       DELSU To Conduct Aptitude Test For 2017 Admission Screening
       Exercise

       The Delta State university (DELSU) has disclosed that it will
       conduct an aptitude test for candidates applying for the 2017
       admission into undergraduate programmes offered in the
       university.
       This was disclosed by the Registrar of the university, Daniel
       Urhibo when contacted by newsmen.
       He however stated that the aptitude test the school is going to
       conduct is quite different from the one conducted by JAMB and it
       will be computer-based.
       When asked to state the difference between the computer based
       test the school is going to conduct and the Post-UTME test that
       was abolished by JAMB last year, the Registrar told newsmen that
       the Federal Government did not scrap post-UTME test.
       He explained: “It is the same agency of the government that said
       ‘you can select your students’.
       “Twenty-six thousand candidates applied to DELSU; how do you
       select, may be 5,000 or 6,000? There must be some kind of
       uniform test to assess them.
       “Last year, we asked them to submit their secondary school
       results and we graded them. Do you know that people claiming to
       have ‘A’s in their results could not write their names?
       “Some of them had forged results. We went to the internet and
       discovered that somebody who claimed to have scored 300 in UTME
       had just 120.
       “So, if you use that type, you won’t get the best; that is why
       there is some kind of a little aptitude test for them.”
       Regarding the N5000 candidates are expected to pay for the
       screening as against the 2,500 approved by the federal
       Government last year, he said that the N5000 is to cover the
       cost of the aptitude test as the schools is not in good
       financial position to cover the cost.
       He mentioned that the school need money to get materials for the
       test, pay those that will administer the aptitude test and mark
       it as well as service its computers and develop the software for
       the test.
