50,000 for Yabatech’s post UTME

At least 50, 000 candidates have so far applied for the 2013/2014 post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) test in the Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech), Lagos.
The Head of the institution's Public Relations
Unit, Mr Adekunle Adams, gave the figure in an
interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Tuesday.
Adams said that the application would end on
August 30, disclosing that the test would hold on Sept. 3 and Sept. 4.
"Twenty venues within the institution have been
mapped out for the test; the test will be in two
sessions – morning and afternoon, '' he said.
He told NAN that a session would last for an
hour.
"Measures have been put in place for security of
lives and property," he said.
Adams urged candidates to observe all rules and
regulations guiding the test.
"Candidates should shun any act that can
disqualify them. We shall maintain discipline and academic excellence which we are known for, " Adams said.
He could not say how many candidates would be
absorbed by the college but told NAN that the
number would be higher due to increased
facilities and number of courses.
"The National Board for Technical Education has
approved more courses this session; this will
increase the number of intakes compared to the
number absorbed last session, " he added.
Adams said that the post UTME would be a
combination of the new examination mode –
Computer-Based Test (CBT) – and the usual Paper and Pencil Test (PPT).
He said that the introduction of CBT was in line
with technological advancement. (NAN)
