Understanding Nigerian University & Polytechnic Screening Formats

Nigerian institutions utilize distinct CBT screening formats to rank candidates for admission. Here is how leading institutions structure their screening tests:

1. Speed CBT Screening Model

Adopted by: UNILAG, UNIBEN, LASU, UNILORIN, DELSU

Candidates typically answer 40 questions in 30 minutes. The paper tests high-speed English comprehension, basic quantitative reasoning, and core faculty questions. Speed and instantaneous recall are paramount.

Key: Spend no more than 40 seconds per question.

2. Full 4-Subject Screening

Adopted by: UI, OAU, FUTA, FUTO, UNN, ABU

Candidates face questions directly corresponding to their 4 JAMB UTME subject combinations (e.g. 25 questions per subject for a total of 100 questions in 60-90 minutes). Focuses deeply on standard departmental syllabuses.

Key: Practise each of your 4 UTME subjects individually.

3. Polytechnic ND Screening

Adopted by: YabaTech, Federal Poly Ilaro, Auchi, Nekede

Polytechnic National Diploma (ND) screening assesses core secondary competencies: English, General Mathematics, basic civic awareness, and computer literacy, combined with O'Level result verification.

Key: Solidify basic math and grammar accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about University & Polytechnic Post-UTME CBT screening in Nigeria.

Most Nigerian Federal and State Universities (e.g. UNILAG, UI, UNIBEN, OAU, UNN, FUTA, LASU, UNILORIN) and Polytechnics (e.g. YabaTech, Federal Poly Ilaro) conduct Computer-Based Tests (CBT) for candidates who scored above their institutional cut-off mark in JAMB UTME. The screening score is combined with your UTME score and O'Level results to compute your final aggregate admission score.
Your screening subjects align with your faculty requirements. For instance:
  • Medicine / Health Sciences: English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics.
  • Engineering & Technology: English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry.
  • Management & Social Sciences: English, Mathematics, Economics, Government/Commerce.
  • Law & Arts: English, Literature, Government, CRS/IRS.
  • Polytechnic ND Programmes: English, General Mathematics, Civic Studies & basic computer aptitude.
Leading universities use standard percentage weighting models. For example, UNILAG and UNIBEN utilize the 50:30:20 formula (50% UTME + 30% Post-UTME + 20% O'Level points). Scoring 25/30 or higher in your Post-UTME test significantly boosts your aggregate and makes you competitive for merit list admission into high-demand courses like Medicine, Law, Computer Science, and Engineering.
Yes. You can select any individual subject from our subject grid or faculty matrix above to launch a 20-question self-paced Practice Session (with instant step-by-step solutions) or a 40-question Timed Mock Exam (simulating real exam countdown pressure and scoring).
