SECRETS BEHIND ADMISSION SUCCESS

A lot of students are preparing for the unexpected POST JAMB exam which was said to have been scrapped. The bitter truth is that not all the students will be admitted into the university or polytechnics.

But there are things you need to know that will give you more advantages over other competitors. Yeah, they are your competitors even your best friend is.

For instance, let me take a particular product as an example like indomie, you know that indomie also have competitors in which you know that Dangote is part of. But have you ever thought of how indomie has been on top despite the strong competition, it is simple, they do more of advertisement, promo and other thing to keep their product relevant. That is the advantage i am talking about. I am sorry i deviated a bit but i am sure that it really help you understand what i was saying.

POST OUTLINES

1. Why students do not gain admission.
2. Why students gain admission.

Looking at the two outlines above, you will notice that they are opposite to each other. You need to know why people gain admission once and others have been trying for the past three years without gaining admission to any higher institutions. I think i am the right person to discus this topic to you because i have passed through this before, i mean i have been in a stage of not gaining admission and also in a stage of gaining admission. You see that i am the right person for this article/topic.

WHY PEOPLE DO NOT GAIN ADMISSION

I saw a particular news about a student who got admitted into OAU (Obafemi Awolowo University). According to the news, this student have been applying for OAU for the past six consecutive years but all to no avail. This news broke out last year when he got admitted at last into OAU, which mean that he has been applying for OAU since 2010. Although I applaud him for his persistence but on the other hand, I saw that as a waste of time. If you don’t know what a whole six years can do, i will tell you now;

1. Within six years, you will study Pharmacy and complete your NYSC service (without strikes).
2. Within six years, you will complete your masters program and also complete your phD program.
3. Within six years, a baby would have started walking and speaking english fluently.
4. Within six year, a student will finish his Secondary School Education.

Let me stop there, i hope you now see my point. What i am trying to pass across to you is that, if you are trying a particular method and it is not working, please and please, you need to try something new.

Another reason is that student don’t get the right information that will aid their admisson success. What kind of information do you think i am talking about, i am talking information like this one you are reading and other post of this blog. So if you are reading this post, then definitely you really want to pass your exams and get admitted. As they say, information is power, also if you don’t get informed,you will be deformed.

Another possible reason is that students don’t get prepared for the required exams like JAMB and POST UME exam. This exams are what you need for any admission into Nigerian universities apart from other admission program like JUPEB, IJMB etc. You should take your preparation for this exams very serious by reading your books according to the syllabus provided by JAMB, answering past JAMB questions and also attending tutorials. I have posted how to pass both JAMB and POST JAMB on my blog, you can read them after reading this post/article.

Another possible reason is that students usually do mistakes when applying for the JAMB/POST UME. What do i mean by mistakes? Mistakes like spelling your name wrongly, giving the wrong data(s) about yourself etc. This mistakes have a way of affecting one’s admission.
Another possible reason is that most students are below the age requirement of the school. Most schools need students that are sixteen years old and above, though some schools still admit students below sixteen years old but to be on the safe side, it is better you are sixteen and above.

WHY STUDENTS GAIN ADMISSION

Yeah, this one is very important to discuss. Have you ever come to think of it that why did Mr A got admitted despite have average mark in JAMB/ POST UME. Please i don’t want you to think that connection is everything, No, students still gain admission without any connection.

Take notice of those students that got admitted despite having average mark in JAMB, you will notice that they applied for a lower course which have low competition in the particular university, that is why i will always advise any one that if you put in for medicine and surgery, and you didn’t get up to expectation, change your course to a lower one like biochemistry, microbiology etc. The truth is that you can cross from those course to medicine and surgery later in the future.

Take notice of those students that gain admission, you will notice that they started their preparation very early. Imagine someone preparing to write JAMB exam and he/she started reading a week before the exam, don’t let us decieve ourselves, such person won’t pass the exam. Preparing early is the key to pass JAMB. When i was planning to sit for JAMB exam,i started my preparation three months before the date of the exam. Now tell the reason why i won’t have gotten above 300 in JAMB.
Take notice on students that got admitted, you will notice that they made no error in their JAMB application and they meet up with the age requirement of the school.

I want to use this medium to advise all students seeking admission into the higher institution, if you see that JAMB is not going through, you can try another method like IJMB, JUPEB, Pre-degree, Diploma etc. Though they may be cost but it is better than wasting your time at home for more than four years.

And for those who are reading this article/post and you are yet preparing for JAMB exam, i will advise you not to see JAMB as a big thing, JAMB is simple but the fear people have for JAMB exam has been making them fail to get admitted into the university.

As for those students that say that it is only university they want to attend, despite been admitted by polytechnics, i will advise you not to reject polytechnic admission offer, you can be attending polytechnic and be preparing for the upcoming JAMB exam.

