You’re Not Alone: Why UNILORIN Post UTME Applicants Get Stuck After Payment
Every year, thousands of applicants rush to register for the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) Post UTME. But after making payment, many get stuck. Whether it’s a Remita glitch, a failed redirect, or login trouble, a single issue can block your entire admission process.
This guide will walk you through how to fix the issue and complete your UNILORIN Post UTME registration, even if the portal isn’t responding properly.
Diagnosis: Why You Can’t Proceed After Payment
Here are the most common reasons students face issues after paying:
1. Payment Confirmation Delay on Remita
Your payment went through, but Remita hasn’t confirmed it with the UNILORIN portal yet.
2. Portal Timeout or Failed Redirection
You made payment, but the system didn’t redirect you back to complete registration.
3. Wrong Login Details or Expired Session
You may have used incorrect login info, or your session expired.
4. RRR Not Recognized by the Portal
Even if your Remita RRR is valid, the portal may not be pulling your data.
5. UNILORIN Portal Technical Downtime
High traffic or maintenance can cause temporary access issues.
If any of this sounds like what you’re facing, here’s what you can do to resolve it.
