Although it was suggested that applicants should use their UTME scores for longer than a year, this law was never passed. In the end, it failed to become legislation. As a result, you cannot use this year’s results for the upcoming year, at least not right away.

Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, the former JAMB registrar, I believe did a good job of defending this. The elderly guy claimed that JAMB was designed to measure academic competence rather than intelligence (IQ).

If JAMB is an IQ test, it might be adopted and utilized for more than a year.

This basis, however, was not acceptable because O’level results from WAEC, NECO, and NABTEB—which can also be utilized for years—are not intended to measure our IQ.

However, we can still submit to him because these SSCE scores show that secondary school education were completed rather than a year spent studying for an entrance exam.

Why You Can’t Get Admission?

The three primary reasons you might not get admitted were explicitly announced by the admissions committee. The body, though, thought there were more, which I think my previously linked blogs had supported.

So without waste of time, let’s give you the few reasons why you might not get admission.

1. Jamb Score Too Low

Institutions typically state the minimum UTME score you must get in order to qualify for their post-UTME exams or entrance screenings. For instance, the Universities of Ibadan and Lagos state 200 above.

There is a list of courses and the UTME scores that Federal University Oye Ekiti, University of Ilorin, Adekunle Ajasin University, and others seek for each. Some people will say 180 and higher, whereas our polytechnics and schools of education might suggest 120 and higher.

2. Not Meeting Post UTME Score

Because of your poor post-UTME or screening results, you might not be admitted. After the UTME, you must take another exam for specific universities. “Post UTME” refers to this. Even if applicants achieve the desired JAMB scores, universities like UNILORIN, UI, UNILAG, FUTA, ABU, and UNIBEN will still test them.