JAMB CUT-OFF VS UNI. CUT OFF

Today topic me and you need to address is the cut off mark, since it is the trending thing in the educational news. According to JAMB news, cut off mark for all schools will be release on 21st August, 2017 but those that mean that if you pass above this JAMB cut off mark, you will be admitted, the answer to this question is what i want to address to Nigerian students participating in this year’s admission processes. This brings us to the topic of today: difference and similarities between JAMB and University cut off mark.

Yeah, both sounds familiar but they shouldn’t be taken for one another, JAMB cut off and University cut off marks are similar in some aspect and also different in some aspect as well. As a serious student, i don’t need to start telling you that cut off mark is the benchmark a student must attain before he or she is considered for admission.

Before I start to compare and contrast between the two, i will like to engage my readers to share what they understand by the word “cut off mark”. Use the comment box below to share your opinion.

POST OUTLINES

1. Difference between JAMB cut-off mark and University cut-off mark.

2. Similarities between JAMB cut-off mark and University cut-off mark.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JAMB CUT OFF MARK AND UNIVERSITY CUT OFF MARK

By the name, you should have known that the number one difference between the two is that JAMB cut off mark is set by JAMB body while University cut off mark is set by respective universities in Nigeria.
Another important thing for you to take note is that JAMB cut off mark does not guarantee your admission, your admission is guaranteed by the University cut off mark. What do I mean? You need illustration? Okay, let me illustrate my point;

Assuming Mr A got 210 in JAMB and 65% in screening, then JAMB cut off mark is set at 200 and University cut off mark is set at 70% which means that Mr A scaled through JAMB cut off mark but Mr A didn’t meet up with the University cut off mark, therefore Mr A is denied admission or sometimes might be given a lesser course to study.

From the illustration above, JAMB cut off mark only act as the gateway to qualify for the University screening or exam while University cut off mark act as the gateway to qualify for admission. You get my point? Yeah, let’s continue.

Also, JAMB cut off mark is specific on the University while the University cut off mark is specific on the courses which the school offer. I know you will be asking what do i mean, an illustration will be better to explain this better.

Let us use UNILAG as a case study, assuming JAMB set the cut off mark for UNILAG to be 200, it implies that all the student that choose UNILAG and score above 200 in JAMB are valid for the UNILAG screening. Also if UNILAG set the cut off mark for Law to be 70%, then all candidates that applied for law and scored above 70% will be valid for admission. For more understanding, see this;

JAMB cut off mark —>valid for university screening—>university cut off mark—>valid for admission.

The chain above have explained all i have been trying to explain.

SIMILARITIES BETWEEN JAMB AND UNIVERSITY CUT OFF MARK

There are no much similarities between both of them but the aim of both cut off marks is to select the best out of the candidates that applied for admission.

Don’t forget to do what i told you to do, I know you might have forgotten, but let me remind you, the task is told you to do is to give your own opinion on what you understand by “cut off mark”. Use the comment box to share your opinion and thoughts.

ADMISSION TERMS AND MEANINGS

In my previous post, I explained factors that determines cut-off mark for schools and for course (JAMB and University cut off mark). I made mention that the main factor that determines cut-off mark is “statistics”,which means the number of applicants that choose a particular school or course. If you didn’t read it, you can read it here after reading this post.

In this post, i want to shed light on some admission terms which we all use on a daily basis.

As you all know, this blog is all about giving you the best admission tips for a successful admission process. You can check more posts on this blog for more admission tips you might need or you can contact me if you have any admission issues bothering you.

POST OUTLINES

1. Cut-off mark.
2. Post ume/Screening.
3. One/Two sitting result.
4. Admission list.
5. Original JAMB result.
6. Jamb brochure.
7. JAMB syllabus.
8. JAMB past questions.
9. Change of course/ institution.
10. Direct entry.

Back to the main aim of this post, I am going to list and explain ten admission terms, also you can give us more by using the comment box below.

CUT-OFF MARK

As a student, you should be familiar with this term and if you are not, i will explain it to you. Cut off mark is the benchmark or let me say boundary at which a student must reach before been offered admission into a university. Cut-off mark is in two sections; JAMB cut off mark and University cut off mark. In the University cut off mark, some states are usually favoured, that is what they call “catchment area”. I have already explain the difference between JAMB cut-off mark and University cut-off mark on this blog, you didn’t read it? Read it here.

POST UME/SCREENING

After the scraping of POST UME exam, schools have now introduced another system of admission which they call SCREENING. Screening are in two forms; it can be in form of physical interview also it can be in form of grading of results (point system). On this blog, i have explained the questions asked during screening and how to answer them. Also, i have explained things you might need for upcoming screening.

ONE/TWO SITTING RESULT

This is common term in admission process. One/two sitting result simply refer to the number of results you are using for your admission application. For one sitting, it is either you use WAEC result,GCE result or NECO result, while for two sitting, it is either you use WAEC and GCE results, GCE and NECO results or WAEC and NECO results.

