Why you Should Check your JAMB UTME Result Immediately
Apart from checking to see your performance in the exam, there are other reasons why you should check your JAMB UTME result.
Your JAMB UTME result helps you know where you stand. It helps you decide if you need to change your institution or course.
For courses like medicine and surgery, it is risky to apply with a JAMB score below 300. Some schools, like the University of Lagos, do not accept JAMB scores below 200.
Checking your JAMB UTME score on time helps you to make better decisions.
What’s Next?
Check Previous Post-UTME Cut-off Marks
Check the previous Post-UTME cut-off mark for your school of choice, as this will give you an idea of the score you need to be competitive. In most cases, schools rarely change their Post-UTME cut-off marks, so knowing last year’s requirement can help you properly assess your chances of admission and plan accordingly.
Find Out If Your School Will Conduct Post-UTME or Screening
Confirm if your school of choice will conduct a Post UTME exam or if candidates will be screened with their JAMB UTME and O’Level results.
If a Post UTME exam is to be held, you should start preparing early to improve your chances of performing well. However, if the school will only conduct a screening, calculate your screening score using your JAMB UTME and O’Level results to see your chances of meeting the required cut-off mark for admission.
Join School Communities
To stay updated and avoid missing important information about your school of choice, join online communities or groups dedicated to that institution, where updates and announcements are regularly shared.
Make Decisions Fast
Do you need to change your course or institution? Do it as fast as possible so that it won’t delay you from getting the Post UTME form for your school of choice when the form goes on sale.
