With the 2021 JAMB UTME concluded and results out, it is important to remember a proven admission truth: a high JAMB score is not an automatic ticket to admission, and a moderate JAMB score below 200 does not automatically disqualify you from gaining admission this year.
5 Strategic Questions Every 2021 Candidate Must Answer Now
- What Is My First-Choice University's General Cut-Off Mark? Check whether your UTME score meets or exceeds the minimum institutional cut-off mark of your chosen school.
- What Is the Departmental Cut-Off Mark for My Target Course? A candidate with 210 meets a university's 180 general cut-off mark, but may need a Change of Course if their chosen course (e.g., Medicine or Law) requires 260+.
- Do I Need a Change of Course or Institution? If your score is below your current school's or department's cut-off mark, be proactive and switch to a less competitive course or to a state university/polytechnic where your score is highly competitive.
- How Does My School Conduct Its Post-UTME Screening? Find out whether your university conducts a CBT exam (testing English, Maths, Aptitude, or your 4 JAMB subjects) or grades O'Level results.
- How Early Am I Starting My Post-UTME Preparation? Don't wait until your school's Post-UTME form comes out before you start studying! Download the Mentra POST-UTME app (available on both Android and iOS) right now to practice authentic past questions from your target institution.
