UNILAG Extends Post-UTME Registration: New Deadline, Requirements, and What You Must Know
In a crucial lifeline to thousands of UTME candidates, the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has extended its Post-UTME registration deadline for the 2025/2026 academic session.
Originally slated to close on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, the registration portal will now remain open until Saturday, August 23, 2025 — giving candidates three extra days to complete their applications.

For many, this short window could be the difference between securing a shot at admission or missing out entirely.
