After completing the UTME, many candidates wonder what's next in their journey towards admission into their desired universities. Some sit back, assuming their scores alone will pave the way, while others, disheartened by low scores, consider giving up on their aspirations. However, this article sheds light on essential steps, inquiries, and actions every candidate should undertake while awaiting admission into their dream institution.
It's alarming that some candidates select inappropriate subjects during UTME registration, oblivious to the fact that each course has specific subject requirements. This oversight can jeopardize admission prospects. Furthermore, terms like "Post-UTME" and "departmental cut-off mark" may elude some candidates. This article aims to address these gaps comprehensively.
Choosing the Right Subjects:
Did you ensure that the subjects chosen align with the requirements of your preferred course? Simply scoring high in JAMB isn't sufficient if the chosen subjects aren't appropriate. Referencing a real-life scenario, where a candidate missed out on admission due to subject selection, underscores the importance of consulting the JAMB Brochure.
Age Consideration:
Are you aware of the age limit for admission into tertiary institutions? For most public institutions in Nigeria, the minimum age requirement is sixteen. Failure to meet this criterion can impede admission, necessitating exploration of alternative options or waiting until eligibility is attained.
O'level Subject Alignment:
Similar to subject selection in UTME, ensuring alignment with O'level subjects pertinent to your desired course is crucial. Consulting the JAMB Brochure for credit requirements and key subjects is indispensable for a successful application process.
Preparing for Post-UTME:
Familiarizing yourself with the Post-UTME screening process of your preferred institution is imperative. Whether it's a CBT exam, physical screening, or online assessment, understanding the format and requirements is essential. Utilize resources provided by your school of choice to prepare effectively.
Preparation for School's Post-UTME Screening:
Adequate preparation is contingent on understanding the nature of your school's Post-UTME screening. Gather required credentials and procure past questions to enhance readiness. Future articles will delve into comprehensive preparation strategies for Post-UTME success.
Navigating the post-JAMB admission process requires diligence and foresight. By addressing these critical questions and taking proactive measures, candidates can maximize their chances of securing admission into their preferred institutions.
