UNILORIN Post-UTME 2024: All You Need To Know
As usual, the Post UTME is purely a Computer Based Examination and the subjects are divided into 3 category, which are:
Use of English (which carries the most questions), Mathematics (very few – if you are lucky enough) and general subject (this contains the current affairs and other general subjects).
On the rate of 100%, English takes 80%, while Maths and General subject take 10% to 20%, based on how lucky you are.
Note: All candidates are doing the same subjects (irrespective of your course). It is also applicable to DE candidates.
UNILORIN major area of concentration used to be CONCORD (not until last session that everything changed), though you can’t escape it and they like preparing Questions under the exception of the rules). Secondly, you must be good with spellings, because you’re likely to come across it a lot.

Spellings like, pronunciation, accommodation, liaison, lieutenant, broccoli, Scissors, Acknowledgement and all sorts are to be expected. Then question tag as well, Synonyms and Antonyms, Lexis and structure, few stress pattern and the other aspects will be on Phrase and Clause (study every thing you can about this two), as from last year, phrasal Verb, Adverbial Clause etcetera are unavoidable questions in UNILORIN post UTME.
In Mathematics, make sure you know probability, change of subject of formulae, words problem in general, simple interest and some common sense general mathematics (though there will be few questions on it). Don’t think because you’re not a science student and neglect Mathematics, since you’ve done it in your O’level, the University believe you should have adequate knowledge of it.
Lastly, in General paper (current affairs), they used to ask some common things in Biology or Geography, worry not, you are familiar with them.

Make sure you know difference between Biography and autobiography…
Be familiar with full meaning of some Common acronyms (example AIDS – the ‘A’ is Acquired and not Acquire)
For your Mathematics, don’t belittle yourself that you don’t know Maths, because I won’t say the Maths are really calculations but a word problem mostly (and this has to do with how well you understand English and how you can easily relate it with calculations)
Also, don’t form over sabi and leave a question unanswered, UNILORIN doesn’t award mark for that (to them it’s laziness).
For the documents to take along:
Your Jamb registration slip, payment receiept, your scheduled slip together with your HB pencil. calculator is not allowed
Note:
- Your scheduling slip is the most important document you should take to the exam centre
- As you go to your various centre, please be punctual (be at the centre at least 30 minutes before your exam)
- Be modest in your dressing
