The management of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) has announced the cancellation of its 2023/2024 Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), scheduled to hold between October 3 and October 28.
In a statement signed by the Registrar, Dr. Mrs. C.N Nnebedum, the university stated that the decision to waive the post-UTME test was due to prevailing uncertainties and logistical challenges for prospective candidates travelling from different parts of the country.
According to the statement, the screening of the students will be based on verified JAMB UTME, O’level and Direct Entry results in place of the Post -UTME Computer Based Test (CBT) Examination.
The statement reads, “This is to inform prospective candidates and the general public that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka 2023/2024 Post-UTME Screening Exercise, earlier slated to start from Tuesday, October 3, 2023, through Friday, October 18, 2023, will no longer be held.
“The reconsideration by the Management to waive the Post-UTME Screening Test for 2023/2024 academic session was occasioned by the prevailing uncertainties and logistical implications of travelling down from various parts of the country at this challenging time.
