See How JAMB And School Determine Who Is Admitted And Who Is Not

Applicants wishing to earn a bachelor's degree in higher education often think that as soon as they get a high score or a required final grade for their chosen course of study, they will automatically be given admission to their chosen educational institutions. The truth is that this does not work like that.

Each year, a large number of candidates who apply for undergraduate studies at the relevant educational institutions end up failing to enroll even with their high JAMB and Post-UTME scores. There are many factors responsible for this. In this post, factors will be indicated and explained, so that you can find out your chances of receiving an appointment.

Reception quota:

All schools have their own specific admission quotas, which are set by the regulatory body for this institution. For example, in universities it is the National University Commission (NUC) that sets a quota for admission. Admission quota is the number of candidates that the institution is allowed to accept at each academic session, based on its capacity. Thus, at that moment when the institution accepted the number of candidates that it is allowed to accept, other candidates who applied to this institution will not be offered to enter this school, regardless of whether they scored a point above the established level.

Admission Policy:

In accordance with the guidelines established by the federal government for admission to higher education institutions, 45% of the candidates will be accepted on the basis of merit in any educational institution, 35% will be accepted on the basis of the scope of the educational institution they applied for training, 20% will be to be accepted because they are from educationally less developed states, while the ration of science for students who must enter every year is 60:40. All higher education institutions were required to follow these guidelines. Let’s now explain what all this means.

45% for admission on the basis of merit: this means that 45% (45%) of candidates with high scores at UTME and during verification on admission are examined upon admission primarily in the educational institution to which they apply before other candidates . This means that if you succeed in the JAMB exam and admission test, you are likely to fall into this category.

Reception 35% depending on service areas. Each federal university has its own service areas. These enrollment areas are states associated with a particular federal university. If your state of origin is recognized as part of the enrollment area of ​​the federal university you applied for, you will have a better chance of being enrolled at this university than anyone whose state of origin not recognized as part of the university. area. 35% of the vacant seats are reserved for candidates whose state of origin falls within the coverage area of ​​the federal university of their choice. Therefore, it is advisable to apply for admission to institutions in which your state of origin is part of the service area.

It should also be noted that in state universities, polytechnic institutes, and even in educational colleges, candidates from the particular state in which the institution is located are usually given more applicants than other candidates.

20% educationally less advanced state (ELDS) income: some states are considered educationally less developed or disadvantaged. The following states are considered educationally less developed or dysfunctional states (ELDS): Adamawa, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Ebony, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Kvara, Nasarava, Niger, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe and Zamfara. Candidates from these states receive special attention when entering any educational institution. They occupy 20% of the slots available for admission to any institution. 

Admission based on the relationship between science and art: in accordance with the admission rules, 60% of candidates offering courses related to science will be accepted, and 40% of candidates offering courses related to art will be accepted. It simply means that more applicants will be accepted for applying for courses related to science than candidates for applying for courses related to art.

UTME / O’level Item Combination:

Many candidates often neglect the advice to choose the right combination of UTME and O’level Subject for the course they are about to study. The truth is that if you do not select the appropriate UTME / O’level subjects for the course you intend to study, you will automatically be denied admission.

Before applying for a JAMB, always check your JAMB brochure for the correct UTME / O’level for the course you are about to study. Thus, now you can see that, in the end, not only how well you did the JAMB exam and the admission check, it depends on whether you ensured admission, but also a combination of all these factors mentioned above.