ADMISSION LIST

After all the admission processes, this is always the expectation of all aspirants. The admission list contain names of successful candidates that applied for admission. It is always released in batch, what i mean is that we have “First list” which is also called “Merit list”,”second list” and sometimes “third list”.

ORIGINAL JAMB RESULT

This is one thing every candidates that want to apply for admission must possess. This result is different from the ordinary JAMB result that you printed out when your JAMB result was released, the original JAMB result is used for admission processes. How do I get the original JAMB result? Simple, you will have to purchase a scratch card worth #2500 in order to print the original JAMB result.

JAMB BROCHURE

This is a material that all “jambites (candidates preparing for JAMB exam)”. This material includes the name of courses to study in university and their requirements; requirements like the subject combination for your course and universities that offer those courses.

JAMB SYLLABUS

This is also a material that all “Jambites (candidates preparing for JAMB exam) ” in order to pass the exam easily. This material includes the subjects to do in JAMB exam and the area of concentration for the student to read.

JAMB PAST QUESTION

I expect all candidates preparing for JAMB exam to be familiar with JAMB past question. JAMB past question includes all the previous years questions of JAMB exam, this past question helps the candidates to know the way JAMB set their questions.

CHANGE OF COURSE/INSTITUTION

This is done after the JAMB exam. It is all about changing your course of study or your university for certain reasons like not scoring up to expectation for the course and so on. How do I change my course/institution? Simple, you will have to buy a scratch card which is #2500, after that, you will login to JAMB portal and follow the due process. To make things easier, go to the cybercafe, they will help you change the course/institution.

DIRECT ENTRY

This is another way to gain admission into the university. This method of admission into the university is only valid for polytechnics student that have finish his/her ND level. If admitted by the University, they enter 200 level immediately without passing through 100 level.

FACTORS THAT DETERMINE CUT-OFF MARKS

In my previous post, i explained the difference between JAMB cut off mark and University cut off mark. I made mention that JAMB cut off mark does not guarantee your admission, your admission is guaranteed by the University cut off mark, if you didn’t read it, you can read it here.

Both JAMB cut off mark and University cut off mark are determined based on the same factor which is “statistic”. What do I mean by statistic?

Statistics means the number of applicants for the school, number of applicants for the course, number of pass rate in JAMB or POST UME, and number of fail rate in JAMB and POST UME. I will explain them for you, so read attentively.

POST OUTLINES

1. Number of applicants for the school.

2. Number of applicants for the course.

3. Number of pass rate.

4. Number of fail rate.

NUMBER OF APPLICANTS FOR THE SCHOOL

This matters alot when determining the JAMB cut off mark of the school. Also, you should know that it is JAMB that determines the cut off mark for a school ( i am referring to the JAMB cut off mark), which means the school can go above the cut off mark to admit students but they should not go below the cut off mark.

Remember cut off mark is a benchmark, in other words,it is a boundary the University should not pass. For example, you can’t expect cut off mark for EKSU to be higher than the cut off mark for OAU simply because the number of applicants that opt in for OAU is always higher than the number of applicants that opt in for EKSU every year. Most times, the highest cut off mark JAMB can set for a school is 220 based on previous years cut off mark.

NUMBER OF APPLICANTS FOR THE COURSE

In this case, JAMB does not have a say in setting the cut off mark, it is actually the school that set the cut off marks for each courses. You scoring high mark in school POST UME ot SCREENINIG does not guarantee your admission, your admission is guaranteed by you surpassing the cut off mark for your course.

A student that choose medicine and surgery and got 75% in POST UME or screening can not be compared to a student that choose microbiology and got the same 75%,why? The student that choose microbiology might eventually get admitted since the number of applicants for the course is less but the student that choose medicine and surgery might find it hard to gain admission simply because the number of applicants are too much thereby giving the student a slim chance to surpass the cut off mark.

All i am trying to say is that the cut off mark for courses are determined by the number of respective applicants that applied for the courses.

NUMBER OF PASS RATE

This factor also play an important role in determining the cut off mark for a course or JAMB cut off mark. Due to this reason, the higher the pass rate the higher the cut off mark for a course.

Assuming a course like medicine and surgery has 100 admission slot, out of the multitude that opt in for medicine and surgery, let us say 180 students got above 75% in the school screening, definitely the cut off mark for medicine and surgery will increase.

Remember that the pass rate is directly proportional to the cut off mark for the course.

NUMBER OF FAIL RATE

This also has effect on the cut off mark of courses. If the number that failed is many then the cut off mark will be low.

Assuming 200 students applied for botany, then out of the 200 students, the highest among them got 56%,this means that the cut off mark will be low.

