The key difference is that Post-UTME is a type of screening that includes a written or computer-based examination, while online screening is a broader term that may or may not involve an exam, but typically involves only document verification and O'level result assessment for admissions. In essence, a Post-UTME exam can be conducted online, but not all online screenings are Post-UTME exams.
Post-UTME (Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination)
What it is:
A competitive examination conducted by individual institutions after the main JAMB UTME.
Purpose:
To assess candidates' suitability for a specific course by testing their knowledge in relevant subjects.
Format:
Can be a written or computer-based test (CBT).
Selection:
Admission is based on a combination of JAMB scores, Post-UTME scores, and O'level results.
Online Screening
What it is:
A process where candidates submit documents online for verification by the institution.
Purpose:
To verify O'level results, JAMB scores, and other relevant documents for admission.
Format:
Involves uploading documents (like O'level results, JAMB result, and passport photos) to a school portal.
Selection:
Selection is based on O'level results, JAMB scores, and other relevant documents, without a written exam.
Key Distinction
"Online screening" is the method
used to process applications and can refer to the entire screening process, which may be a Post-UTME exam or a document-based assessment.
"Post-UTME" is a specific type of screening
that includes an examination to evaluate candidates' subject knowledge. Some institutions use online screening to administer their Post-UTME exams, while others only conduct document-based online screening.
