What JAMB Score Do I Need To Gain Admission?

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 reason being that those courses are very competitive in those schools (meaning a large number of candidates who may have a higher score than you are equally seeking admission in such schools or courses). So for you to stand a better chance of gaining admission you have to adjust your choices.
The same thing applies to someone that scored like 150 and wants to study political science, Mass communication, Buss admin in a school like LASU, AAU or any other competitive state university. Those courses are quite competitive in those schools so you have to adjust your choices as well. In this case, a polytechnic is a better choice.
So in essence, what I am saying is you have to consider your JAMB score and then decide if you stand a chance to compete for admission in your school of choice as well as the course. If not, you have to check for schools and courses that give you a better chance to compete for admission and change to those schools or courses. Checking the previous cut-off marks of the school for the various courses offered will help you sort these things out.
When it comes to JAMB score, the rule is this, if your score is below or not well above the general cut-off mark of your school of choice, it is advisable you change the school. Similarly, If your score is below or not well above the cut-off mark for your chosen course of study, it is advisable you change your course.
Soon JAMB will commence change of courses and institutions. We will inform you once it commences and guidelines on how to proceed.
In conclusion, JAMB scores alone no matter how high may give you an edge in the admission process but do not guarantee admission. Other factors like Catchment Area, Post-UTME Score, O’level Result, Educationally less developed States, admission quota etc also play a huge role in determining who gets admission.

JAMB Announces How many Times Candidates Can Change Course/Institution

  For JAMB candidates asking, “How Many Times Can I Do Change of Course and Institution?”, “Can I change My course and institution again after changing it the first time?” JAMB has officially answered your question. Read details below; Before now candidates who wish to effect changes on either their course and institution could only do it twice (2 times). However, things have changed. Now, changing of course/institution can now be done as many times as possible provided you’re ready to pay for it, have the requirements to study the course and institution you are changing to and if the school you are changing to is still allowing candidates to change to it. So candidates are allowed to change as many times as they want, provided they meet the requirements and conditions as state above. However, candidates against going to unapproved CBT centres for their change of course/ Institution and data correction. This is to avoid mistakes during the process. JAMB or institutions will no...

Ten daily habits that damage the brain

The human brain is the most important organ of our body and we all fail to think it also requires exercise or training and nutrition to function well. Thus, forming good habits and avoiding the following bad habits will prevent brain damage and keep it healthy. Here are 10 brain-damaging activities that you must stop doing for better functioning of the brain: 1. Skipping breakfast Our brain needs appropriate nutrients at the appropriate time to function at its best. Due to a fast paced lifestyle, most of us avoid or end up skipping breakfast to save some time. This leads to low sugar supply and poor nutrient supply to the brain. The brain needs pure glucose to function. Poor nutrition can have long term harmful effects on the brain like degeneration of the brain cells. 2. Lack of sleep Sleep deprivation hinders the brain’s ability to perform normally. If you have ever lost your way home or forgotten your keys somewhere and cannot recollect where, then lack of sleep has pr...
