Don’t Be Deceived, Don’t Relax, You Are Still Writing Post UTME

Base on the current scrapping of post UTME for applicants into Nigerian Universities/Polytechnics, in the last joint admission policy meeting. So many applicants were so happy about the development because they thought they will no longer travel from States to States to write any entrance exam in their schools of choice.

This is also supposed to aim at putting a stop to unnecessary spending that Nigerian students were exposed to before and during the conduct of the post UTME. Moreover, most schools did not only followed the JAMB pattern of exam in conducting the post UTME but they also used past questions from JAMB.

Based on this, the Minister of Education and Jamb authority decided to put an end to it and suggested that schools can conduct admission screening for applicants but must not be in the nature of Jamb exam. This is because most schools are found of conducting their post UTME using students Jamb combination subjects.
