The Deputy Vice Chancellor explained that the admission process at the University of Ilorin commenced immediately after the screening and stressed the need for candidates to frequently monitor their JAMB CAPS portals in order to promptly accept admission offers once recommended.
She stated that the University remains committed to following JAMBโs directives strictly, in line with its tradition of compliance with regulatory guidelines, adding that candidates who see their names on JAMB CAPS had been offered admission through the recommendation of the University.
Prof. Bakare-Odunola said that the exercise provided an opportunity for parents who accompanied their children to observe the University environment first-hand, noted that many parents commended the high level of discipline, organisation, and care demonstrated by staff. She added that even candidates who required medical attention were well attended to before being allowed to complete their examinations.
While reflecting on the processes, the Deputy Vice Chancellor described the four-day exercise, which commenced on Thursday, August 28, 2025, and ended on Thursday, September 4, 2025, as highly successful. She praised the discipline of both supervisors and candidates, noting that examinations started as scheduled at 8 a.m. each day and were concluded on time.
She further revealed that a mop-up session was organised for candidates who missed their scheduled examinations due to illness, lateness, or other challenges. โWe were able to attend to them before resuming with the final dayโs scheduled candidates. After this exercise, we will review cases of candidates who, for reasons best known to them, did not show up,โ she added.
The Deputy Vice Chancellor, however, expressed gratitude to God for the hitch-free conduct of the exercise and reaffirmed the Universityโs commitment to due process and excellence in its admission procedures.
On his part, the Director of the Unilorin Directorate of Computer-Based Test (CBT) Centre, Prof. Kamilu Rauf, attributed the seamless conduct of the exercise to the provision of modern facilities and strong administrative support.

Prof. Rauf said, โWe are impressed with the turnout of candidates for this yearโs Post-UTME. For the underage category, 30 candidates were expected, 29 sat the examination while only one was absent. On Day One, out of 6,999 candidates scheduled, 6,540 were present while 459 were absent. On Day Two, 7,016 candidates were expected, 6,676 sat while 340 were absent. Similarly, on Day Three, 6,982 candidates were expected, 6,584 were present while 398 were absent. For Day Four, a total of 824 candidates were expected but 761 turned up while 63 were absent.
Prof. Rauf explained that the University deployed upgraded state-of-the-art computers and ensured a stable, high-speed internet connection throughout the period, which prevented any technical glitches. He said, โUnilorin will never use anything that could embarrass the administration. Our computers were upgraded to ensure efficiency, and the internet service was very stable and superb throughout the entire exercise. That was why there was no single hitch.โ
The CBT Director further expressed appreciation to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, SAN, and his management team for their consistent support and responsiveness to the needs of the Centre. According to him, the administrationโs proactive approach was central to the success of this yearโs Post-UTME screening exercise.
He also commended the conduct of candidates, describing them as disciplined and orderly, while also acknowledging the professionalism of the invigilators, security personnel, and health workers who were diligent and efficient in their duties.
