The University of Lagos on Friday said that at least 25,000 candidates participated in the institution\u2019s Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination which ended on Friday.<\/p>\n

An official in the admissions office of the university, who spoke anonymously, made disclosure to the\u00a0News Agency of Nigeria\u00a0<\/em>in Lagos.<\/p>\n

According to the official, over 60, 000 candidates applied for admission into the institution for the 2019\/2020 academic session.<\/p>\n

He noted that of the figure, over 35,000 obtained 200 marks and above at this year\u2019s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.<\/p>\n

The official said that candidates who scored 200 and above were eligible to participate in the institution\u2019s Post UTME<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least 9,000 candidates would be given placement into the university for the various undergraduate programmes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor any candidate to be considered for admission in our institution, he or she must have scored 12 points,\u2019\u2019 the official said.<\/p>

NAN<\/em>\u00a0reports that the Post UTME carries a total of 30 marks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe examination started on Monday, August 26 and so far, it has been hitch-free. The university acquired more computers and their back-ups, which have all been in top shape, while the tests lasted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe electricity too was uninterrupted. We have not recorded any impersonation too, probably because of the measures put in place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s examination has turned out to be one of the best we have ever recorded in recent times. JAMB made available to us images of the candidates coupled with the biometric machines used in authenticating them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must also give credit to the candidates because most of them now know how the system works, how to operate the computers, thereby taking the pressure off the examiners,\u2019\u2019 the official told\u00a0NAN<\/em>.<\/p>\n