Remember that the higher the fail rate the lower the cut off marks.

TIPS TO 300+ IN JAMB

In a twinkle of an eye or let me say within a short time, JAMB will start selling their form again, and you know what? Million of candidates are going to purchase the form together with you.

To keep it short, i will say you are competing with over one million candidates. You might be thinking how it is over one million candidates, let me break or dismantle it down to your level.

Last year, it was reported by JAMB that over 1.7million candidates applied for UTME, out of this multitude, universities in Nigeria will accept maximum of 600,000 candidates altogether. Do the math yourself then you see the candidates that will be left without admission. Now let us say half of those candidates that were denied admission,will partake in the upcoming UTME together with the new set of candidates. I will leave you to do the math all by yourself. Looking at the number of candidates that will partake in the upcoming UTME, there are chances that you might be admitted and there are also chances that you might be denied admission.

This is left to you, but u want to be of help, i mean i want to assist you. What type of assistance are you thinking about? No no, not that kind of assistance, so far you can read English Language then you should know that i specialize in assisting candidates by giving out helpful and useful tips. I hope you find it helpful and useful as I do.

You all know the frustration of writing JAMB again and again, well if you don’t, i do. I wrote JAMB twice before gaining admission into the university. The earlier you realize how frustrating it is, the better. I have not started my assistance which I’d promised, all what you have been reading is just the intro of this ebook.I hope you don’t mind the way i write, i just want this E-book as engaging as possible. I hope you are ready to read what i have for you, don’t be surprised or should i say don’t be disappointed if what you see are things you already know but for those who don’t know this things, you will be glad you read all this.

Now, the time has come to start telling you things you need to know. You are ready? If yes, let’s ride on. If no, then i don’t know what to say.

POST OUTLINES

1. Read your book.
2. Know that JAMB is once in a year.
3. Attend tutorials.
4. Find the right method of reading.
5. Minimize and utilize time spent on social media.
6. Practice makes perfect.
7. Create a time-table.
8. Go extra miles.
9. Put aside that JAMB stigma.

1. READ YOUR BOOK

You want to pass an exam, do you think that it will be possible without reading the required books, when i say the required books i refer to JAMB recommended textbooks for each subjects.

Tell me, what were you expecting me to say,you think i will say kneel down and let me pray to your God? Even God said He will help those that help themselves, my question for you is that, in what way have you have yourself? If you are a new comer to UTME, you might not understand what i am saying, go and ask those who have been writing UTME for more than two times now.

They will tell you the regret they have which is refusal to read their books. You can’t expect to reap where you have not sown, you can’t vomit what you have to taken into your body, the same also applies to reading, you can’t know what you have not read or seen. It is just like being asked to define E.M.F (i know this will be strange to the art and commercial students, even some science students) ,you can’t expect art and commercial students to define it simply because they are not familiar to the word which is in physics.

If you get my point, then kudos to you, but if you don’t, read this post again,i will be waiting for you. Once again, i repeat read your books, the little you read might be what you will see during your UTME CBT exam.

2. KNOW THAT JAMB IS ONCE IN A YEAR

You might thinking if i am ins*ne when writing this sub topic, but i want you to look beyond the sub topic and you will know what i am really trying to pass across to you.

Have it in mind that if you fail this upcoming UTME exam, then you will have to wait for one year before you experience another one, then you will know i meant by frustration. When i say frustration, i mean the harsh words you will receive from your parents everyday, the kind of envy you will have upon your friends who are already in school and lastly which is common, your friends has gotten new friends of the same level, you would be left aside until you meet up with that level.

You should make this your motivation, the truth is that there is always one person that will determine if you fail or pass and that person is YOU of course. Yes you.

Your preparation determines your JAMB success. I repeat once again, endeavour to pass JAMB once and for all.

3. ATTEND TUTORIALS

Look here, you need to get things right, there is a huge difference between reading your book and attending tutorials. Although the two contributes to your JAMB success but they play different roles.

I know the question you have in mind is how are they different?, although you go to tutorials to receive lectures which is the same thing as reading. But i will tell you that you can’t be an island of knowledge as they say. There are some topics that you will find boring or cumbersome for reading but going to the tutorial and your tutor to explain it for you, if the tutor is an experienced one, then you have no problem but if it is otherwise then i remain mute.
Attend tutorials for the right reason not for the wrong reason which you know what i am talking about. Some research concludes that we tend to know more when we explain to other person, so always be ready to explain a particular topic to your fellow mates.

4. FIND THE RIGHT METHOD OF READING

We, as human being have different methods of doing things. Reading is one of them. Different candidates with different method of reading.

Some candidate might decide to read in the midnight while some might decide to read in the day time,some might decide to read in quiet environment while some might decide to wear earpiece while reading, whatever way you read, the main thing is that you choose the one that suit you. If a particular method is not working for you, then try another method.

