5 Reasons Why Candidates May Miss Out on Admission Offers from JAMB and Their Institutions

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and various institutions of higher learning in Nigeria have specific requirements and procedures that candidates must follow to secure admission. Unfortunately, many candidates miss out on admission offers due to avoidable mistakes. Here are five common reasons why candidates may miss out on admission offers:

1. Wrong Subject Combination

One of the most common mistakes candidates make is selecting the wrong subject combination for their chosen course. JAMB and institutions have specific subject requirements for each course, and candidates who fail to meet these requirements may be disqualified from admission. It is essential for candidates to carefully check the subject requirements for their chosen course before registering for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

2.Failure to Upload O'Level Result to JAMB Portal

Candidates are required to upload their O'Level results to the JAMB portal during the registration process. Failure to do so may result in disqualification from admission. Candidates must ensure that they upload their correct O'Level results to the JAMB portal to avoid any issues.

3.Late Uploading of Results to JAMB Portal

Candidates are required to upload their results to the JAMB portal within a specified timeframe. Late uploading of results may result in disqualification from admission. Candidates must ensure that they upload their results to the JAMB portal on time to avoid any issues.

4.Failure to Meet Required Cut-Off Point for the Course

Candidates must meet the required cut-off point for their chosen course, both in their UTME score and O'Level grades. Failure to meet these requirements may result in disqualification from admission. Candidates must ensure that they meet the required cut-off point for their chosen course to avoid any issues.

5.Improper or Failure to Register for Post-UTME from the Institution of First Choice

Many institutions require candidates to register for the Post-UTME screening exercise as a prerequisite for admission. Failure to register for the Post-UTME or improper registration may result in disqualification from admission. Candidates must ensure that they register for the Post-UTME screening exercise from their institution of first choice to avoid any issues.

In conclusion, candidates must be careful to avoid these common mistakes to increase their chances of securing admission into their institution of choice. It is essential for candidates to carefully follow the instructions and requirements set by JAMB and their institution of choice to avoid any issues.
