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.

TOP 10 LUCRATIVE COURSES IN NIGERIA

1. Pharmacy

2. Medicine and surgery

3. Dentistry and dental surgery

4. Business administration

5. Engineering

6. Economics

7. Law

8. ICT

9. Nursing

10. Medical laboratory science

Below are the courses that are lucrative in Nigeria;

1. PHARMACY

Let us to be sincere, people who study this course has the advantage of making it big here in Nigeria. Pharmacy is all about the study of dr.ugs and how it works in the body. It is either you work as a community pharmacist (these are the pharmacist you see in your community and also take not that chemist and pharmacist are not the same) or you can work as an hospital pharmacist (these are pharmacist you see in the hospital) or you can work as an industrial pharmacist (these are the pharmacist that produce the dr.ug we use). If you want to make it real big in the line of pharmacy, i will advise you to go for industrial or community pharmacy because they have more advantage of making more money than the hospital pharmacy.

2. MEDICINE & SURGERY

Even though the doctors are not paid as high as they want, they have more advantage of making more money in Nigeria. They can also decide to work overseas or they can decide to specialize in a particular field, thereby increasing their pay/salary. Some might even decide to become a lecturer. People who study these courses has a lot of chances of making it big financially as they don’t bother to seek for employment, most of them are employed immediately after school.

3. DENTISTRY & DENTAL SURGERY

Dentistry and dental surgery is all about the study of the oral cavity. I know some people might disagree that dentistry does not worth being third on the list but the truth is that both doctors and dentists are paid on same salary scale (CONHESS). They also have the opportunity to specialise like the counterpart (doctors) in a particular field. They also have the opportunity to work in the oversea after they sit for licensing exam. In USA, dentists are the highest paid profession, they are more paid than doctors but here in Nigeria, they are paid same salary.

4. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

As the word implies, it is all about business and we all know that business is running the world. The richest black man in the world, Aliko Dangote is a businessman. People who study this course have the opportunity to stand alone (become an entrepreneur) and run their business venture. Most times, they tend to be successful in the business because they know more about business and how it works.

5. ENGINEERING

All forms of engineering is lucrative if they have the opportunity to work in a big engineering firm. All forms of engineering like petrochemical, mechanical, civil, electrical and so on. People who study these courses really make it big financially most especially those who study petrochemical engineering. These people are paid well in Nigeria. The disadvantage they have is that they can hardly stand alone at the early stage of their career.

6. ECONOMICS

One thing i like this course is that people who study it can work almost everywhere, i mean that you can find them in almost all sectors like the educational sector, business sector, banking sector and so on. Also they are paid well and they also have the opportunity to stand alone as an entrepreneur.

7. LAW

Though there are argument that law is no longer lucrative but it remain number 7 on the list. People who study law to become lawyer know how they make their money because they look comfortable. They also further to become barristers, SAN (Senior Advocate of Nigeria) and so on.

8. ICT

For those who don’t know the full meaning of ICT, it means Information and Communication Technology and when i say ICT, i mean people who study any course related to computer, website designing etc. I refer them to as computer gurus or tech gurus. We all know that it is technology making things happen in this world. These guys are really paid well and they can become a boss of their own (an entrepreneur).

9. NURSING

I have reasons why nursing is the number 9 on my list. The reason is that they easily get job in the hospital due to the high need of nurses in the hospital. Also they can proceed to become “matron”. In a nut shell, they are well paid and they easily get job compared to other health related courses.

10. MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE

Nowadays, hospitals prefer to employ med lab scientists to biochemist or microbiologist, the reason is that med lab science has covered both microbiology and biochemistry. Therefore, they easily get employed and they are paid well.

Take note that this list is not official, everything up there is based on my opinion but if you feel the list is incomplete or wrong, you can let us know your opinion.

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.

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.

I hope this post was helpful and useful to you. If you find it 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.

UNIVERSITIES THAT CANNOT DO WITHOUT STRIKES!

