who were successful in their UTME this year.
WHAT IS POST UTME?
Post UTME is short for Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. In other words, it is post JAMB or the exam
written by JAMB candidates just after the UTME before admission. Post UTMEs are just recognized admission screening exams that higher institutions in Nigeria conduct for students who apply for higher education admission in Nigeria.
Each university organizes and conducts her own Post UTME but for a candidate to take part in this exam, the candidate must have applied to the university, wrote JAMB exam with a score equal to or above the general JAMB and university cut-off mark .
If a candidate fails to write Post UTME, he or she will be denied admission irrespective of how high the candidate scored in JAMB exam.

WHAT Is THE PATTERN FOR POST UTME
QUESTIONS?
The Post UTME pattern is almost similar in many institutions. It is also similar to JAMB questions. If you have studied well for your JAMB exam, writing Post UTME will not be difficult.
For now, the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN(UNILORIN), for example, usually sets questions on just three(3) subjects which are
Mathematics, English Language and Current Affairs or General Paper for all students irrespective of the course you
have registered for in your JAMB and its subject combination.
Currently, the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) post UTME screening examination is made up of four (4)
subjects including English Language and depends on your UTME subject combination.
It is advisable to go through past exam questions for an exam you are writing for the first time. Before we let you know where you can get or download Post UTME questions for your chosen subjects, you can take a simple look at this post UTME question sample below.

HOW DO I CALCULATE MY POST UTME SCORE?
There is no simple or general formula in use when calculating Post UTME score. Some institutions do not make their calculation open.
Perhaps, the reason is because there are many considerations and factors that influence how Post UTME score is calculated.
For example, in order to calculate your UNILAG post-utme
aggregate score, the formula purportedly adopted by the
institution is the sum of your UTME SCORE divided by 8 and your POST UTME SCORE divided by 2.
For instance:
If you scored 290 in UTME and went on to score 70 in POST UTME,your aggregate score will be calculated thus:
UTME Score = 290/8 =36.25
Post UTME Score = 70/2 =35
Aggregate Score =36.25 + 35 =71.25%
HOW TO CHECK POST UTME RESULT
After all the stress about writing Post UTME, you still need
to know how to check your result when it is out.It is usually simple when compare with Post UTME registration. Simply go to the university website portal where
you write your Post UTME and you will see a simple form where you will enter you exam numbers and pin code. Submit the form by clicking on the submit button.
Your result will be display on the page.

WILL MY SECOND CHOICE UNIVERSITY CONSIDER ME FOR POST UTME?
Many institutions only consider candidates who applied to them as a first choice option. This may be as a result of
huge number of candidates that applied to the institutions and the many numbers that scored above JAMB cut-off mark.
There are other institutions that allow second choice candidates to take part in their Post UTME.
Basically it depends on each institution since they do not have a single law that guides them when it comes to internal decisions in an institution.
CAN I WRITE POST UTME FOR A UNIVERSITY I DID NOT APPLIED FOR?
Yes, very few institutions invite candidates who did not choose them in their JAMB application to apply for Post
UTME. It is usually some universities that have programmes with little students on their list.But also beware of scam.
IF I SCORE LESS THAN MY COURSE CUT-OFF MARK IN POST UTME, DO I STILL HAVE HOPE?
It will be very difficult for any candidate to get admission in any institution whose cut off mark, he or she failed to meet.
It will be advisable to change your institution or course!!
