About the programme
This post-UTME interview tests your readiness for the reasoning and sustained learning required in computer science. The panel may explore logic, school-level maths, problem decomposition and whether your interest goes beyond everyday technology use.
How to prepare
- Revise algebra, sets, basic probability and logical reasoning from your school syllabus.
- Practise describing a simple process as precise steps with inputs, decisions and an outcome.
- Read about major areas of computer science so you can explain what genuinely interests you.
- Prepare an example of learning a difficult maths or technical idea through repeated practice.
- Check the institution's official post-UTME information for the current screening format and requirements.
Common mistakes
- Saying you chose the course only because you enjoy using computers.
- Giving an answer to a logic problem without explaining how you reached it.
- Claiming advanced coding knowledge that you cannot demonstrate or explain.
