UNILORIN 2015/2016 - 20 Things You Need To Know About The Post-UTME

After the just concluded JAMB 2015 CBT exam since March 21st, 2015, questions have re-surfaced about the UNILORIN'S Post-UTME form, when it will be out, how it will be, etc.

Here is a compilation of what I think is necessary for you to know at the moment:

1) To qualify for UNILORIN putme exam, you must have sat for any of the O' Level exam either with the result released or awaiting and already meet up with the school's minimum cut-off mark for your course in JAMB.

2) UNILORIN post utme exam is a CBT exam, so be ready to face the computer once more.

3) The question is going to be 50 in number which will last for only 25 minutes/30 minutes.

4) the questions can be categorized into 5 parts which are: Eng Lang., mathematics, Biology, General Question(with Geography having higher priority) and Current Affairs.

5) Generally, UNILORIN doesn't have proportion in which the questions are supplied to candidates which means a candidate may have the afore-listed subjects in the proportion/ratio 20:10;5;7:8(i.e Eng Lang.= 20, Mathematics=10, Biology=5, General Question=7, Current Affairs=8) while another candidate will have his/her combination in the ratio 15:4:8:17:6 and so on which means the proportion varies from candidate to candidate but one thing is certain, you will be provided with 50 questions in total.

6) UNILORIN does not test how far you know about the department or faculty you are coming in for because they believe those ones have been settled in your O' Level and you have also been tested in JAMB so the post UTME is just a way to screen people by the institution, so therefore, don't be surprised if you are a Law student and you sitting next to an Engineering student sitting for the same exam.

7) No official date has been announced for the sale of the post-UTME form by the school, but hopefully one month or more from the time of this post.

8) It would be posted on the dailies, the school website or any of the Nigerian student or educative site like www.akahitutors.com

9) No official price announced yet but it would be something between N3000 and N4000 because last year it was N3000 while it was N2000 in the previous year.

10) The form will be purchased online on the school site using either the Verve r Master Card. PLEASE NOTE THAT FORMS WILL NOT BE SOLD OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL SITE LIKE JAMB FORMS.

11) The Form will be out on sale for two weeks.

12) As practice of all Nigerian Federal Universities, UNILORIN also give priority to candidate in her catchment area than students outside its catchment area, but you will have higher chances if you are from Kwara State but with the highest possibility if you are from Ilorin. So you should not be surprised if you score 220 in JAMB and 80% in putme with no admission yet someone with 200 in JAMB and 60% in putme gain admission.

13) UNILORIN catchment area are: The Middle Belt States which are Kwara, Kogi, Niger, Benue, Nasarawa, etc but the South Western States. Are als considered in some cases.

14) UNILORIN putme cut off mark is generally 50% except for the highly competitive course which are between 60% to 70%. So if you score anything less than 50% in the putme exam, forget about UNILORIN.

15) All that is required of you on the day of the exam is your printout and a pen to sign the attendance but remember to dress decently because UNILORIN doesn't tolerate any form of indecent dressing.

16) Your result will be sent to you as text message at 8pm or so be sure of the phone number you will provide while doing your registration although you can as well check the result on the school website.

17) a text message will be sent to you if you have being offered admission or by checking the school website.

18) Religion is not used as a basis for admission into UNILORIN.

19) UNILORIN provide two centres for the putme exam which are the lagos centre at Oba Akran Avenue and the other centre at the school premises in Ilorin. You are to choose one of this centres for your exam.

20) UNILORIN remedial will also have to sit for the putme because it increases their chances of being offered their desired courses although what actually qualify them for admission is meeting up with the minimum 50% pass in their courses but this does not guarantee that they would be offered their desired courses.
