4. Business administration

Below are the courses that are lucrative in Nigeria;


1. PHARMACY

Let us to be sincere,  people who study this course has the advantage of making it big here in Nigeria. Pharmacy is all about the study of dr.ugs and how it works in the body. It is either you work as a community pharmacist (these are the pharmacist you see in your community and also take not that chemist and pharmacist are not the same)  or you can work as an hospital pharmacist (these are pharmacist you see in the hospital)  or you can work as an industrial pharmacist (these are the pharmacist that produce the dr.ug we use).  If you want to make it real big in the line of pharmacy, i will advise you to go for industrial or community pharmacy because they have more advantage of making more money than the hospital pharmacy.

2. MEDICINE & SURGERY

Even though the doctors are not paid as high as they want, they have more advantage of making more money in Nigeria. They can also decide to work overseas or they can decide to specialize in a particular field, thereby increasing their pay/salary. Some might even decide to become a lecturer. People who study these courses has a lot of chances of making it big financially as they don't bother to seek for employment, most of them are employed immediately after school.

3. DENTISTRY & DENTAL SURGERY

Dentistry and dental surgery is all about the study of the oral cavity. I know some people might disagree that dentistry does not worth being third on the list but the truth is that both doctors and dentists are paid on same salary scale (CONHESS).  They also have the opportunity to specialise like the counterpart (doctors)  in a particular field.  They also have the opportunity to work in the oversea after they sit for licensing exam.  In USA, dentists are the highest paid profession, they are more paid than doctors but here in Nigeria, they are paid same salary.

4. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

As the word implies, it is all about business and we all know that business is running the world. The richest black man in the world,  Aliko Dangote is a businessman. People who study this course have the opportunity to stand alone (become an entrepreneur)  and run their business venture. Most times,  they tend to be successful in the business  because they know more about business and how it works.

5. ENGINEERING

All forms of engineering is lucrative if they have the opportunity to work in a big engineering firm. All forms of engineering like petrochemical, mechanical, civil, electrical and so on. People who study these courses really make it big financially most especially those who study petrochemical engineering. These people are paid well in Nigeria.  The disadvantage they have is that they can hardly stand alone at the early stage of their career.

6. ECONOMICS

One thing i like this course is that people who study it can work almost everywhere, i mean that you can find them in almost all sectors like the educational sector, business sector, banking sector and so on. Also they are paid well and they also have the opportunity to stand alone as an entrepreneur.

7. LAW

Though there are argument that law is no longer lucrative but it remain number 7 on the list. People who study  law to become lawyer know how they make their money because they look comfortable. They also further to become barristers,  SAN (Senior Advocate of Nigeria) and so on.

8. ICT 

For those who don't know the full meaning of ICT, it means Information and Communication Technology and when i say ICT,  i mean people who study any course related to computer, website designing etc.  I refer them to as computer gurus or tech gurus. We all know that it is technology making things happen in this world. These guys are really paid well and they can become a boss of their own (an entrepreneur).

9. NURSING

I have reasons why nursing is the number 9 on my list.  The reason is that they easily get job in the hospital due to the high need of nurses in the hospital. Also they can proceed to become "matron". In a nut shell,  they are well paid and they easily get job compared to other health related courses.

10. MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE 

Nowadays, hospitals prefer to employ med lab scientists to biochemist or microbiologist,  the reason is that med lab science has covered both microbiology and biochemistry.  Therefore, they easily get employed and they are paid well.

Take note that this list is not official, everything up there is based on my opinion but if you feel the list is incomplete or wrong,  you can let us know your opinion.

JAMB 2018-How to pass POST UME with ease

POST UME is back, yeah it is better you believe that POST UME is back.  I have two news for you, one good news and one bad news.

 The good news is that POST UME is back, the era of screening point is gone. The screening point have made some people to register for "special center" in order to have 9 A1 in WAEC and they also paid for JAMB runs just because they want to study big courses like medicine and surgery, law, pharmacy and so on. Now that POST UME has been introduced, the admission slot will be given to those that really prepared for the exam and passed on merit.

