The University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) management has announced a new date for the University 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

This is contained in a statement signed by Chris Igbokwe, the university’s registrar, in Nsukka on Friday.

According to the registrar, January 25, being day one, the Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Basic Medical Science, Faculty of Biological Sciences and Faculty of Business Administration will take the exam.

“On the second day, January 26, will be for Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Vocational and Technical Education, Faculty of Environmental Studies, Faculty of Physical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences,” he further stated. “The third day, being January 27 will be the turn of Faculty of Health Science & Technology and Faculty of Engineering.