As for me, i will recommend the method of reading in the night, why? The night is so silent and nobody will disturb you. In case you have not been following, i repeat, find the method of reading that is suitable for you.

5. MINIMIZE AND UTILIZE TIME SPENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA

This is a million dollar truth. Social media have done more damage than good to our educational system and to the student themself. Students no longer find time to read again, all they do is to chat on facebook, twitter and so on.

Don’t get me wrong, i didn’t say you should not chat or tweet but minimize the time you spend on them and utilize them for reading. The truth is that you choose either social media that might damage you or reading of your books that might bring success. Choose one.

6. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

I don’t need to tell you this or convince you about this, you should have heard “practice makes perfect” before now. The same thing applies to preparation foe any kind of exam including UTME.

Do you know why you know how to walk? When you were little, you might have fallen many times you tried to walk but due to persistence and practice, here you are now, walking up and down. The same thing applies to reading, you cannot just read a textbook once and expect to know everything you read once.

Even the so-called genius read more than once to he able to know what they know. I laugh at those students that will start reading a week before the exam. The week before your exam is meant for you to revise all what you have read.

7. CREATE A TIME-TABLE

This is very important and relevant if you want to have a success in the upcoming UTME exam. You should understand that this time-table os important.

For the fact that nobody will scold or beat you if you go against the time-table doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be sincere with it. Don’t play with your success or let me use the word meddle. Follow the time-table diligently and you will be surprise with the way things will work out for you.

I repeat, don’t deceive yourself, be sincere with yourself.

8. GO EXTRA MILES

When i say you should go extra miles, what i really mean is that you should go beyond reading. You can do this by making research about a particular subject or topic online by Google search.

You can also go extra mile by answering some possible questions under a particular topic. This reminds me of UTME past questions, endeavour to answer all the questions from each year. You never can say, you might be answering your upcoming UTME questions.

9. PUT ASIDE THAT JAMB STIGMA

Yeah, students has also placed stigma on JAMB. The stigma is that JAMB is synonymous to failure. The moment you put the stigma aside and prepare tirelessly for UTME, then you are walking toward your success.

Let me tell you something in contrary to what you believe, it doesn’t take a genius ti pass UTME, even brilliant ones fail if the refuse to prepare. Just be ready to follow all what i have told you.

DISADVANTAGES OF DOUBLE SITTING

I have been receiving a lot of messages from students that “is two sitting advisable? “. But before i answer that question, i will like to tell you the disadvantages of using two sitting result. If you are reading this, then i believe you know what two sitting result means but for more clarification let me explain it.

WHAT IS TWO SITTING RESULT?

Simple!!! As the name implies, it is the combination of two results like combining WAEC and NECO result, WAEC and GCE or GCE and NECO. Either of the three examples are two sitting results. Now the question is ” why do students use two sitting result? “.

Students use two sitting results for one reason which is because of they actually failed a particular core subject in the WAEC exam, so they sit for another exam in order to pass the subject they failed. Let me use illustration to make my point;

Assuming Mr A sat for WAEC examination and he passed all his subjects but failed mathematics (you know that mathematics is a compulsory subject). So Mr A sat for GCE examination in order to pass mathematics, GCE result was released and Mr A passed mathematics but failed English Language, then the only possible solution is that Mr A should combine his result in order to apply for admission to the university.

The results he combined is called “Two sitting results “. I hope you now understand what two sitting results means. Good!!!
But that is not where i am heading to, the main focus of the post is to tell you the possible disadvantages of using two sitting results. I will explain as i list them;

POST OUTLINES

1. Unable to apply for competitive courses.

2. It limit your option.

3. Some courses or institutions don’t accept it.

4. Why did i post this?

UNABLE TO APPLY FOR COMPETITIVE COURSES

This is one of the disadvantages of two sitting result as you can not apply for competitive courses. Imagine five hundred candidates applying for a course like banking and finance, out of that five hundred candidates, half of them will be using one sitting result which is a criteria that can disqualify candidates using two sitting.

IT LIMIT YOUR OPTION

This is very true because candidates using two sitting result can’t just choose any course or any university. This makes the candidate who have been dreaming of courses like medicine and surgery go for lower courses that accept two sitting result.

SOME COURSES OR INSTITUTIONS DON’T ACCEPT IT

Do you know that some courses or universities don’t accept two sitting result? Yeah, there is, courses under college of medicine in UNILAG don’t accept two sitting results and it is the same for all federal universities. This leaves you no option than to go for lower courses or institutions.

WHY DID I POST THIS?

Don’t get me wrong here, i am not discouraging candidates with two sitting results but i am only trying to enlighten you on the possible disadvantages of using two sitting results.

So if you are reading this and you are about to write your WAEC or NECO or GCE examination, i will advise you to endeavour to pass all your subjects and use one sitting result for your admission processes. The disadvantages of two sitting results far outweighs the disadvantages of one sitting result.

