If you have been waiting to apply for the UNIMED Post UTME Form, the window is now open. The University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED), Ondo State, has officially opened its admission portal for the 2026/2027 academic session, and this guide covers everything you need to complete your registration without stress or errors.
This is not a summarised version of what others are saying. Every detail here comes directly from the official UNIMED portal at unimed.edu.ng and the official Myschool.ng admission bulletin. Read it fully before you touch the portal.
What Is UNIMED and Why Does It Stand Out?
The University of Medical Sciences, Ondo (UNIMED) is not your typical Nigerian university. It is the first specialized Medical and Health Sciences institution in West Africa and the first of its kind in Nigeria to receive full accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC).
Established in 2014 by the Ondo State Government, UNIMED has built a strong track record over the last decade, a stable academic calendar, consistent service delivery, and focused training in health and medical sciences.
According to the NUC’s own ranking, UNIMED sits 1st among all Ondo State-owned universities, 2nd among all public and private universities in Ondo State, 4th among state-owned universities in Nigeria, and 19th overall among all universities in Nigeria. These are not small achievements for a state university under 15 years old.
If your ambition is a career in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, medical laboratory science, physiotherapy, or any allied health discipline, the UNIMED Post UTME Form is one you should take seriously.
Is the UNIMED Post UTME Form 2026/2027 Out?
Yes. The UNIMED Post UTME Form for the 2026/2027 academic session is now out and available on the official portal. The university has confirmed that Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening is open for all suitably qualified candidates.
Official Post UTME Portal: www.unimed.edu.ng/postutme
Do not register through any unofficial agent, website, or third party. UNIMED’s payment platform is the only accepted channel for fees.
Courses Available for the 2026/2027 Session
Before you apply for the UNIMED Post UTME Form, confirm that your intended course is available. UNIMED runs a focused set of programmes across its medical and health faculties.
The table below shows the full list, taken directly from the official UNIMED programmes portal:
| Faculty | Available Courses |
|---|---|
| Clinical Sciences | Medicine and Surgery |
| Dental Sciences | Dentistry, Dental Therapy, Dental Technology |
| Pharmacy | Doctor of Pharmacy |
| Medical Rehabilitation | Doctor of Physiotherapy, Prosthetics and Orthotics, Audiology, Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language Therapy |

| School of Public Health | Community Health Science, Environmental Health Science |
UNIMED is exclusively focused on medical, health, and science programmes. There are no courses in Law, Mass Communication, Business Administration, or Social Sciences. If you are looking for those, UNIMED is not the right institution.
UNIMED Post UTME Cut-Off Mark 2026/2027
The general JAMB cut-off mark for the UNIMED Post UTME Form 2026/2027 is 150. Any candidate who scored 150 and above in the 2026 UTME and chose UNIMED as their first choice is eligible to apply.
However, scoring 150 is only the entry point, not a guarantee of admission. Given how competitive UNIMED’s medical programmes are, particularly Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry, and Doctor of Pharmacy, candidates who score near the minimum are unlikely to secure those spots. Aim significantly higher.
| Programme Category | Recommended JAMB Score | Special O’Level Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Medicine and Surgery | 250+ | Five credits in one sitting only |
| Dentistry | 220+ | Five credits in one sitting only |
| Doctor of Physiotherapy | 200+ | Five credits in one sitting only |
| Doctor of Pharmacy | 200+ | Two sittings accepted |
| Nursing Science | 180+ | Two sittings accepted |
| Allied Health Sciences | 160–180 | Two sittings accepted |
| Sciences / Public Health | 150–170 | Two sittings accepted |
Important: For Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry, and Doctor of Physiotherapy specifically, the required five O’Level credits must all come from one sitting. Two sittings are not accepted for these three programmes.

How to Apply for the UNIMED Post UTME Form 2026/2027
The entire application process is online. There are no physical forms to collect and no need to visit the campus to register. Follow these steps exactly:
Step 1: Visit the Official Portal
Go to https://www.unimed.edu.ng/portal/paymentupnew.php: this is the only official portal for the UNIMED Post UTME Form. Do not use any other website.
Step 2: Make Payment
Navigate to the Payments section on the portal and pay the required application fee through UNIMED’s official payment platform only. UNIMED has been explicit on this: payment into any individual’s account is strictly prohibited. Anyone who pays through an unofficial channel does so at their own risk and will not be considered registered.
Step 3: Log In to the Application Portal
After payment, return to the portal and click Application Login. Use your 2026 JAMB Registration Number as your username and your Payment Transaction ID as your password to log in and access your application dashboard.
Step 4: Complete the Registration Form
Fill in all sections of the form accurately — your personal details, JAMB information, O’Level results, and chosen course. Upload any required documents, including your passport photograph.
Step 5: Submit and Await Screening Details
After submitting, check your portal regularly. UNIMED communicates screening dates, venues, and further instructions through candidates’ individual portals on the university website. Screening has historically been conducted both virtually and on-site, with the specific format communicated per candidate before the exam date.
UNIMED Post UTME Screening Format
The Post-UTME screening at UNIMED covers academic subjects relevant to the candidate’s chosen programme. Based on past session patterns:
- Screening mode: Both virtual and on-site (format varies by session)
- Venue and modalities: Communicated via each candidate’s portal before the exam date
- Timing: Historically held in August/September, across multiple days
Candidates are strongly advised to study UNIMED’s past questions in their relevant subject areas. The exam tests knowledge of your core JAMB subjects — Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and English — with course-specific weighting.

Why UNIMED Is Worth Your Application
Many candidates overlook UNIMED because it is a state university and because it is specialised. Both are actually advantages, not drawbacks.
- It is the only specialised medical university of its kind in West Africa. Every resource, every lecturer, every facility is oriented toward health sciences. You are not competing with law students for the library or with arts students for laboratory time.
- Its academic calendar is one of the most stable in Nigeria. Strikes and session extensions that affect many Nigerian universities have had minimal impact on UNIMED’s operations. Students graduate on time.
- NUC rankings place it in the top 20 universities in Nigeria overall. For a state-funded institution under 15 years old, that ranking places it well above many older federal and private universities.
- Smaller student population means better access to facilities, lecturers, and clinical training slots. For health programmes, this is directly relevant to the quality of hands-on training you receive.
