the next UI cycle

The 2026/2027 registration and screening dates have passed, so the sensible step now is to prepare for a future call rather than act on an old flyer. If UI is your goal, keep your JAMB registration number and surname handy, since the portal uses them for initial access, and make sure the contact details on your JAMB profile are correct and ones you can reach. Get your O’level results, JAMB result slip, and age documentation in order, because UI publishes programme-specific O’level requirements and an age rule for each cycle. Set aside the portal-access and screening fees so you can pay promptly through the official portal when a window opens. Preparing early means you register within the stated dates instead of missing a window that UI says will not be extended.

How to verify a genuine UI notice

Because admission season brings a flood of reused flyers and fake links, confirm everything against the official UI source. A real Post-UTME or Direct Entry call appears on the University of Ibadan official website and its undergraduate admissions portal, with specific registration dates, fees, eligibility, and an examination schedule for a named session. Pay the stated fees only through the official admission portal, never into a personal bank account or a third-party link. Do not share your JAMB details, portal credentials, payment evidence, or results with anyone promising an upgrade, a score change, or guaranteed admission. For any later session, wait for a fresh official notice before paying, registering, or travelling for screening.
