UNN Post UTME Syllabus 2025: Area of Concentration for Aspirants

The UNN Post UTME Syllabus 2025 resembles the JAMB syllabus but the two are not the same.

Expect questions that require more knowledge on JAMB topics. There are also questions that are not repeated frequently. Past questions are not really a blueprint. They are just guides for you to follow, so don’t depend entirely on them. UNN Post UTME questions involve logic, not crammed definitions.

Now, let us analyze the real subjects.

UNN Post UTME Syllabus 2025 for Science Students (Area of Concentration)

And here are five core subjects: English, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology.

The questions will be based on SS1 to SS3, but you should pay particular attention to core competence. And it means paying attention to principles and not just memorizing their decisions.

English

And no matter what department you are in, you should learn English.

Key Areas to Focus On:

– Lexis and Structure – Antonyms, Synonyms, Sentence Structure, Tenses

– Reading Comprehension – Practice inference, tone, and purpose

– Oral English – Though rare, understand stress and intonation basics

– Vocabulary Development – Context clues, root words

Tips: UNN, occasionally, provides passages that differ in style from JAMB. Try to practice with news articles/fiction and essays.

Mathematics

This is mandatory in the case of engineering, physical sciences, computer science, and part of health courses.

Focus Areas to focus on 

– Algebraic Expressions and Equations

– Logarithms

– Sets and Venn Diagrams

– Probability & Statistics (Know how to compute mean, median, and mode)

– Mensuration (Area, Volume, etc.)

– Trigonometry

– Graphs (Linear and Quadratic)

– Number Bases

– Surds and Indices

Tip: UNN Post UTME math is simplified. Its precision is of more importance than complicated calculations.

Physics

This subject is actually very essential in engineering and physical sciences.

Areas of Concentration:

– Motion (Laws of Motion, Velocity, Acceleration)

– Work, Energy, Power

– Light and Optics (Lenses, Reflection, Refraction)

– Electricity (Ohm’s Law, Circuit Theory, Current and Voltage Calculations)

– Waves (Sound and Light)

– Heat and Temperature

– Magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction

Ensure that you are able to answer numerical questions and also theory-based questions.

Chemistry

There is similarity in the format of the UNN Post UTME Physics and Chemistry syllabuses. It is simple but practice-based.

Focus Areas:

– Atomic Structure & Periodic Table

– Chemical Bonding

– Electrolysis and Redox Reactions

– Rates of Reaction

– Gas Laws

Tip: Get acquainted with lab instruments, their names, and their functions. UNN is inclined to give practical tests.

Biology

This subject is a high-scoring area when well prepared. It is usually very detailed and therefore tricky.

Key Areas:

– Cell Structure and Functions

– Plant and Animal Nutrition

– Photosynthesis and Respiration

– Reproduction (in Plants and Humans)

– Ecology and Food Chain

– Transport System (in Plants and Animals)

– Nervous Coordination and Endocrine System

– Genetics (Mendelian and Molecular)

You should not ignore definitions and diagrams, as sometimes these compose complete questions.

Tips from Former UNN Students

We reached out to five students from different departments who aced their Post UTME. Here’s a distilled version of their advice:

– “Don’t just read textbooks. Read the original materials used in WAEC and JAMB.” – Emeka (Medicine)

– “Get familiar with CBT, even if it means borrowing a laptop for practice.” – Ada (Law)

– “Study early, then just revise in the final weeks.” – Dayo (Engineering)

– “UNN sets trick questions. Read each question twice.” – Preye (Mass Comm)

– “Don’t ignore English. That’s where most finally lose marks.” – Uche (Economics)

Conclusion

Preparing for the UNN Post UTME 2025 is less about pushing more hours into your day and more about directing your energy towards the right materials. By studying the areas outlined in this UNN Post UTME Syllabus 2025, you give yourself a serious advantage over thousands of others who are still guessing.
