UNILORIN POST-UTME Screening
UNILORIN has a unique approach to POST-UTME. In some years, the university has waived the POST-UTME examination and relied on JAMB scores plus O’Level grades for admission. In other years, they conduct standard POST-UTME CBT screening. Candidates should check the UNILORIN portal each year for the current policy.
When POST-UTME is conducted, the format is typically:
- Computer-Based Test with 40–50 questions
- Duration of approximately 45 minutes
- Questions based on JAMB subject combinations