The bad news is that the news was announced late as schools will soon start selling their respective POST UME form. I understand the fact that most students were not preparing for this exam, most of the students are busy learning skills, but now that there is POST UME then i will advise you to start dusting the book that have been abandoned immediately after the conclusion of JAMB exam and start reading like there is no tomorrow because you have a very short time.

Though some schools might still want to conduct screening but I am very certain that schools like UNIBEN, UNILAG, UI, OAU, FUNAAB,FUTA will conduct POST UME exam.

Now let's us go into the main aim of this post; how to pass POST JAMB easily. There are alot of ways to pass POST JAMB but have it in mind that the method that works for me might not work for you and vice versa. Although your method of passing POST JAMB might be different but there is one thing that will surely be similar, which is "Reading of books".

POST OUTLINES 

1. Practice past questions.
2. Where can i get the past questions.
3. Set a limit for yourself.
4. Attend tutorials.
5. Put God first.
6. Get to the exam hall early.

PRACTICE PAST QUESTIONS

The truth is that universities are very lazy to set new questions for the exam therefore they recycle previous year's questions. Make sure you get the past questions for your school and study the past questions well.

WHERE CAN I GET THE PAST QUESTIONS

*You can get it online :Google has made everything easy for us,just type the school name with past questions, for example type UNILAG Past Questions on Google. It will surely bring out what you need either in PDF format or you will see it on the website. If you choose UI as your preferred school, then i have some past questions for only science students on this blog. You can check it out here.

*Get it in the bookstore : You can get the hard-copy in the bookstore if you don't like the soft copy. Most times, some bookstores might not have the past questions, so i will advise you to go to the bookstore inside the school campus (the school you applied in JAMB).

Read Also: Factors that determines cut-off mark 

SET A LIMIT FOR YOURSELF 

Yeah, you need to set a limit in terms of what you need to score in POST JAMB exam. For instance, the POST UME exam is over 400marks, then you should set a limit above average which is 200 and above. This will help you work towards your goal (that's if you are really sincere with your goal). You should have it in mind that you are competing with numerous candidates for limited admission slot, so you should make your limit a little bit higher.

ATTEND TUTORIALS

You might not really need this but i will advise an average student that want to get admitted this year to attend tutorials for the short period of time you have left. The benefit you will gain from attending tutorials is that it will help you check yourself to know if you are really ready and also it will revive your memory about what you have always known.

PUT GOD FIRST

Have it in mind to always put God first in whatever you do, mistakes might occur when they are marking the exam paper but put God first and always pray as you read.

GET TO THE EXAM HALL EARLY

Getting to the exam hall early will help you to relax your mind and also help you to remember all what you have read. I know you won't want a situation where the exam would have began before you reach the exam hall. I expect you to use this time to check if all the materials you need for the exam is intact.

JAMB 2018-How to smash 300+ in JAMB

In a twinkle of an eye or let me say within a short time, JAMB will start selling their form again, and you know what?  Million of candidates are going to purchase the form together with you.

 To keep it short, i will say you are competing with over one million candidates. You might be thinking how it is over one million candidates, let me break or dismantle it down to your level. 

Last year, it was reported by JAMB that over 1.7million candidates applied for UTME,  out of this multitude, universities in Nigeria will accept maximum of 600,000 candidates altogether. Do the math yourself then you see the candidates that will be left without admission.  Now let us say half of those candidates that were denied admission,will partake in the upcoming UTME together with the new set of candidates. I will leave you to do the math all by yourself. Looking at the number of candidates that will partake in the upcoming UTME, there are chances that you might be admitted and there are also chances that you might be denied admission. 

 This is left to you, but u want to be of help,  i mean i want to assist you. What type of assistance are you thinking about? No no,  not that kind of assistance, i am the owner of www.admissiontipz.blogspot.com ,so far you can read English Language then you should know that i specialize in assisting candidates by giving out helpful and useful tips. I hope you find it helpful and useful as I do. 

