The Federal Government of Nigeria has lifted its
ban on Tertiary institutions from conducting Post-UTME exams. As you
can recall, post- UTME exams were not held in Nigeria last year due
to regulations from the senate. The federal government is retaking
its steps on that policy.
In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, the
minister of education, Mallam Adamu Adamu said that tertiary
institutions could now conduct post- UTME exams as a pre-condition to
gain admissions into higher institutions in the country.
The Education minister, however, remained
resilient that that post- UTME fee should be made affordable for
parents and guardians.
Will the school I am aspiring to enter conduct
post- UTME exams?
It depends on the school. From the statement of
the minister, post- UTME exams are optional.
Federal institutions will more likely conduct
post-UTME exams due to the high number of students applying for them
every year.
State Government owned institutions may not hold
post-UTME exams to encourage more candidates to choose them in the
Joint Admission and Matriculation Board examination; JAMB.
