The University of Ibadan (UI) has given a lifeline to 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidates who scored less than 200.
The director of the Distance Learning Centre, Professor Babatunde Omobowale, said such candidates and those who could not sit for the 2024 UTME can gain admission through its open distance e-learning offers.
According to Vanguard, Omobowale stated this while speaking with newsmen in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.
He explained that distance e-learning offers a flexible, open, online, and seamless blended learning experience for students.
The erudite professor added that learners are allowed to join live lectures in real-time and have authentic learning experiences from home, office, on the go or anywhere they are.
Omobowale students are to pay only N50,000 to register and pay the balance before the exams.
He also said the programme will officially commence in the first week of September 2024, TheCable reports.
“Those who scored below 200 in JAMB UTME or did not sit for the UTME can also take advantage of this opportunity, and enrol in any of the university undergraduate programmes in ODeL mode, including BSc Computer Science, BSc Economics, BSc Sociology, BSc Psychology, BSc Political Science, BA Communications and Language Arts, Bachelor of Social Work, and Bachelor of Nursing Science, among others.”
He disclosed that students who seek inter-university transfers into UI ODeL programmes are also welcome.
“Such students only need to forward their letter of interest and current transcripts in NUC-accredited programmes from their current university whether private or public university.”