You all know the frustration of writing JAMB again and again, well if you don't, i do. I wrote JAMB twice before gaining admission into the university. The earlier you realize how frustrating it is, the better. I have not started my assistance which I'd promised, all what you have been reading is just the intro of this ebook.I hope you don't mind the way i write, i just want this E-book as engaging as possible. I hope you are ready to read what i have for you, don't be surprised or should i say don't be disappointed if what you see are things you already know but for those who don't know this things, you will be glad you read all this. 

Now, the time has come to start telling you things you need to know. You are ready?  If yes,  let's ride on. If no, then i don't know what to say.

POST OUTLINES 

1. Read your book.
2. Know that JAMB is once in a year.
3. Attend tutorials.
4. Find the right method of reading.
5. Minimize and utilize time spent on social media.
6. Practice makes perfect.
7. Create a time-table.
8. Go extra miles.
9. Put aside that JAMB stigma.

1. READ YOUR BOOK

You want to pass an exam, do you think that it will be possible without reading the required books, when i say the required books i refer to JAMB recommended textbooks for each subjects.

 Tell me, what were you expecting me to say,you think i will say kneel down and let me pray to your God? Even God said He will help those that help themselves, my question for you is that,  in what way have you have yourself? If you are a new comer to UTME,  you might not understand what i am saying, go and ask those who have been writing UTME for more than two times now. 

 They will tell you the regret they have which is refusal to read their books. You can't expect to reap where you have not sown,  you can't vomit what you have to taken into your body,  the same also applies to reading,  you can't know what you have not read or seen. It is just like being asked to define E.M.F (i know this will be strange to the art and commercial students, even some science students) ,you can't expect art and commercial students to define it simply because they are not familiar to the word which is in physics. 

If you get my point, then kudos to you, but if you don't, read this post again,i will be waiting for you. Once again, i repeat read your books, the little you read might be what you will see during your UTME CBT exam.

2. KNOW THAT JAMB IS ONCE IN A YEAR

   You might thinking if i am ins*ne when writing this sub topic, but i want you to look beyond the sub topic and you will know what i am really trying to pass across to you. 

Have it in mind that if you fail this upcoming UTME exam,  then you will have to wait for one year before you experience another one,  then you will know i meant by frustration. When i say frustration, i mean the harsh words you will receive from your parents everyday, the kind of envy you will have upon your friends who are already in school and lastly which is common,  your friends has gotten new friends of the same level, you would be left aside until you meet up with that level.  

You should make this your motivation, the truth is that there is always one person that will determine if you fail or pass and that person is YOU of course. Yes you.  

Your preparation determines your JAMB success. I repeat once again, endeavour to pass JAMB once and for all.

3. ATTEND TUTORIALS 

   Look here,  you need to get things right,  there is a huge difference between reading your book and attending tutorials. Although the two contributes to your JAMB success but they play different roles. 

I know the question you have in mind is how are they different?, although you go to tutorials to receive lectures which is the same thing as reading.  But i will tell you that you can't be an island of knowledge as they say.  There are some topics that you will find boring or cumbersome for reading but going to the tutorial and your tutor to explain it for you,  if the tutor is an experienced one,  then you have no problem but if it is otherwise then i remain mute.

Attend tutorials for the right reason not for the wrong reason which you know what i am talking about. Some research concludes that we tend to know more when we explain to other person,  so always be ready to explain a particular topic to your fellow mates.

4. FIND THE RIGHT METHOD OF READING

We,  as human being have different methods of doing things. Reading is one of them. Different candidates with different method of reading.  

Some candidate might decide to read in the midnight while some might decide to read in the day time,some might decide to read in quiet environment while some might decide to wear earpiece while reading,  whatever way you read, the main thing is that you choose the one that suit you.  If a particular method is not working for you,  then try another method.

 As for me, i will recommend the method of reading in the night, why?  The night is so silent and nobody will disturb you. In case you have not been following, i repeat,  find the method of reading that is suitable for you.

5. MINIMIZE AND UTILIZE TIME SPENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA

This is a million dollar truth.  Social media have done more damage than good to our educational system and to the student themself. Students no longer find time to read again, all they do is to chat on facebook, twitter and so on. 