I hope this post was helpful and useful to you. If you find this post helpful and useful, you can kindly do me a favour by sharing this post to your friends on social media by using the share icon below this post.

THINGS THAT COULD HINDER ADMISSION

Being offered admission into a university is the prayer of every Nigerian students. This is because the number of students far outweighs the number of universities we have in Nigeria. Universities are not even helping the matter at all because most of them admit students based on “long-leg” which i know you understand what i mean.
This post is focusing on reasons you might not be offered admission by the school you choose. This reasons are based on my research, so i hope you trust them.

POST OUTLINES

1. Unable to meet cut-off mark for your course.

2. Wrong subject combination in JAMB exam.

3. Age requirement.

4. Failed a core subject in WAEC/NECO/GCE exam.

5. Using two sitting results.

6. Why did i post this?

1. UNABLE TO MEET CUT-OFF MARK FOR YOUR COURSE

This is the most common reason why most of the students are being rejected yearly. For the new-bie, let me explain what i mean by cut-off mark.
Cut-off mark is the bench mark or let me say boundary at which you as a student must reach before been offered admission into a certain university.

There are factors that determines cut-off mark and example of those are; the number of candidates that choose the course, the high or low pass rate of JAMB/screening examination and so on. Cut-off marks are prone to increase or decrease by those factor i gave. I will explain more on the factors i gave and how cut-off mark is being derived my next post.

2. WRONG SUBJECT COMBINATION IN JAMB EXAM

This is one avoidable mistake students commit every year. I will always advise a student to make some little research about the course they want to apply for in JAMB exam, and one of those research is finding out about the subject combination for the course. You can simply do this by checking the brochure provided by JAMB. It won’t cost you anything to do this little research because it is capable of destroying your admission this year. Take note!!!!

3. AGE REQUIREMENT

Though some students below the age requirement of a particular school devise ways to get admitted but i won’t advise any student to take the risk of passing JAMB exam and being denied admission simply because of your age (you know how painful it can be). Most schools requires the student to be 16 years old on or before October 1st. I have seen a student that was denied admission because of he was below the age requirement despite meeting other requirements that would have qualified him for the admission slot. So i will advise any student that he or she should make sure that he/she will be 16 years old on or before October 1st.

4. FAILED A CORE SUBJECT IN WAEC/NECO/GCE EXAM

I find it hard to believe that some students apply for admission despite failing a core subject in WAEC/NECO/GCE exam. Maybe they want to try their luck but to be sincere with you, no university will offer such student an admission slot except the student uses “long-leg” which i know you understand what i am saying.

5. USING TWO SITTING RESULT

This is also a criteria that cab disqualify a student during admission process. A lot of candidates you are competing with, uses one sitting result and you know the federal universities favour one sitting result more. Why? The answer is simple; simply because they believe candidates with one sitting result are more educationally sound. You got my point? Yeah!!! I will explain more on the disadvantages of using two sitting result in my next post.

WHY DID I POST THIS?

The main reason i posted this is to make students aware of possible reasons that may lead to them being denied admission. So i will advise students to make sure they work on my point listed above and get ready to be admitted.

JAMB 2018 - AVOID THESE MISTAKES

Admission screening date is fast approaching and students seems to be ready for it. But there are mistake you should avoid during this admission screening. This mistakes can cost you your admission if care is not taken and you know what that means, staying at home for a year to resit for JAMB exam can be frustrating.

Admission screening is in two forms, the physical screening and the point system screening through the use of computer. Let me shed more light on the two forms of screening;

Physical screening involves the student going to the school for interview. During this interview, they check your results (WAEC and JAMB result)and some other certificates like WAEC certificate, birth certificate and so on.

They will also ask you some sensitive questions just to test your intelligence. You can see some of the questions here.

Point system screening involves the use of point to grade the candidate WAEC and JAMB results. This screening does not require your presence in the school because all you have to do, be it submitting your certificates and results will be done through the computer. You can even do it yourself if you have the necessary equipments like computer, scanner, printer etc.

POST OUTLINES

1. Wrong spelling of your name.

2. Inconsistent age in your document.

3. Indecent dressing.

Now lets go to the main topic, mistakes you should avoid during admission screening. Take your time to read carefully.

Wrong spelling of your name

Most students usually ignore this thinking that it is a minor issue that can be resolved. But i tell that it is not a minor issue that can be resolved easily, i have seen alot of candidates that fell victim to this. Some schools might want to ignore this but you should make sure your names are well spelt.

If you are already a victim of this then the only solution i can recommend to you is that you should either go to JAMB office or the Admission office of the school to make corrections.

