Know If Your Jamb UTME Score Will Guarantee/Get You Admission Into Any Tertiary Institution (University, Polytechnics And College of Education) In Nigeria- So many candidates keep asking this same question every year that Jamb conduct their examination saying “What Jamb score do I need to get admission/admitted into my first choice University and to study my first choice course?”.

The idea of jamb candidates and some individual saying “I score **** in my Jamb UTME result I will gain admission into the university”, it is not real true. Your Jamb score is not a Guarantee that you have gained admission.

Some people will say what is your jamb score “230 or 240 or 250 or 280” ok you will have an automatic admission with your score. On a layman’s view, the score is good for admission, but jamb never said that. Your Jamb is one of the factors that will gain you admission into the tertiary institution.

You gaining admission are dependent on:

1. Jamb Admission Factors: Merit, Catchment and Educationally less developed States

This was one of the factors that can gain you admission into the university or polytechnics or college of education.

Now that there is no longer Post UTME, Jamb have introduced the O’level rating as an admission criteria for score so if you score 250 and you have a low O’level rating it will also affect your gaining admission.

2. Your choice of course

I bet you 60 – 70% of the candidates that applied for the current Jamb choose higher rated course like Medicine and surgery, economics, Accounting, pharmacy, engineering, Nursing, Banking and Finance, etc and neglect other smaller course. So you see that your change of gaining admission is reducing gradually. CLICK HERE MORE

3. Performance of the student in the current Jamb

The overall performance of students in the current Jamb can also affect your admission, the higher the performance, the higher Jamb set its cut off mark.

4. Yearly Admission quota

The larger the learning facilities of an institution the larger the number of student that will be admitted e.g if an institution capacity is 7,000 student and the number of registered candidate that choose the institution or scored Jamb average mark are 15,000 applicants, it will also affect the admission gaining of some student despite their Jamb score.

5. Course competition

The competition in course in the university can affect your chance of gaining admission. For instance Uniport is good in Medicine and surgery, may people will like apply for medicine and surgery in Uniport thereby increasing the cut off mark three times that of jamb average cut off.

6. Tertiary Institution rating

Rating of tertiary institutions increase the number of candidates that will apply to be admitted, for example Nekede and Auchi Polytechnics are rated high in terms of studying, if this is so about 70 -79% of candidate will choose either of the Polytechnic which will might make the institution to increase its cut off mark.
