LIKE OUR PAGE ON FACEBOOK FOR MORE INFO ON UNN UPDATES 1) Leave For Nsukka In Time:. It’s important you be in the School at least two days before the exam especially for those coming from far places like Lagos. To enable you to locate your venue at least a day before the exam. 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. Another point is that there are only about 3 major transport companies (Peace, Ifesinachi, The school shuttle at Enugu campus) 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 50 by shuttle bus N 70 by shuttle taxi (mainly V W Golf car) -Campus to Town (Park): N50 by shuttle bus N 70 by shuttle taxi -Anywhere within the Campus is N30. Note here that Bike will not take you into the campus. Bike will only stop you at the main gate or at the 2nd gate (i.e if you are going to Ziks flat Hostel) 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. You can also call CHIMEX on 07061020282 4a)Accommodation: In the past, the school provided accommodation for Post UME candidates who are required to pay N500 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. 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)JAMB slip ( If you forget your own you can reprint it at Room 325 Mbanefo) (iii)HB Pencil and Eraser. Do not go to the exam halls with your mobile phone to avoid stories that touch 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. CHIMEX COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY will also paste the venues in all the hostels in UNN 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!. I also want to state here that there is nothing like POST UME PAIRING. Don’t pay anybody for anything like that or they eat your money 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. As in eh… Network is very bad during post UME 8)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. YES…. Don’t pay anybody any money in the name of admission runs or they EAT YOUR MONEY.