Inconsistent age in your document

There are cases where a student will fill in age 17 in his WAEC while they fill in for age 16 in his JAMB form. I don’t know the reason for this. But if you think you are smart enough to fake your age so as to gain admission ,the school has a way of finding out, remember that we are in a computer world, so things like that won’t be a problem to the school.

This happened in UNILORIN, when the school found out about fake ages and results, the students were expelled from the school. I know you know the shame in faining admission to a school and get expelled.

If you are already a victim of this, then you will have to go to JAMB office to make some corrections before the screening commence.

Indecent dressing

They usually say that people will address you the way you dress. You can identify a doctor by his white lab coat and stethoscope around his neck, you can identify a lawyer by his gown, you can also identify a thug by his indecent dressing. No school want to admit a thug because they believe that thugs will only promote cultism in the school.

Try to impress the interviewer with your decent dressing. This can also given an edge over other students.
Note: This is for candidates preparing for physical screening.

TIPS TO HIGH JAMB SCORE - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

The need for high JAMB score in your quest for University admission cannot be overemphasized. The question now is, how can I score very high in Jamb 2018? The answers are:

 Early Preparations.

 Get the right textbooks

 Develop a study habit.

 Use past questions.

 Identify your weak point.

 Understand the association connection.

 Learn the exam strategies

 Study read.

 Be Up to date.

 Learn basic concepts in computer.

1. EARLY PREPARATIONS:

Don’t wait for the exams to be close before you start preparations. Early preparation gives you an edge; don’t think that there is still time.

Live your life with sense of urgency. Have the mentality,  ” I am behind schedule”. Begin to set targets because it will give you a powerful drive towards the exam.

Do you want to score 350+ in Jamb? It all begins from now. Remember, a man who fails to plan is indirectly planning to fail.

Joshua Abuwa said, “The problem with a lot of young persons today is that they don’t have visions, they only have television”. In your quest for university admission, what can you see?. Your worth in life is tied to the quality use of your mind.

2.  GET THE RIGHT BOOKS:

Empty the coins  in your purse into your mind and your mind will fill your purse with gold. Reading quality books for your examination will give you nothing, but quality grades.

For every examination, there is a course outline. This guides you on the topics and parts of the topics to cover. It is essential you get the books that cover the required topics and sub-topics.

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) usually recommends texts. Get them and start studying as soon as possible. 

3. DEVELOP A STUDY HABIT:

Your habits determine your habitat. It is high time you develop a solid study habit. Need help? here is how to start. Before you study, make sure that you are relaxed physically, emotionally and mentally. The following study  practices might be of good help to you.

Study in an environment that is best conducive for you. It doesn’t really need to be calm; if a noisy area is OK for you, go with it.

Read with revelation. Draw a plan of what you should achieve after the study.

All materials that guarantee smooth learning must be ready to avoid searching in the midst of learning.

Get a Jotter to put down salient facts.

Don’t skip any part of the material if you don’t understand it.

Prepare a study time-table and follow it consecutively.

Prepare a rest and recreation time-table too. Funny?

Read the 10 secrets of successful students and

How to remember 90% of what you have read

4. USE PAST QUESTIONS:

Past questions are the picture of the future. The future here speaks of the exam you are preparing for. Studying with past questions will act as positive catalyst for your exam. The importance of past questions is they help you to:

Know the nature of questions to expect.

Identify the dark spots in your text books

Take note of the frequently asked questions.

Examine your level of preparation by putting yourself in the exam condition.

Boosts your confidence.

Note: Most past questions pack have answers at the back. Do not check the answers before you solve the problems. Just make sure that you understand the questions.

5. IDENTIFY YOUR WEAK POINT:

Like I always say, “telling yourself the truth is honesty but telling others is integrity.

Find out what works for you and what doesn’t. Find that the subjects and topics you find very easy to learn. In addition, don’t run away from the ones giving you tough time.

Do everything possible to give them tough time too. Just imagine losing 80 marks in mathematics just because you fail to fall in love with it. Handle your weakness or your weakness will handle you.

6. THE ASSOCIATION CONNECTION:

Who you associate with determines whether you will dissociate or appreciate. There are people who add to your life, those that subtract from you, those that divide and those that multiply you.

Identify those who add to and multiply your success. There is no where you want to go that people haven’t gone to. Look for people whose realities are your dreams.

7. LEARN THE EXAM STRATEGIES:

There are things that don’t seem reasonable but are capable of making you responsible. Understand the following strategies:

Any question you get wrong, there are people who will get it right.

Some answers follow a pattern. This pattern can help you get the questions you don’t know the correct answers to.

After every 30 minutes go back to the questions you think you have answered to be sure if you actually answered it correctly. Sometimes the brain deceives.

Increase your speed and don’t leave any option blank.

8. STUDY DEEPLY:

No matter the motivational books you have read on exam success, the efficacy of hard work cannot be over emphasized. Don’t study for exams the way you study newspapers. Put in effort in your study. Study, but study wise.

