UNN cancels Post-Utme 2012/2013 screening exercise

News has it that the ongoing post utme examinations in the University of Nigeria Nsukka for the 2012/2013 session has been cancelled. Sources claim this is because of leaked exam questions caused by the very long delay in starting the exams on the first day being 18th june. On the fateful day, exams were scheduled for 8am but in usual fashion,didn’t start on time. Many centres started and finished late and candidates even complained of having forgotten what they had read. However, candidates writing for medicine and surgery who were supposed to write at the ekpo convocation arena hadn’t yet written as at 10pm. A candidate called yours truly at about 11:15pm saying he just came out of the hall.

There were other stories of candidates finishing by 1am and even later and some fainting afterwards. Since the exam questions are the same, those who had written earlier had leaked out the exam questions to the latter group. The school authorities found out and cancelled both yesterday’s exams and todays’ which had not yet started. In some centres where answer scripts had already been circulated they were called back and the candidates were asked to leave.
