JAMB Fixes New date For Conduct of Post-UTME and Admission Process


the joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a new date for institutions to conduct Post-UTME and begin the admission process for the 2020/2021 academic session. The new date was decided at a meeting between the JAMB and Vice-Chancellors, Rectors, and Provosts of tertiary institutions on Monday.

According to the JAMB Registrar, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, who made the announcement, the screening exercise for the 2020/2021 session will now hold between September 7 and November 18.

Oloyede stated that the reason for the adjustment in date is to allow students to take the 2020 O’ level examinations to be able to participate in the screening and the admission process for this year.

He said, “Presently as you are aware, WAEC starts the Senior School Certificate Examination on August 17, it will go on till September 7.

“Similarly, on September 21 or thereabout, NABTEB will commence its examination that will go on till on the 15 of October, and immediately after that, NECO starts on the 5th and will hold till 18 of November.

“Rather than making candidates run, particularly, when they will have to write their school certificate exam in different towns and rush to university elsewhere for post-UTME, like somebody rushing from Sokoto to Ibadan for post-UTME, we believe as a custodian of the highest sector of the education system, we should avoid that.

“For those (institutions) who want to take post-UTME, that cannot be earlier than the 7th of September and it will be held twice – September 7 to October 4, and then it will be held for the second time on the 18 November to mop up those who are taking their school certificate examination.”


This is an opportunity for candidates to prepare very well for the screening exercise. We advise that you get the official Post-UTME Past Questions And Answers of your school of choice. This will enable you to prepare adequately for the screening exercise.

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 r...

BACKUP PLANS: What's your plan B

Once in a while, in our lifetime,we’ve planned out routines and it ends up not going as planned. It might not be a mistake from you, it's phenomenal and common among the world population. Some things that may cause things not fall in place as planned might be disasters, unexpected events, forgetfulness and nature itself (rainfall or sunshine). Whenever something don't go as planned, we lost things, it might be time, money, property or even life.now what if your plan don't go well, how/what will you do to put it back in place. That's where plan B comes into play. Without backup plans we end up being frustrated, furious, angry, loss of concentration, mentally and physically depressed, anxious, etc. For this reason, we should always endeavour to have backup plans so as not to be drifted from the lane because of common failures. Backup plans are plans that endeavour to put us back in track and hence, reduce losses that are commonly caused by failures of the previous pl...

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...
