More than 32,000 candidates will write the 2015 post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) into the University of Lagos, according to the institution’s Deputy Registrar (Information), Olagoke Oke.
The examination is scheduled to hold from August 12 to 14.
JAMB admission benchmark score this year is 180 for university applicants. However, some schools, including Unilag said only candidates who scored 250 and above will be allowed to write the post-UTME exams.
The decision sparked outrage and was later reversed with the intervention of the federal government.
Mr. 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 already.’’
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.