9. BE UP TO DATE:

Be up to date on your exam date and procedures. Don’t fail to read articles relating to exam success as well. Visit Bentenblog for news relating to your school.

10. LEARN BASIC CONCEPTS:

Learn computer since most of your exams will be computer based. Make sure you click the answers and also confirm that you have actually ticked.

5 Things to know Before Purchasing JAMB Form

If you are reading this post, then that means you want to sit for the upcoming UTME exam. Then i congratulate you because you are at the right place. Gidifans is here to help you even when preparing for your exams.

We will like to tell you things you need to know before registering for JAMB exam.

1. Your Name is very important:

Yes, your name can cost you your admission if you spell your name wrong. I have seen students been admitted by JAMB but were rejected by the University during clearance because of their names does not correlate with other documents like O’level result certificate, birth certificate etc.

Although, JAMB use to allow for ” change of data” where you can correct your name incase you made mistake, but to be on a safer side, make sure you carefully spell your name to the JAMB official that is going to register you.

2. Know The Course You Want To Study:

I usually find it funny whenever a student says he doesn’t know the course to pick. Course is not something you should pick at random, course is something you have passion for, something you have knowledge about.

Don’t let anyone decide your course for you. If you are having problem choosing a course, i already made a post they will help you decide the course you really want to study. Click the link below to read the post.

3. Know the subject combination for your course :

Alot of student make this mistake by choosing wrong subject combinations for their course. If you want to avoid any form of mistake, then i will advise you to use “JAMB BROCHURE”, look for your course and you will see the subject combination for the course.

Remember, this mistake can not be amend after you have sat for the exam, which means your admission for that year is not certain. Be wise!!!

4. Use one sitting result :

I have come to realize that students with one sitting result have more advantage than students using two sitting results. I have already made a post about the ” possible disadvantages of using two sitting result “, you can click the link below to read it.

Also make sure your minimum grade in your WAEC/NECO/GCE is “C6”, anything more than that, won’t be accepted by the University you choose.

5. Your Date of Birth:

Don’t ever make a mistake of changing your date of birth because your admission can be revoke by JAMB or by the University if they find out.

Minimum age federal universities accept is 16 years old, anything less than that, might not work out. If you are 15 year’s old, just relax and wait for the following year or you can apply to private university if you can afford it.

Having said all this, you can now go and register for JAMB, wish you success.
If you have any kind of admission issues, then let me know through the comment or send a mail to my email address.

Thank You.

JAMB BOSS SPEAKS ON UTME CUT OFFS

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board says it has yet to release cut-off marks for placements into tertiary institutions for the 2017 academic year, contrary to speculations by some Nigerians.

The Head, Media and Information, JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, made the clarification in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Tuesday.

He said that the policy committee meeting responsible for the determination of cut-off marks had not met.

According to him, it is in the best interest of candidates and other critical stakeholders to jettison cut-off marks for the various courses that are currently being paraded.

“We want to appeal to all candidates to jettison such speculations and engage themselves in more meaningful ventures that would add value to their future,’’ he said.

Benjamin said results of the just concluded 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination had since been released, with a few others still being previewed.

“We want to appeal to Nigerians to understand that such candidates whose results are being previewed may not necessarily have participated in any malpractice.

“But rather, centres where they sat for the examination had issues during the conduct of examination.

“”These issues were reflected on the CCTV footage and this suggests why they must be carefully investigated before releasing such results,” he said.

According to him, a very disturbing and unfortunate case is that of a school in Abia where cables were seen to have been connected secretly to a distant hall for hired mercenaries to write for candidates.

“This is very unfortunate given the fact that the school is a missionary school and supposed to be a leading light against such vices.

“But, rather, it was conniving, supporting and indeed championing the evil course of examination malpractice,’’ Benjamin said in the statement.

He said such results would be treated in accordance with the provision of the law.

According to him, a task force has been inaugurated by the Registrar of the board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, to look into all such issues and has since concluded the review of the CCTV footages and other evidences presented.

He said that the task force would forward its reports to the appropriate quarters for the scrutiny and onward release of all remaining results.

“We urge candidates to note that no result will be withheld without a cogent reason as this explains why we are taking time to ensure that those who are innocent are exonerated.

“Again, candidates are advised not to patronise any centre, office or shop for any service; please visit our offices in all the 36 states of the Federation and FCT for any complaint, enquiry or assistance.

“This is also because our attention has also been drawn to an illegal centre being operated near our Ikoyi Office in Lagos with the aim of defrauding innocent candidates.

“This centre collects all kinds of fees in cash for services that are even free. The general public should note that payments for any of our services are done via our TSA account with CBN and not cash.

“Anybody or group of persons requesting for cash from you is not from us,’’ the statement read. (NAN)
