TEN (10) THINGS YOU
MUST DO AND KNOW
BEFORE COMING TO
NSUKKA FOR UNN POST
UTME
NOTE : This write up was
not made, in any way, to freak
or scare you; on the contrary, it
is meant to adequately prepare
you for the big task ahead. So,
put your mind at rest and follow
these simple guidelines in order
to give you leverage even as you
achieve success in up-coming
UNN Post UTME. Besides, no
undergraduate within the
University of Nigeria has a
better head than you do. Now,
let’s roll!
First of all, let me give
you a brief info about the
University. The University of
Nigeria, commonly referred to
as UNN, is a federal university
located at Nsukka, Enugu State,
Nigeria. Founded in 1955 and
formally opened on October 7,
1960, the University of Nigeria
has four campuses - Nsukka,
Enugu and Ituku-Ozalla - located
in Enugu State and one in Aba,
Abia State, Nigeria. The main
campus of the University is
located on 871 hectares of hilly
savannah in the town of
Nsukka, about eighty kilometers
north of Enugu, and enjoys a
very pleasant and healthy
climate. The University, with a
motto ‘To restore the dignity of
man’ has been a very successful
ivory tower, and has produced
important personalities in
elevated positions in Nigeria.
The likes of Chinua Achebe, Dora
Akunyili, Chimanda Adichie
amongst others are alumnus of
this great institution. Before I
digress, let’s get to the main
points;
1) Leave For Nsukka In Time:
I mean in time, not on
time , I hope you know the
difference from your Use of
English. It’s important you be in
the School at least two days
before the exam especially for
those coming from far places
like Lagos. As a result of the
mammoth crowd coming for
this exam, there is bound to be
heavy traffic in certain cities
around Nsukka. Before now,
this exam had been co-hosted/
conducted both at Nsukka and
Enugu (UNEC) campuses of the
University, but this time, all the
candidates will have to head to
Nsukka, the only venue for this
year. Also, statistics shows that
over 50,000 candidates will be
coming for the exams, that is a
break down from over 60,000
that made UNN their first or
second choice and scored 200
or above in the JAMB UTME. Note
that a total of 128,776
candidates chose UNN as either
their first choice or second
choice course in the 2011/2012
JAMB UTME. Official statistics
from JAMB is available here .
Another point is that there are
only about 3 major transport
companies (Peace, Ifesinachi,
and Globis) that ply the Nsukka
route. The points I made above
is just to give you a glimpse of
what to expect when you
decide to come to Nsukka a day
before the exam or even on the
exam day. Please come ahead of
time
2) Transportation in School:
The only means of
transportation within the
school is via the school’s
services known as UNN shuttle
(This is clearly written on the
shuttles buses and taxis
available within and outside the
campus). It takes students both
in and out of the campus. These
shuttles give one a great deal of
convenience and a feeling of
safety. They have, as their
destination, a park in the town ,
which is very close to Peace
Mass Transit park (i.e, in front of
the popular Ogige market at
Nsukka). It can as well stop you
anywhere you wish inside the
campus or anywhere within its
route. There are also other
smaller routes inside the school
like the Flat (Zik’s flat) route. The
summary of the transport fares
is as follows
-Town (Park) to campus:
N 20 by shuttle bus
N 40 by shuttle taxi (mainly V W
Golf car)
-Campus to Town (Park):
N 30 by shuttle bus
N 40 by shuttle taxi
-Anywhere within the Campus
is N 30.
It’s not advisable to ask
for lift that day, pay for your
transport fares. However, it is
more painful not to know
anyone or anything about the
school before coming. Guess
what? You’re at advantage for
having gone through this.
Ladies, as the most
‘endangered’ specie, we would
say, “OPEN YOUR EYES.” We have
our reasons; find out as you
read on.
3) Ask for Help If Need be
When you need help in
any way like locating a
particular place in the school,
ask for it, don’t pretend. Once
it’s your first time of being to
the School, whoever sees you
would know, you can’t hide it.
Just look for good and innocent
looking student (although
appearance can be deceptive)
and ask for what you want.
UNN students are friendly and
generous; there'll always be
somebody ready to help.
4a)Accommodation:
In the past, the school
provided accommodation for
Post UME candidates who are
required to pay N 500 for the
accommodation, and I believe
same will be applicable this
year. If you prefer a private
accommodation, there are few
hotels and lodgings in Nsukka,
some of which are CEC( the
school owned lodging), New &
Old Hotel Carolina (outside, but
close to the school), Milipat,
Conis hotels. These few hotels &
lodgings will surely be in hot
demands. If you plan on staying
with a friend, make sure you
contact him or her ahead of
time. However, most
accommodation problems are
been mitigated by the different
campus fellowship bodies who
will always be available with
their buses, helping stranded
candidates get an
accommodation, and locate
their different locations. Though
you may have to leave your own
faith or fellowship when you
are finally admitted into the
University as you‘ll get constant
SMSs, calls, visits, and pestering
to join their fellowship.
b) Don’t worry about what to
eat
Yes, it’s funny but I know
some mummy pikins will
actually be thinking about this.
There is a variety of food to eat
in Nsukka, the most popular
being OKPA, a popular pudding
eaten and enjoyed by many in
Enugu state. It’s eaten like
peanuts here, and I bet you‘ll
enjoy it (although some of them
can be REALLY pepperish). There
are also other native Nsukka
foods like aghara agha Ji,
aghara agha ede, aghara agha
oka. Don’t ask me how they
taste, just taste and see for
yourself, lol. You‘ll also get the
usual general foods you see in
other parts of the country.
5) Come with all the
requirements
You are required to bring the
following for the screening
exercise:
(i) A copy of
ONLINE form duly
completed, bearing
the passport-sized
photograph.
(ii) 2011/2012
JAMB slip
(iii) HB Pencil and
Eraser.
Do not go to the exam halls
with your mobile phone as
you‘ll be forced to drop it
outside the hall, and who
knows what will happen to it
before you could come out to
pick it. Information on the halls
for the screening will be made
available at the P.R.O. office in
the campus and will also be
available on this site a day
before the exam.
6) Come for the exam
prepared
It’s almost impossible to
prepare too much. Read
extensively and within the JAMB
curriculum. In the battle field, no
enemy is less important. Do not
look down on any question
during the exam. Attack each of
them like a soldier that is
fighting with his last breath.
However, DO NOT CHEAT! DO
NOT INVOLVE YOUR SELF IN EXAM
MALPRACTICE, UNN does not
tolerate that. It’s a serious
offence here!
7) Have an Alternative Phone
Number Other than MTN
It is important that you
have an alternative phone
number other than MTN with
which you can contact whoever
you‘ll stay with when you come
to the school or with which you
can be contacted easily as time
has shown that MTN network in
Nsukka most times go down
whenever there is a big event
like the post UME especially in
the evenings.
Beware of scammers
You have to be very careful
‘cos there will be wolves in
sheep’s clothing. These
fraudsters, who of course are
not bonafide students of the
University will be targeting
gullible Post Ume candidates
with offers of Admission runs,
Accommodation (both free and
paid), especially to Post ume
girls. Don’t ask me why they
prefer offering the
accommodation to girls ‘cos I
don’t know. They will always
come as friends. You just have
to be wise
9) You are Secured!!
Once you are inside the
University of Nigeria, your
security is guaranteed. The
university has a vibrant security
department with a rapid
response unit. You don’t have to
panic. So whenever you find
yourself in trouble, just raise an
alarm and be sure you‘ll get a
rapid response.
10 Get A Glimpse of How the
questions look like
The last but not the
least, many students will want
to know how the UNN post
Ume questions look like by
getting a past question. It is
very important!!

