Things You Must Know Before You Register For 2017 JAMB - See The List Here

With 2017 JAMB Form Sales approaching, I decided to drop this guidelines earlier so that those writing JAMB wont make any iota of mistake.


1. WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF JAMB? Please before you register for 2017 jamb, cast away any iota of fear of failure in you. Thought of failure is the beginning of failure.

That you didn't score high last year doesn't mean you wont make it this year. Believe in yourself & be optimistic that this gotta be your last jamb. With God and determination, all things are possible... FORGET THE PAST AND FOCUS ON YOUR BRIGHT FUTURE.

2. CAREER CHOICE: Please I beg you with peculiar intensity of manner, never allow anyone to choose your course of study, be it your parents or close friends... You know yourself and your ability. Ask yourself, do I love this course I wanna put? Do I have the ability and all it takes to study it? Do I have passion for it? Make sure you answer those questions yourself. And also consult your God.

Studying a course you don't have passion for "may" lead to frustrations ... THINK ABOUT IT.

3. RIGHT SUBJECT COMBINATIONS: Make sure you choose the right subject combinations. Someone got 280 in JAMB last year, reach her department cut off mark but not admitted due to this error...

Consult your JAMB brochures or ask anybody studying that your dream course to guide you...If your not informed, you "may" be deformed.

4. DOUBLE JAMB REGISTRATION: For the sake of your future, forget about double registration.

Those caught last year got there JAMB results cancelled and were banned from taking JAMB for 3 years... DO YOU WANNA RISK YOUR FUTURE? THE CHOICE IS YOURS ANYWAY.

5. Exam Malpractice: In as much as we all have the freedom of choice, but I will never advice any of my loved ones to start thinking of malpractice now.

Expo can fail anytime but Brains never fail... IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, WHO WILL?

Good luck to you all that gotta participate in 2017 UTME exam.

See Your JAMB O' Level / UTME Subjects Requirements To Consider Before Choosing A Course

The 2017 UTME registration is expected to commence soon. Already, many candidates are eagerly waiting for the announcement. However, only a few have taken time to decide on the course of study to apply for.

In deciding a course of study, there are few things you should bear in mind;

First, you need to consider if you have interest or academic aptitude for the course you wish to apply for.
Another is, to verify if the course you intend to study is offered in the institution you are applying to. You are also to verify the accreditation status of that course in such institution.

Most importantly, you need to verify if you meet the O’level and UTME Subjects requirements for that particular course.
Each course of study has a specific O’level and UTME Subjects requirements you must meet before you are admitted to study that course. What works for an Engineering course won’t work for a medical course.

Many UTME Candidates often make the mistake of choosing a course that they do not meet the requirements for during UTME registration. Thereby disqualifying themselves of admission from the onset. No school can admit you to study a course you do not have the requirements for.

Even if your name appears on the admission list, you will be disqualified during the screening, verification or clearance process.

Like I mentioned earlier, the UTME registration for 2017 is yet to commence. If I were you, this is the time I would use to make the decision concerning which course of study to choose when the registration begins.

To help you in making that decision, you can make use of the online Jamb Brochure

It will show you the courses available in each higher institution, the O’level and UTME Subject combination or requirements for the courses.

If you are still a bit confused about the O’level requirements of the course you wish to study in any institution. You can post the institution, course, your O’level subjects and UTME Subjects you intend to sit for.

Enlightened members will help you determine if you are good to go or not.

Goodluck!
