The University of Nigeria (UNN) is a
prestigious university known for it’s commitment to the goal of
“restoring the dignity of man”. UNN is also popularly called the Lion’s
Den. As a prospective undergraduate student of the great university, if
you have applied for admission into UNN as your first or second choice
university as the case may be, you are a potential lion or lioness.
Let me give a brief run-down on what you need to know as of this moment about how UNN post-utme are organized.
What the Typical UNN Post-UTME Screening Exam Looks Like
The University of Nigeria (UNN)
organises her Post-UTME Exams in quite a unique and different way from
other institutions of learning in Nigeria.
What you are being tested on in UNN
post-utme will be more of speed and accuracy because you will be given a
total of 60 questions to answer in 40 minutes.
The subjects you are to write in the
Post-UTME is exactly the same subject combination you used to write your
JAMB-UTME as you will notice when buying the Post-UTME form and
registering online. For example, if your subject combination was English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry like mine was in those days, it’ll be the same combination in your post-ume.
*When you register online, you will
notice that your entire profile will be download from the JAMB official
website using your JAMB registration number. You’ll only be required to
fill a few more extra details.
Now, each subject will have 15 questions
and as a rule of thumb for good time management in the exam, you are
expected to complete each subject in 10 minutes i.e. 40 seconds per
question.
As for examination centre, all Post-UTME
exams are always taken in the school campus but for want of venues, all
exams will not be taken in one day. This is why UNN Post-UTME are often
scheduled to take place in three days for various faculties and
departments to allow for the screening exams to be conducted in decorum
and better managed.
You examination centre also has a lot to
do with your JAMB score because UNN is of the habit of categorizing
students according to their JAMB scores. For instance, for a post-UTME
exam for a course or department like say, Economics, we can have
categories like 250 to 262, 235 to 249, 205 to 234, 190 to 204 and 180
to 189 depending on what the highest and lowest scores out of the
students that applied for Economics were and also depending on the
number of students in each score category. Each of these groups will
write their exams in separate examination halls.
My advice for you as you prepare for
this year’s UNN post-utme exam is that you practice more of speed and
accuracy tests. As you solve past-questions, time yourself and test your
ability to answer the questions correctly and fast likewise.
