How to be successful in Jamb 2014 Examination
and Score 270 and Above
Tips 1. Following the words of the JAMB Registrar after the 2014
exercise, Prof Dibu Ojerinde said: “We have gone digital in JAMB.” What
he meant by ‘going digital’ is that the Jamb 2015/2016 UTME examination
is going to be a Computer Based Test. To avoid surprises in the exam
hall, we encourage participants to learn how to operate a computer
system which is as simple as ABC.
In the examination hall, your computer will be “timed” when it reached
the allotted time, it will switch off, even if you have not answer any
question! So the call to be fast is needed.
Tips 2. All admission seeking candidates in the Jamb 2014, mostly
candidates within the South- Eastern environs are advice to make early
registrations for the JAMB 2015/2016 UTME to avoid missing out on
available centers. Last session (Jamb 2014), with the record number of
1.8 Million candidates who participated in the examination, Centres were
exhausted within three months of registrations, and late registrants
were pushed to the North, north east and north central zones of the
country to take their
examinations.
if you are not in the north, i know you don’t want to risk going to the
North to write your jamb exam, due to the the terror insurgence.
A lot of candidates miss the last year jamb exercise due to this
problem, so we encourage you to purchase the form as soon as possible.
Tips 3. From statistic, over 1.2 Million Nigerian
Students registered and participated in the JAMB 2015/2016 UTME
exercise, and not more than 450,000 of these students were admitted,
together with over 1.2 million students leaving our various high
schools, due to the low amount to candidates who are offered admission
last year, we are very sure more than 2 million candidates will
participate in the JAMB 2015-2016 UTME exams.
We therefore advice candidates to prepare for the
competitions. One way to beat it is to Jack your
book (read your book).
Tips 5. The JAMB 2015 candidates are advised to stay away from the Most Selected Institutions as outlined below;
• University Of Lagos (Unilag)
• University Of Benin (Uniben)
• University Of Nigeria (UNN)
• University Of Ilorin (Unilorin)
• Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. (Unizik)
• Federal University of Technology, Owerri (Futo)
• University of Ibadan (UI)
• University of Port Harcourt (Uniport)
This are popular-one of the popular- institutions in
Nigeria. The reason why we advice that you stay away from this
universities is to boost your chances of admission, not because you are
not intelligent, but because admission slots are very limited, the
competition in these institutions is higher and if it is not your
catchment area, then your chance of getting admitted is equal to zero.
But still, if you must choose any of the above
institutions, please also look for Universities that
accept 2nd choice and that are not too competitive. Take note of this as
you will remember it when Admission commence. Now success tips 6 will
show us courses that are very competitive and why you have to ignore
them.
Tips 6. All candidates seeking Admission into Tertiary Institutions via
the JAMB 2015/2016 UTME exercise are advice to be very careful in their
selection of courses, it is no news that the following courses have the
highest number of applicants.
• Medicine And Surgery
• Economics
• Accounting
• Law/Civil Law
• Pharmacy etc.
• Mechanical Engr/civil/elect elect etc.
Selecting one of the above means you will be competing with thousands of
candidates for the space, which is likely not up to hundreds in all the
Institutions. But if you are however interested in any of the above
courses, you must learn how to balance your selections appropriately to
increase your chances of getting admitted. Ensure you also select
courses that has few number of candidates, and by so ding, you can be
sure of your Admission and if you so please, you can apply for change of
course after been admitted.
This is as to boost your chances of admission, not because you are not
intelligent, but because slots are limited,competition is higher and you
are getting older, plus, ASUU would make you age before time,
hence, make hay while the sun shine.
Tips 7. It is important also that you know the
accreditation status of the course(s) you want to
apply for in the choice Institutions before submitting your application.
What is Accreditation of course?
Some university offer courses that has not been approved by the National Universities Commission
(NUC) , and if you end up in one of those departments, you would have
wasted your years for nothing! Because you won’t be given any original
certificate! For example; Medicine and Surgery has NOT been accredited
in the Benue State University, BSUM and many others
Universities, and candidates who is admitted into
BSUM will end up spending 8+ years in vain.
How will you know if your course has been accredited in your choice institution?
You can know this from the Jamb 2015 Brochure that will be given to you
when you purchase the Jamb 2014-2015 UTME Form. Also you can drop your
comment and we will let you know if you are good to go.
Tips 8. Most Institutions requires a cut-off of 240
in the JAMB-UTME. (example of such institution is
University of Ilorin ) the minimum cut off for Medicine in Unilorin is
240 and 220+ for major courses, while admission at the University of
Ibadan and Unilag begins with your O-Level results, herefore, its very
important that you have the basic requirements of the Institution before
applying for admission. In fact, this apply to almost all the
Institutions in Nigeria. Ensure you have your COMPLETE O’LEVEL RESULTS
for your chosen courses before buying Jamb, if you don’t have, you are
only going to frustrate yourself. Even when you are admitted, you will
be screen out after they collect your acceptance fee and school fee.
Tips 9. DO NOT apply for admission into Institutions outside your
catchment areas, else, you risk your chance of being admitted.
Tips 10. Take note: Once you have submitted your
application form for the JAMB 2015/2016 UTME,
there is no more opportunity to initial any change,
therefore, we advice candidates to check all the
fields properly, including passport, names, first and
second institutions, finger prints before
submission, because all would be verified before you are admitted for the JAMB 2015 Examination.
