Hammed Shittu in Ilorin

About 16, 920 candidates have participated in this year’s post-UTME test for the University of Ilorin’s 2023/2024 admissions.

THISDAY gathered that the candidates were among the 18,098 admission seekers that registered for the 2023/2024 Post-UTME test of the university.

The screening exercise, which was entirely computer-based, was held in the university campus between the hours of 8.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. each day during the exercise.

Speaking on the exercise, the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic), Prof. Abayomi Olubunmi Omotesho, commended all the candidates for abiding by the examination rules throughout the exercise.

Omotesho noted that there were no recorded incidents of examination malpractice or impersonation.

He explained that the test was officially completed last Thursday (February 22, 2024) while Friday, February 23, 2024, was for mop-up, to accommodate candidates who were unavoidably unable to sit the test within the previously scheduled dates.

Omotesho attribute the prompt daily release of results to candidates to the vision of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole (SAN), to ensure that the university continued to conform to global best practices.

 He assured them that the university would begin posting information on the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) once the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) opens the CAPS for the process.

He emphasised that any admission conducted outside CAPS would remain illegal.

Omotesho also warned the candidates to beware of scammers and advised them to only use the university’s official platforms for information and communication.