 Don't get me wrong, i didn't say you should not chat or tweet but minimize the time you spend on them and utilize them for reading. The truth is that you choose either social media that might damage you or reading of your books that might bring success. Choose one.

6. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

I don't need to tell you this or convince you about this, you should have heard "practice makes perfect" before now. The same thing applies to preparation foe any kind of exam including UTME. 

Do you know why you know how to walk?  When you were little, you might have fallen many times you tried to walk but due to persistence and practice,  here you are now,  walking up and down. The same thing applies to reading, you cannot just read a textbook once and expect to know everything you read once.

  Even the so-called genius read more than once to he able to know what they know. I laugh at those students that will start reading a week before the exam.  The week before your exam is meant for you to revise all what you have read.

7. CREATE A TIME-TABLE

This is very important and relevant if you want to have a success in the upcoming UTME exam. You should understand that this time-table os important. 

For the fact that nobody will scold or beat you if you go against the time-table doesn't mean you shouldn't be sincere with it.  Don't play with your success or let me use the word meddle. Follow the time-table diligently and you will be surprise with the way things will work out for you.  

I repeat, don't deceive yourself, be sincere with yourself.

8. GO EXTRA MILES

When i say you should go extra miles, what i really mean is that you should go beyond reading. You can do this by making research about a particular subject or topic online by Google search.

 You can also go extra mile by answering some possible questions under a particular topic. This reminds me of UTME past questions, endeavour to answer all the questions from each year.  You never can say,  you might be answering your upcoming UTME questions.

9. PUT ASIDE THAT JAMB STIGMA

Yeah, students has also placed stigma on JAMB. The stigma is that JAMB is synonymous to failure. The moment you put the stigma aside and prepare tirelessly for UTME, then you are walking toward your success. 

Let me tell you something in contrary to what you believe,  it doesn't take a genius ti pass UTME, even brilliant ones fail if the refuse to prepare.  Just be ready to follow all what i have told you.

JAMB 2018-Some admission terms and their meaning

In my previous post, I explained factors that determines cut-off mark for schools and for course (JAMB and University cut off mark). I made mention that the main factor that determines cut-off mark is "statistics",which means the number of applicants that choose a particular school or course. If you didn't read it, you can read it here after reading this post.

In this post, i want to shed light on some admission terms which we all use on a daily basis.

 As you all know, this blog is all about giving you the best admission tips for a successful admission process. You can check more posts on this blog for more admission tips you might need or you can contact me if you have any admission issues bothering you.

POST OUTLINES

1. Cut-off mark.
2. Post ume/Screening.
3. One/Two sitting result.
4. Admission list.
5. Original JAMB result.
6. Jamb brochure.
7. JAMB syllabus.
8. JAMB past questions.
9. Change of course/ institution.
10. Direct entry.

 Back to the main aim of this post,  I am going to list and explain ten admission terms, also you can give us more by using the comment box below.

CUT-OFF MARK

As a student, you should be familiar with this term and if you are not,  i will explain it to you.  Cut off mark is the benchmark or let me say boundary at which a student must reach before been offered admission into a university. Cut-off mark is in two sections; JAMB cut off mark and University cut off mark. In the University cut off mark, some states are usually favoured, that is what they call "catchment area". I have already explain the difference between JAMB cut-off mark and University cut-off mark on this blog, you didn't read it? Read it here.

Read Also: Factor that determines cut-off mark 

POST UME/SCREENING

After the scraping of POST UME exam, schools have now introduced another system of admission which they call SCREENING.  Screening are in two forms; it can be in form of physical interview also it can be in form of grading of results (point system). On this blog, i have explained the questions asked during screening and how to answer them. Also, i have explained things you might need for upcoming screening.



ONE/TWO SITTING RESULT

This is common term in admission process. One/two sitting result simply refer to the number of results you are using for your admission application. For one sitting,  it is either you use WAEC result,GCE result or NECO result, while for two sitting, it is either you use WAEC and GCE results, GCE and NECO results or WAEC and NECO results.