Some schools are just so good when it come to strikes. It is either the government that causes it or the students had to protest or riot over some issues. These Universities cannot do without going on strike in a session. The schools are listed below;

LAUTECH: Ladoke Akintola University of Technology is owned by two states, osun and oyo state. This school is always known for their incessant strikes. Currently they are on strike which has lasted over seven months. I know you will be surprised but it is the truth. Strike is due to lack of fund from the two states government.

KOGI STATE UNIVERSITY: This University is located at Anyigba in Kogi state. I don’t really know much about this school but I do know that they do go on strike.

OAU: Obafemi Awolowo University is one of the best Universities in Nigeria but it is also known for incessant strikes. Due to this, some funny dudes translated OAU as “Oba Adaniduro University” which means the king of strikes. Funny? Yeah, really funny.

IMSU: Imo State University located at Imo state. They are fond of going on strike. Their last strike was caused by the government when there was a 30% cut in the lecturer salary.

UNILAG: University of Lagos is located in Lagos State known for its beautiful environment and also known for suspending or rusticating students which usually cause riot by the students leading to strike.

You can add your opinion if you feel that the list is not complete or it is been partial. Use the comment box below. Your opinion is welcome.

MOST COMPETITIVE COURSES

There are lot of courses in Nigerian universities but some are more competitive than the other.
How do I know they are competitive? Simple! Take a look at the previous years cut off marks and
You will know what I’m talking about.

1. Biochemistry.

2. Computer science.

3. Electrical/Electronic engineering.

4. Political science.

5. Nursing.

6. Dentistry and dental surgery.

7. Agriculture.

8. Petrochemical engineering.

9. Law.

10. Medicine and surgery.

Below are the list of competitive courses in Nigeria starting from the least course ;

10. BIOCHEMISTRY

This course is competitive, a lot of candidate prefer to choose this course, why?
Just because they think they can cross over to medicine, Now you see why it is included.

9. COMPUTER SCIENCE

It is now longer a news that we are in the “computer world”.Candidate
choose this course because they believe that there are a lot of opportunities for the courses.

8. ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING

Everybody want to become an engineer one way or the other . As the world is moving fast, so as technology. A lot of opportunity are in engineering, sincerely.

7. POLITICAL SCIENCE

We all know what is going on in Nigeria politics, I should not be telling you.
Everybody want to play politics one way or the other. In Nigeria, there are a lot of opportunities
For those who know who (connections).

6. NURSING

Nurse, Nurse! The title sounds good to the ear right? Yeah. Most female candidates will fill in
for nursing , like 60% of them. Nursing is a good course in Nigeria. You don’t have to look for job before
you see one.

5. DENTITARY AND DENTAL SURGERY

Due to the limited slot to this course in universities, There is high competition . What do i mean? For example OAU admit only 25 student in this course, UI admit only 40 while some other school admit 10 candidate. Now you should know for yourself.

4. AGRICULTURE

Lately, there have been rise in the cut off mark of any agriculture related courses which means that the number of students applying for these courses are increasing year after year.

Read Also: Questions asked during screening and how to answer them

3. PETROCHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Everybody wants to work in CHEVRON, NNPC and so on, why? Maybe because of the huge salary and allowances since that is what students pursue. As a result of this, high number of students apply for this course.

2. LAW

We all what law means. It makes you a lawyer. 90% of art students apply for this course year after year. Maybe because of the respect they earn from people, I just don’t know.

1. MEDICINE & SURGERY

80% of the science students want to become doctors maybe because their parents wants them to be, or maybe because of the respect and honour in the course. It shouldn’t be new to you anymore that medicine have the medicine have the highest cut off mark which means it is competitive.

LESS COMPETITIVE COURSES IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS

Hello, are you searching for a less competitive course to apply here in Nigeria? Look no further, as I bring to you 7 less competitive courses that will gain you easy admission. Though, getting admitted to study any course in Nigeria , isn’t an easy task. But the once mentioned below makes the task more easier.

So, let’s get going!!

