UNIABUJA 2015 Admission : Why There Will Be No Post- UTME

The management of University of Abuja has
earlier stated that there will be no Post-UTME for
2015/2016 aspirants of the university.
Explaining the reason behind this decision, the
university spokesman, Waziri Garba said that
after the redistribution exercise by the Joint
Admission and Matriculation Board, the
institution was left with a small number of
candidates.
According to him, “initially we had about 16,000
candidates applying then after JAMB did their
redistribution exercise we came down to about
6,000 and we need about 4,000 students only. So
why do we conduct post-UTME? it will cost us
more to conduct it for 6,000 people than 16,000
people.”
He further stated that the institution has decided
to admit candidates for 2015/2016 academic
session based on merit at the departmental
level.
"The admission exercise is currently ongoing at
the departmental level and will later go to central
admission unit of the university who will compile
everything before it is finally sent to JAMB". He
asserted.
