Nature of UNN Post UTME Exam

For each subject, there will be 17 questions to answer 15 questions. This means you will answer a total of 60 questions for the exam.
The time to answer all the questions is 60mins (1 hour).
You are free to review your answers before you submit them.
Sometimes, UNN repeats their questions. They also repeat jamb past questions. That’s why you need the myUNN Post UTME App. It will adequately prepare you for the UNN post-utme. Testing your knowledge with both JAMB and UNN past questions. Install myUNN Post UTME App Now!!!
Try to be at the venue of your exam at least 30 minutes before your time on the acknowledgment slip. You will join a queue at the exam Venue based on your exam time and SCORE range. You will have to be patient. One of the officials there will openly announce the score range that is permitted to enter the exam hall at that particular time, so listen attentively.
After the arrangements, you will move in, but before you are been given your own computer, you will have to go through accreditation with your acknowledgment slip
During the Accreditation,a passcode will be written on your acknowledgment slip by the official doing the accreditation.
On getting to your computer, you will be required to input the passcode that was written on your acknowledgment slip during accreditation. Without that, you can’t log in
After you input the passcode, the next stage is your jamb registration number. You will simply input your jamb registration number twice in different columns and submit.
