The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has cautioned prospective students against relying on unverified information concerning the 2026/2027 admission exercise. The warning comes as thousands of candidates continue to search for updates on admission lists, screening requirements, departmental cut-off marks and other procedures connected with the new academic session. With admission season generating significant activity across social media platforms, candidates are increasingly exposed to information from unofficial sources. UNILAG has urged prospective candidates to obtain important admission information directly from the university’s recognised communication channels. Candidates are expected to verify announcements concerning application procedures, admission requirements, screening exercises and deadlines before taking any action. The warning is particularly important because admission seekers can easily become targets of fraudsters who promise to secure admission in exchange for money. Prospective students are advised not to pay individuals claiming to have the power to influence admission decisions or provide guaranteed admission slots. Candidates should also be careful about sharing personal information, examination details and payment information with unofficial agents. The university’s official platforms remain the appropriate channels for confirming admission-related announcements. Candidates who have participated in the admission exercise are equally advised to monitor their JAMB CAPS accounts and follow instruction issued by the institution. As the 2026/2027 admission process continues, students and parents are encouraged to exercise caution and verify every admission-related claim before acting on it.