VETERINARY MEDICINE
One preceding feature of students in this present day, is that they do not want any Job that will dirty their clothes. Even if it is a very profitable one. ALL they want is, the kind of job that require wearing of ‘SUITS’. Even when it’s not much lucrative.

Veterinary Medicine is one of those courses students detest. But I must confess that, It is a very lucrative course. One other advantage of studying this course, is that it is very easy to gain admission to study it in the University, since many students detest it.

LANGUAGES 
Studying Languages is not as bad as many students had assumed. Most people say they end up teaching. But this is not always true. There are also places where a language professionalist may be required. For instance, people working as ambassadors, representing the country outside. Or even working on medias such as the www.naij.com, www.chanelstv.com, www.gidifans.com. All these media surely require a person with high professionalism in language. So you see, it is also very lucrative as well.

Agriculture:
This is another lucrative course for students searching for a Less competitive course they can engage in. At present, Nigeria has less number of people wanting to go into farming, and this has greatly made the course more profitable. Even when many students know that this course is profitable, they still find it very difficult to study it because of this same this same primitive ideology. Getting admission to study Agriculture, is also very easy. For these reasons I enjoin everyone searching for a less competitive course to study to consider studying Agriculture.

EDUCATION RELATED COURSES 
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think education courses are very odd. Education courses do not just earn you cash, they earn you much respect and honor from the public. Persons with much professionalism on courses like this one, can work in higher institutions and many other places. One other advantage here, is its easy admission offering in any institution at all. Education courses should be good choices of courses to make.

AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
This deals with the construction and improvement of farming equipment and machinery. With no doubt, Agricultural engineering is another less competitive course in Nigeria. However, people believe the primitive ideology that states ‘Agriculture is a dirty job, and is meant for rural people ‘. Well, in Nigeria today Agriculture pays well and it should also be a good choice of study for students looking for a less competitive course in Nigeria as well.

MATHEMATICS
Because of the complexity of Mathematics, many student in Nigeria have refused to study it in the University. Thus, they have developed much detest for the subject. This notwithstanding, has made the course very cheap and easy for students to get admitted to study. If you are looking for a course that will offer you easy admission here in Nigeria, Then Mathematics should be one of them.

BUILDING TECHNOLOGY
Just as the Name Implies, Building Technology has to do with construction of edifice(building). One striking probs about this course is that, it is very lucrative and less competitive too. If you want to get easy admission to the University, then building technology is a considerable choice for you, since it pays well and also reduce the streets of getting administration to the University.

GEOLOGY 
Geology might not be as profitable as other courses mentioned above, but it is a good idea for students who will want to get easy admission into the university, due to its less competitive nature. Geology has to do with the study of the earth processes, such as landslides, earthquakes, floods etc.

ASUU TO MEET WITH FG BEFORE STRIKE IS CALLED OFF ENTIRELY

There are indications that the Academic Staff Union of Universities may meet with the Federal Government this week over the ongoing strike by the union.

The union had earlier over the weekend to decode whether or not to call off the strike.

The FG had during the meeting with ASUU leadership in Abuja offered to pay N23bn and a monthly payment of N1.5bn pending the outcome of the forensic audit being carried out by the Ministry of Finance.

According to a source, “The ASUU meeting which held last Saturday at UniAbuja discussed the offers made by the government and whether the strike should be called off on the basis of the offers made by the government.

“It was decided that ASUU might seek an audience with the government this week to negotiate further concessions before the strike is called off.”

  CENTRAL ADMISSION PROCESSING SYSTEM (CAPS).
  The 2017/18 admission exercise will be based on the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), a system designed by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to automate the admissions process to tertiary institutions. The system introduces a number of innovations into the admission process.
  These include opportunities for candidates to confirm provisional admissions thus eliminating cases of multiple admission or ignorance about admission status. Candidates are therefore advised to familiarize themselves with the process to enable them check and track their admission status at any point in time on the JAMB portal.

This post is to point out and explain where necessary the important documents and other requirements you will need for your schools (university, polytechnic, College of education) post-UTME/DE admission screening exercise.

