UNILAG Post UTME 2015: Over 32,000 Candidates Battle for 9,000 Slots

Over 32,000 candidates will write the UNILAG Post UTME 2015 for admission into the University of Lagos, according to the institution’s Deputy Registrar (Information), Mr Olagoke Oke.

The UNILAG Post UTME 2015 examination is scheduled to hold from Aug. 12 to Aug. 14.

 The Deputy Registrar revealed that the figure was close to four times the 9,000 that was initially posted to the institution by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), which was actually the Institution’s carrying capacity.

NAN reports that JAMB in collaboration with some public universities had agreed to raise the bar of the cut-off marks of their institutions from 200 to 250 for the various courses. The development had generated an outrage among candidates, their parents and other stakeholders, who called on Federal Government to intervene. The decision was later reversed after consultations between the Prof. Dibu Ojerinde-led JAMB and the Federal Government.

Oke said:“I want to say that all logistics toward a smooth conduct of this examination are fully in place. “We have always been ready for situations like this and have always got it right. . “Before now, we were hoping to put logistics in place for the initial 9,000 candidates, but with the reversal of the decision, we now have to re- adjust and I want to say that we are fully prepared. “All our computers and its accessories, the backups, alternative power supply as well as adequate personnel that will conduct the examination are all ready.’’

The deputy registrar said the university was compelled to extend the exercise to three days because of the large number of candidates seeking admission into the institution. He, however, advised candidates to arrive early at the examination centres for a hitch-free exercise. (NAN)

UNILORIN Post UTME 2015: Likely Questions

The aim of Success Point at any point in time is to ease the difficulties passed by Nigerian students. Here we have looked into some likely questions that the University of Ilorin might pick out and how to tackle it.

If you are in possession of a book which contains past Post Ume questions, then you must have come across some sort of Maths questions which seem too strange and time-consuming. Do not feel disgruntled. There are easy ways to walk your way through these. Let me give
you an example:

If today is Tuesday, what day would it be in the next 50 days?. …… Here is the solution:
First, you need to know that if you keep adding 7 days to that Tuesday, you will keep getting Tuesday. For example, today is Thursday, 7 days from now would be Thursday, 14 days from now would still be Thursday, and so on. No matter what, adding 7 days would keep giving you Thursday. OKAY? Same goes with Tuesday and any other day.

So, if you are given this sort of question above: “If today is Tuesday, What day would it be in the next 50 days?”.
Just divide 50 by 7 and add the remainder to Tuesday. It would be like this: 50/7 = 7 Remainder 1.

The remainder 1 means you should count one day from Tuesday. Hence, the answer would be a WEDNESDAY.
You see? Not that hard. There are easy ways to calculate all these sort of questions without wasting your time.

 

Atthairu Jega from Kebbi state
You need to familiarize yourself with the name of current Jamb Registrar (Prof Dibu Ojerinde), current EFCC chairman (Ibrahim Lamorde), current CBN gov (Godwin Emefiele), current minsister for Eduation, (Ibrahim Shekarau), NAFDAC BOSS (Paul Orhi) e.t.c

HISTORY AND FACTS ABOUT UNILORIN
Even though YOU are too lazy to read about the aforementioned points and clues, please I beg you in the name of God, don’t joke with this, even this part is all you can answer in the current affairs section, do it and do justice to it. Likely Questions under this includes; -when Unilorin was founded Sept. 1975 -first vice chancellor (called principal then)-prof T.N Tamuno, sadly this man died last week Saturday at age 83.***Adieu to an academician u may say** -the current VC (Prof Abdulganiyu Ambali) -the current Registrar (Mr E.O Obafemi) -the no of faculties, the school chancellor (king of Agbor kingdom) e.t.c

QUESTIONS ON NIGERIAN CONSTITUTIONS
Note the years of constitutions we ever had in this country.. e.g In 2009, A question like ” Sir Richard’s Constitution was introduced in Nigeria in what year A.1946 B.1950 C. 1964 D.1864. The correct Answer is A.1946
So, read up the dates of those constitutions.
QUESTION ON NIGERIA HISTORY
They includes, dates of independent, when Nigeria became a republic, when queen Elizabeth visited Nigeria, Nigerian civil war date, amalgamation, names of past presidents and years of rule (starting from Lord Luggard),who designed the Nigerian Flag, who composed the Nigerian first and second anthem.

When paper money became a legal tender in Nigeria, when NYSC was established. Read about this aspect very well, you cant afford not to answer at least 3 questions from this area. So smash it and make it a walk over.
NIGERIAN COAT OF ARMS AND WHAT EACH PART DEPICTS
Nigerian states-the most populous, the state’s slogan e.g Lagos as centre of excellence, Oyo as the pacesetter state, kwara as state of harmony, Benue as the food basket of the nation. try to know all the 36 states including the FCT. The state capital of all states, The no of local govt. in Nigeria, no of senators and house of representative members, the current speaker and senate president.
