The University of Lagos, Akoka, has announced the schedule of its registration for the conduct of the 2023 post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination screening exercise.
This was contained in a statement by the university‘s Registrar, Ladj Azeez, noting that the 2023–2024 admission exercise screening is scheduled to commence on Monday, July 10, and July 28.
The exercise is conducted for candidates seeking graduate admission to the university.
For reasons related to the coronavirus pandemic, among others, the university did not conduct the screening test in 2022. It only graded the candidates based on the UTME scores and their grades in the senior school certificate examinations.
Meanwhile, eligible applicants for the screening exercise are those who score 200 and above in the UTME and chose the university as their first choice.
The statement noted that the university fixed the screening test to take place between Monday, July 31st, and Friday, August 4th.
It was said that only candidates who chose the university as their first choice in the UTME would be considered.
He stressed that such candidates must also have secured a minimum of 200 points in the 2023 UTME and possess at least five credit passes, including English Languages and Mathematics, in one sitting in their O/Level results.
He said candidates younger than sixteen years old by October 31 would not be considered for admission, adding that candidates previously expelled by the university are not eligible for admission.
“Only candidates who must have uploaded their O/Level results on the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) on or before August 13, 2023, will be considered for admission,” he said. “Candidates who do not participate in the Post-UTME Screening will not be considered for admission.”
“Former students of the university whose admissions were withdrawn on the basis of poor academic performance or absence status could re-apply on condition that the new admission shall be for a new programme or course different from the former programme or course.”
The university said the screening fee is N2,000 and urged applicants to be wary of fraudsters.
To register for the screening, candidates are asked to visit the university’s website.
“Click on Admissions, click on Post-UTME Application, log in with UTME number as username and surname in lowercase as password, generate and print payment advice, proceed to any commercial bank to make payment or pay online, return to the University portal to complete the screening form, and print Post-UTME Examination Pass.”
The candidates are then to sit for their post-UTME online aptitude test on the scheduled dates.