Read Also: Disadvantages of using two sitting results

ADMISSION LIST

After all the admission processes, this is always the expectation of all aspirants. The admission list contain names of successful candidates that applied for admission. It is always released in batch,  what i mean is that we have "First list" which is also called "Merit list","second list" and sometimes "third list".

ORIGINAL JAMB RESULT

This is one thing every candidates that want to apply for admission must possess. This result is different from the ordinary JAMB result that you printed out when your JAMB result was released, the original JAMB result is used for admission processes. How do I get the original JAMB result? Simple, you will have to purchase a scratch card worth #2500 in order to print the original JAMB result.

Read Also: Difference between ordinary JAMB result and original JAMB result

JAMB BROCHURE

This is a material that all "jambites (candidates preparing for JAMB exam)". This material includes the name of courses to study in university and their requirements; requirements like the subject combination for your course and universities that offer those courses.

JAMB SYLLABUS

This is also a material that all "Jambites (candidates preparing for JAMB exam) " in order to pass the exam easily. This material includes the subjects to do in JAMB exam and the area of concentration for the student to read.

JAMB PAST QUESTION

I expect all candidates preparing for JAMB exam to be familiar with JAMB past question. JAMB past question includes all the previous years questions of JAMB exam,  this past question helps the candidates to know the way JAMB set their questions.

CHANGE OF COURSE/INSTITUTION

This is done after the JAMB exam. It is all about changing your course of study or your university for certain reasons like not scoring up to expectation for the course and so on. How do I change my course/institution? Simple, you will have to buy a scratch card which is #2500, after that, you will login to JAMB portal and follow the due process. To make things easier, go to the cybercafe, they will help you change the course/institution.

Read Also: Why you should change your course

DIRECT ENTRY

This is another way to gain admission into the university. This method of admission into the university is only valid for polytechnics student that have finish his/her ND level. If admitted by the University, they enter 200 level immediately without passing through 100 level.

JAMB 2018 -Factors that determines the cut-off mark

In my previous post, i explained the difference between JAMB cut off mark and University cut off mark. I made mention that JAMB cut off mark does not guarantee your admission, your admission is guaranteed by the University cut off mark, if you didn't read it, you can read it here.

Both JAMB cut off mark and University cut off mark are determined based on the same factor which is "statistic". What do I mean by statistic?

Read Also: Difference and similarities between JAMB and University cut off mark 

Statistics means the number of applicants for the school, number of applicants for the course, number of pass rate in JAMB or POST UME,  and number of fail rate in JAMB and POST UME. I will explain them for you, so read attentively.

POST OUTLINES

1. Number of applicants for the school.

2. Number of applicants for the course.

3. Number of pass rate.

4. Number of fail rate.

NUMBER OF APPLICANTS FOR THE SCHOOL 

This matters alot when determining the JAMB cut off mark of the school. Also, you should know that it is JAMB that determines the cut off mark for a school ( i am referring to the JAMB cut off mark),which means the school can go above the cut off mark to admit students but they should not go below the cut off mark.

Read Also: How to identify ordinary JAMB result and original JAMB result


Remember cut off mark is a benchmark, in other words,it is a boundary the University should not pass. For example, you can't expect cut off mark for EKSU to be higher than the cut off mark for OAU simply because the number of applicants that opt in for OAU is always higher than the number of applicants that opt in for EKSU every year. Most times, the highest cut off mark JAMB can set for a school is 220 based on previous years cut off mark.

NUMBER OF APPLICANTS FOR THE COURSE

In this case, JAMB does not have a say in setting the cut off mark, it is actually the school that set the cut off marks for each courses. You scoring high mark in school POST UME ot SCREENINIG does not guarantee your admission, your admission is guaranteed by you surpassing the cut off mark for your course.

Read Also: Disadvantages of using two sitting result 

A student that choose medicine and surgery and got 75% in POST UME or screening can not be compared to a student that choose microbiology and got the same 75%,why? The student that choose microbiology might eventually get admitted since the number of applicants for the course is less but the student that choose medicine and surgery might find it hard to gain admission simply because the number of applicants are too much thereby giving the student a slim chance to surpass the cut off mark.