^culled from www.unn-edu.info. Although it's last year's (the one I used), 98% of the information still apply.

Nice1@ simonAndal,


The article has been updated this year, check the UNN INFO website to read the updated version

It's almost the same thing. Just that some fees (bus) have been changed (N10 increment). No biggie!

pls i need help oooooo...............sent a family member to nsukka, she got d card and sent me the pin, since den i have being trying to fill d form but it kept telling me access code is invalid...pls wat am i to do?@any one

Tell her to check the characters she sent you. The pin is under a silver panel.
Or go to First Bank and buy a new one.

Does UNN allow an embedded photocopy on it's pre-registration form? Because from the information I lately got from their post-utme template that candidates ought not to scan a photocopy on their form. Even when I wanted to fill their online form that same photocopy application appeared on their website portal. Please help me verify this.

Dude d'ya mean "photocopy" or "passport-sized photo"?

@prince, to successfully login, You must enter the entire content she sent you.

The pin is of the format, PUME-XXXXXXXXXX (the X represent a 10 digit number) all makes up your ACCESS CODE.

is it recommendable to buy the scratch card, i chose unn second choice for medicine and surgery and i scored 229 in jamb?

Buy, you could never know.

Hi,
this is to all those that chose UNN as second choice, you'll be accorded the same treatment as those that made UNN their first choice. I'm a living testimony to it. Also, for those that haven't bought their scratch cards, i could be of help with just a service charge of N200. Call me if you're interested-08188655030

Gershal i am one of them that made unn my 2nd choice.....what course was given to u and what year did u gain admission?

A passport-sized photo I mean. Does unn allow it to be scannned on the online form?

ARE YOU LIVING AT A DISTANT STATE and cannot travel to Nsukka for the Post-utme scratch cards, We can do it for You, help you obtain the Scratch Cards, as well as giving you FREE PAST QUESTIONS to get prepared. Simply contact VNTI on facebook or click on the website link in my signature below.

Thanks.
