Adamu Adamu, the minister of education, made this known in Abuja on Wednesday, The Nation reports.
He said universities, polytechnics and other institutions were free to organise post-UTME screening as a pre-condition to gaining admission into public institutions.
Adamu had last year announced the ban of post-UTME at a combined policy meeting on admissions.
But while announcing a reversal of the ban, he urged the institutions and its authorities to make the fees for the post-UTME screening affordable.
“We are going to allow universities to have some choice. Universities can now decide to organise post-UTME, if they want,” he said.
“We have asked them not to impose huge financial burden on the parents. The burden should not be more than what they can bear.”