All i am trying to say is that the cut off mark for courses are determined by the number of respective applicants that applied for the courses.

NUMBER OF PASS RATE

This factor also play an important role in determining the cut off mark for a course or JAMB cut off mark. Due to this reason, the higher the pass rate the higher the cut off mark for a course.

Assuming a course like medicine and surgery has 100 admission slot, out of the multitude that opt in for medicine and surgery, let us say 180 students got above 75% in the school screening, definitely the cut off mark for medicine and surgery will increase.

Read Also: Mistakes to avoid for the upcoming screening


Remember that the pass rate is directly proportional to the cut off mark for the course.

NUMBER OF FAIL RATE

This also has effect on the cut off mark of courses.  If the number that failed is many then the cut off mark will be low.

Assuming 200 students applied for botany, then out of the 200 students, the highest among them got 56%,this means that the cut off mark will be low.

Remember that the higher the fail rate the lower the cut off marks.

JAMB 2018-Difference and similarities between JAMB and University cut off mark

It has been a while i posted here due to some reasons, i apologise my silence on this blog, apology accepted? Yeah,  thanks.

Today topic me and you need to address is the cut off mark, since it is the trending thing in the educational news.  According to JAMB news, cut off mark for all schools will be release on 21st August, 2017 but those that mean that if you pass above this JAMB cut off mark, you will be admitted, the answer to this question is what i want to address to Nigerian students participating in this year's admission processes. This brings us to the topic of today: difference and similarities between JAMB and University cut off mark.

Read Also: Questions that might be asked during admission screening and how to answer them


Yeah, both sounds familiar but they shouldn't be taken for one another, JAMB cut off and University cut off marks are similar in some aspect and also different in some aspect as well. As a serious student, i don't need to start telling you that cut off mark is the benchmark a student must attain before he or she is considered for admission.

Before I start to compare and contrast between the two, i will like to engage my readers to share what they understand by the word "cut off mark". Use the comment box below to share your opinion.

POST OUTLINES

1. Difference between JAMB cut-off mark and University cut-off mark.

2. Similarities between JAMB cut-off mark and University cut-off mark.


DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JAMB CUT OFF MARK AND UNIVERSITY CUT OFF MARK 

By the name, you should have known that the number one difference between the two is that JAMB cut off mark is set by JAMB body while University cut off mark is set by respective universities in Nigeria.
Another important thing for you to take note is that JAMB cut off mark does not guarantee your admission, your admission is guaranteed by the University cut off mark. What do I mean?  You need illustration? Okay, let me illustrate my point;

Read Also: Things you need for the upcoming screening

Assuming Mr A got 210 in JAMB and 65% in screening, then JAMB cut off mark is set at 200 and University cut off mark is set at 70% which means that Mr A scaled through JAMB cut off mark but Mr A didn't meet up with the University cut off mark, therefore Mr A is denied admission or sometimes might be given a lesser course to study.

From the illustration above, JAMB cut off mark only act as the gateway to qualify for the University screening or exam while University cut off mark act as the gateway to qualify for admission. You get my point? Yeah,  let's continue.

Also, JAMB cut off mark is specific on the University while the University cut off mark is specific on the courses which the school offer.  I know you will be asking what do i mean, an illustration will be better to explain this better.

Let us use UNILAG as a case study, assuming JAMB set the cut off mark for UNILAG to be 200, it implies that all the student that choose UNILAG and score above 200 in JAMB are valid for the UNILAG screening. Also if UNILAG set the cut off mark for Law to be 70%, then all candidates that applied for law and scored above 70% will be valid for admission. For more understanding, see this;

JAMB cut off mark --->valid for university screening--->university cut off mark--->valid for admission. 

The chain above have explained all i have been trying to explain.

SIMILARITIES BETWEEN JAMB AND UNIVERSITY CUT OFF MARK 

There are no much similarities between both of them but the aim of both cut off marks is to select the best out of the candidates that applied for admission.