Like you may have known already, the post-UTME admission screening exercise involves the verification of candidates’s UTME/O’level results and other relevant documents

For the sake of clarity and emphasis, let’s number them individually;

1. Get Your O’level results (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB) Ready: Depending on the nature of the screening, you will be required to present copies of your O’level Statement of result or O’level Original Certificate. The results must be obtained in not more than two sittings.

If it is up to four years you wrote the O’level examination, you will need to present the original certificate of your result not statement of results. But if it is less than 4 years you wrote the O’level examination, you can present your O’level statement of result. It will be accepted.

The reason for this is that the Original Certificates of O’level results are made available after 4 years. So it is expected that your Original Certificate should be ready after four years. If your O’level result is up to four years, you better go and get the original certificate.

2. Certificates of JUPEB, ND, NCE, IJMB etc : This is for only direct entry candidates. You will be required to present the original copies of whatever certificate you have obtained that qualified you for Direct Entry admission.

3. JAMB Direct Entry Registration Slip: This is only for direct Entry candidates.

4. UTME Result Printout: This is your Original JAMB Result Slip. The one that has your passport photograph on it. You will need to print this document out from JAMB website when it becomes available.

5. JAMB Data: JAMB data includes information like your JAMB, Registration number, JAMB score, UTME Subject combination etc. If you are applying for an online screening, you will be required to provide these information.

6. Birth Certificate/ Age Declaration: You already know what a Birth certificate is. In a situation whereby your birth certificate is lost or not available, you can go to any court and get what is called affidavit of age declaration.

7. Local Government Area Certificate of Origin: This is an official document that indicates your Local Government Area (LGA) and state of origin. You can get this at your Local Government Area secretariat in your state of origin.

8. Passport Photograph: Schools have their specifications when it comes to passport photograph. Some will require red background while others will require a white background. UNIBEN usually demands a recent red back ground passport. Your school will specify which one is needed when they announce the screening form. So ensure you follow the instructions. The passport should also be recent. At least not more than two months it was taken.

9. Online Admission screening registration printout: This is the document you print out after registering for your school’s post-UTME/DE admission screening exercise. The document is usually needed if your school calls for a physical screening, an Aptitude test/Oral interview.

10. Guarantor’s or Referee’s Letter: Not all schools demand for this. You school will specify if this is needed. it is just a letter from your parents or sponsor indicating that you are of good conduct and that they will be able to take care of the financial implication if your stay in the school.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR SCHOOL's POST-UTME/DE

Many candidates have been asking questions on the kind of preparations they need ahead of their school’s post-UTME admission screening exercise

The purpose of this post is to give you heads up on how to prepare for your school’s Post-UTME/DE admission screening exercise.

The screening exercise may involve verification of your O’level results and other relevant documents. It may also be in form of Post-UTME aptitude test or an oral interview.

With the return of post utme,  some schools will likely conduct aptitude test/oral interview. If your school of choice falls in this category, then you will have to prepare accordingly. Study the subjects directly relevant to the course you applied for. It is advisable you equally get acquainted with current affairs.

Steps to Prepare For Your School’s Admission Screening

Regardless of the screening method of your school of choice, below are the important preparation tips you should note;

• Get all necessary documents . You can keep them safe in a file while you wait for your school to announce the screening. Do not wait till the screening is announced before running helter skelter
• If  your school specifies that it will be a physical screening, please ensure you dress well when going. Let your dressing be formal. Do not look irresponsible. If you have tattoos or piercings on your body, remove or at least wear something that can cover them when hoping for your physical screening.
• If your school’s screening method is Post-UTME aptitude test/ oral Interview, then you are to make sure you prepare well for it since your admission depends totally on you performance during test or interview. Just read up current affairs, subjects related to your course of study and know a few things about the school like when the institution was founded, who is the current Vice Chancellor (for universities), Rector (for polytechnics) or provost (for colleges of education) as the case may be. You can also study the Post-UTME Past questions of the schools.
