How to prepare for success in the 2018-2019 Unilag Foundation Programme entrance examination

The Unilag Foundation Programme from the School of Foundation Studies, Unilag is an intensive one year programme where candidates are taught subjects in line with JUPEB Syllabus. At the end of the programme successful candidates are eligible for admission into the 200 level of Degree Programmes of Unilag through JAMB direct entry. The application form to the 2018-2019 foundation programme is expected to be released in the next few weeks.

Unilag conducts entrance examinations yearly into the foundation programme. However, many applicants fail the entrance examination due to poor preparation.

Ways a candidate can prepare for success in the entrance examination are:

  3. We have free foundation programme past questions that can be downloaded from our website at our past questions page (Click here) . You need to register on our website to have access to the download page.

The Foundation Programme entrance exam consists of 85 questions in five subjects to be answered in 60 minutes. It is essentially a knock-out examination and the right approach to preparation makes all the difference for success.

We prepare candidates mentally and psychologically so they know what they need to do to get it right on exam day. Our preparation programme is spread over 6 – 8 weeks to condition our candidates for success.
