Firstly, let’s start by giving you a
brief definition of the Post-UTME
and how it is been conducted in all Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria.
;
Post-UTME screening
– meaning Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination is a method tertiary institutions use to ensure they pick
qualified candidates for admission. The methods usually used by schools to
achieve this include:
- i. Online Screening
- ii. Physical Screening and
- iii. Aptitude Test Screening.
Some schools may use just one of
these screening methods while some may use two or all three of these screening
methods.
Nevertheless, most schools make use
the Aptitude Test Screening in selecting the qualified candidates for
admission.
Now let’s briefly explain
what's involved in these 3 different methods of Screening.
1. Online Screening
In this case, you will be required
to upload your results and other relevant documents on the school's portal. The
school will then screen you based on how good your results are as well as the
validity of documents and other information you submitted.
The documents you may need to upload
include;
- O’level result (WAEC, NECO or
GCE)
- JAMB
result(original)
- Birth certificate
- Certificate of State/LG of
origin
- JAMB Direct Entry Registration
slip (For Direct Entry candidates)
- Passport
- JAMB details (such as
Registration number, subject combination etc)
2. Physical
Screening
In physical screening, candidates
will be required to come to the schools with all relevant documents to be
screened.
The school may equally decide to
conduct an oral interview for candidates. Students are advised to go to the
screening in formal attire and ensure they look decent. One thing that will
give you an edge in this case is the confidence you exude while answering the
questions thrown at you.
3. Aptitude Test
Screening
Here candidates will take an
aptitude test as a form of screening. This is in form of an examination. It
could be CBT (Computer Paper Test) or PPT (Pen and Paper Test). Many schools
(if not all) now use this method to screen candidates. In this case, candidates
are advised to get the Post-UTME Past questions of their school of choices in
order to prepare adequately for the aptitude test Screening.
If you will be partaking in the
Post-UTME screening of any school this year, all you have to do is to wait for
your school of choice to announce its post-UTME Screening for this year, not until
then, you cannot know the method your school of choice would adopt.
You have to follow the official
