     University of Ibadan Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abel Idowu Olayinka has offered some insights into the recently conducted Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) test by the Institution , just as he promised that the 2017/18 admission process will be concluded soon.

    Contrary to insinuation in some quarters that the test was too tough and that science candidates were not allowed to use calculator which was allegedly responsible for failure of many, Prof. Olayinka disclosed that the highest score in the test was 86 from a medical candidate, while a candidate each from Law and Electrical and Electronic department respectively equally posted impressive performance .
Speaking on "Diamond 101.1 FM Radio" to mark the 9th anniversary of the UI' s radio station , the VC who hinted that nine thousand , two hundred and sixty -six (9,266) candidates, representing 44.2% scored 50 and above in the test, out of 20, 949 candidates who sat for the test , remarked that the test was to assist the university in admitting the best out of the best candidates.
Prof. Olayinka who asserted that not all of those writing the Joint Admission and Matriculation Examination (JAMB) and Post-UTME test were university materials advocated the resuscitation of Technical Institutes for those who may not be able to cope with the pressure of university education .
According to him, "while federal universities which are the cheapest in the country are grappling with the overwhelming number of applicants, all the polytechnic institutions in Nigeria do not have up to 20, 000 applicants"

      He promised that UI would be fair to every applicant in selecting the 3, 500 that the system could accommodate , pointing out that "you don't need to know anybody before being admitted once you meet all the requirements .
