Federal University Otuoke (FUOTUOKE) has announced a mandatory screening interview for Law program applicants who participated in the 2024 Post-UTME exercise. This interview is a final requirement for admission into the Faculty of Law for the 2024/2025 academic session.

Interview Date and Time

Date: Friday, May 2, 2025
Time: 9:00 a.m. sharp
Venue: Postgraduate Hall, West Campus, Federal University Otuoke, Bayelsa State

Punctuality is critical. Arriving late could jeopardize your admission opportunity, so plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Who Should Attend?

This screening interview is specifically for candidates who:

• Applied for admission into the Faculty of Law at FUOTUOKE
• Participated in the 2024 Post-UTME screening exercise
• Are seeking admission for the 2024/2025 academic session

If you meet these criteria, attendance is mandatory. This is not optional.

Required Documents

You must bring the following documents to the screening interview:

1. Post-UTME Application Completion Slip: Your original slip showing you completed the Post-UTME registration and screening
2. Original Credentials: Your O-Level results (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB), JAMB result slip, and any other relevant certificates
3. Photocopies of Credentials: Make multiple copies of all your documents for submission

It's wise to organize these documents in a folder the night before to avoid last-minute stress. Double-check that you have everything on the list.

What Happens If You Miss the Interview?

The university has made it clear: "Failure to appear for the screening interview on the scheduled date shall be deemed as forfeiture of the admission opportunity."

This means:

• There will be no second chance or alternative date
• Skipping this interview automatically disqualifies you from admission
• Your Post-UTME performance becomes irrelevant if you don't attend

Mark this date clearly on your calendar and make arrangements to be present, regardless of any other commitments you might have.

Preparing for the Interview

While specific interview questions aren't public, Law admission screenings typically assess:

• Why you want to study Law: Have a clear, genuine answer about your motivation
• Current affairs knowledge: Stay informed about recent legal and political developments in Nigeria
• Communication skills: Practice speaking clearly and confidently
• General knowledge: Brush up on basic Nigerian constitution and legal principles

If you want to review key legal concepts or practice general knowledge questions that might come up, you can use Ulearngo's practice platform to strengthen your foundation.
