A female candidate fainted on Wednesday during the post-UTME exercise of
the University of Lagos (UNILAG). The candidate, identified as Sharon
Adenekan by a nurse, was taken to the school health’s centre after
slumping as a result of exhaustion.
“The only student who
fainted during the exam was a girl and she was discharged later in the
evening, after which she went to write her exam,” the nurse told
TheCable Lifestyle. “Her sisters even came to look for her at night but
we told them that she had been discharged.”
Prospective students
of the school who partook in the exercise lamented that it was fraught
with disorderliness and that they were kept waiting for hours in
inclement conditions.
The post-UTME exercise, which was still
ongoing around 8:30pm, was held at the school’s Distance Learning Centre
and the ETC Test Centre.
The exercise was conducted in batches.
A candidate who wrote his exam during the first batch said they sat in halls for several hours before writing their tests.
“Got
there past 8:00am and entered. We had to sit from hall to hall until
around 4pm that I got to the CBT centre at DLI, unfortunately again,
they said my centre had been changed to ETC and that a message was sent
in that regard but I got none,” said the candidate who refused to be
named.
Another candidate said she could not write her post-UTME
test until 7pm “and I was supposed to write it by 1:20pm. The whole
thing was stressful and annoying”.
She added: “The exam was
hectic due to the way and manner in which UNILAG conducted it. The did
not stick to the time given on our exam pass.”
The post-UTME test is expected to continue on Thursday.
