UNILAG RELEASES POST UTME RESULT

 The University of Lagos said a total of 17, 935
candidates of the 31,955 that sat for its 2015 Post Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) recently, passed
the screening exercise.

This is contained in a statement signed by the institution’s
Deputy Registrar, Information, Mr Olagoke Oke in Lagos.
It would be recalled that 31,955 candidates who scored 200
marks and chose the university as their school of first
choice participated at the recent 2015 JAMB-organised
UTME.

The statement explained that 26, 732 of the candidates
registered for the post UTME screening for admissions into
University of Lagos for the 2015/2016 session.

The statement said that the screening which was carried out
from Wednesday, Aug. 12 to Friday, Aug. 14 was
successful.

“A total of 17,935 candidates passed the screening test with
a minimum score of 40 per cent.

“To this respect, 309 candidates did not show up for the test
while 118 candidates were disqualified for failure to follow
the instructions for the Computer Based Test (CBT).

“A total of 393 results were initially withheld on suspicion of
malpractice but on further scrutiny, 271 of these results
have been confirmed as cases involving malpractice.

“We will continue to withhold them for further
investigations, while the remaining 122 results have been
released.

“The cut-off marks for admissions into the various
programmes offered by the university have since been
released on the university website,’’ the statement said.
The statement urged all candidates who participated in the
examination to visit the university’s website
www.unilag.edu.ng for the cut-off marks and individual
scores.

The statement warned that the university does not require
any additional payments in respect of admission.
It said that any request made by an individual or group of
individuals for payment in order to assist them to secure
admission was fraudulent.

“ For emphasis, candidates are advised not to make any
payment to anyone for any purpose relating to admissions.
“Anyone found to be involved in any form of solicitation,
giving or receiving money or benefit of any kind with respect
to facilitating admissions into the University of Lagos will be
reported to the appropriate law enforcement agents.
“Additionally, candidates found to have offered or given
money or benefit in kind for admission into the university
will be disqualified from admission.

“Candidates are hereby advised to desist from seeking
information and any other form of assistance in relation to
admissions from sites other than the university’s official
website,’’ the statement warned. (NAN)
