Many candidates usually ask the question, “what next after JAMB?” or what do I do next after seeing my JAMB result? It is usually believed that once you score 200 and above that your admission is sure. That is not totally true. Every year, many candidates who score 200 and above end up not getting admission while those who scored less than 200 end up getting admission. So if you score 200 and above, that does not automatically mean that you will secure admission this year. It is only a stepping stone. On the other hand, if you scored less than 200, that does not equally mean that you do not have a chance of securing admission this year. So the questions is what are the necessary steps I’m suppose to take after seeing my JAMB result to secure admission in to a higher institution this year? The answer to that questions is what this post is all about. Let’s point out and explain the steps you are supposed to take to secure admission after your JAMB result has been released. Know Th...

The National Examinations Council  (NECO)  has announced the postponement of the 2020 common entrance examination into 104 Unity schools due to the  Coronavirus   outbreak. This is coming few hours after the Joint Admission Board  (JAMB) suspended all its services nationwide in order to curtail the spread of Coronavirus. The examination body however announced that registration for the examination continues despite the postponement of the exam.

WAEC has cancelled the 2020 WASSCE for school candidates over the raging spread of coronavirus WAEC's head of national office in Nigeria, Patrick Ehidiamen Areghan, said that the examination has been postponed indefinitely However, Areghan informed candidates that a new date will be made public once the health situation improves in relation to the disease

With many candidates having seen their JAMB results, the question they are now asking is the possibility of gaining admission to their desired school and course of choice with their score; especially those that scored below 200. I have received many questions like, “My score is 150, 160, 170, 180, Can I get admission in so so school?” This post is to address your questions. I will make it easy and straight forward to understand. JAMB score alone does not really guarantee admission. Your admission will also depend on your school of choice and course as well as other admission factors. I have seen candidates that scored well above 200 but ended up not gaining admission and I have equally seen candidates that scored below 180 and yet secured admission. Assuming your JAMB score is 200 and you chose a school like UNILORIN, UNIBEN or UNILAG to study a competitive course (like engineering, medicine, computer science, Law etc) you should consider changing either the school or the course r...

Are you among the candidates having issues or problems checking their results? If you have been unable to see your 2020 JAMB result, this post is for you. You must know that at this time, the only method JAMB has provided for candidates to check their results is the Text/SMS method.  However, we believe that they are already aware that some candidates are unable to check their results using that method. So we believe that they will definitely make provision for such candidates to either check results via the board’s website with their registration numbers or the candidates’ profiles. So candidates having issues checking their results are advised to exercise a bit of patience as they would be able to check theirs soon unless yours is among the ones withheld for various irregularities. Solution To Result Checking Issues 1. Ensure the Phone number you are using to send RESULT to 55019 must be the one you provided during JAMB registration. If you have lost the Phone num...

We have received reports that JAMB has changed the dates of some candidates scheduled for the 2020 JAMB exam next week, some candidates disclosed that they received notifications from JAMB that  their  examination has been moved to March  20th ,  21st,  and  22nd . This was also confirmed by JAMB  via its twitter page. According to JAMB, the 2020 examinations were initially scheduled to end on Saturday  21st  March 2020 with the  exception  of candidates from Rivers State and  Bayelsa State  who were scheduled for the exam next week. The board, therefore, asked all candidates in the two states to reprint  their  exam slips in order to know  their new dates for the exam. We  believe  this sudden change is in connection  with  the current measures by both the Federal and State governments to curtail the  spread  of coronavirus. We hereby advise all candidates who were in...
