The University of Lagos has announced that its 2020 post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) test will commence on Nov. 18 and will last for two weeks.
Mr. Oladejo Azeez, the institution’s Registrar who made this known in a statement on Thursday in Lagos, said online registration for the exercise will begin on Oct. 19 and end on Oct. 30.
The register said that the test would be for admission into all undergraduate courses/programmes of the university for the 2020/2021 academic session.

The statement read further: “Candidates who fail to participate in the post UTME screening will not be considered for admission.
“Former students of the institution whose admissions were withdrawn on the basis of poor academic performance or absence status, could re-apply on the condition that the new admission shall be for a course/ programme different from the former course/programme.
