I am taking a case study of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS) and one of my main focus is the feasibility of getting an admission into the University!

From the question papers I examined, the exam was pretty up to standard for my recognition, that’s a plus. I study Physics in the same university and I will really say the Physics part of the post-ume science is really A-Level, no doubts!

Every candidate was expected to answer four (4) subjects just like they did with JAMB. But here, each subject had 4 questions, which obviously means 5marks for each question. Notably, according to their pledge, each student is expected to have an aggregate score of 40marks to qualify for an admission.

So I’d finally say that for those who wrote the exam… If you answered  minimum of 2 questions correctly for each subject, you’re on a high chance of admission for the 2010/11 session! Anything bellow this, means you’re doomed!

It appears the university is taking a 40% pass as the admission cutoff point which alright, but what if more students than they expected crossed the 40% silver-line? That means, your JAMB Score will come to play! So, if you passed post-ume, you are also required to have passed above average the JAMB Examination.
