  Mistakes You Avoid During 2019 Admission Process 

JAMB 2019



Most of the aspirants usually make some mistakes that can cost them their admission, you really don't want it to happen to you , do you? 

You might ask yourself,  what are the possible mistakes that cost me my admission the previous years (if you have done JAMB before) ? I will be talking about those mistakes on this post,  stay tuned!!!

Before i continue on the main topic, i will advice you to keep on reading AdmissionTipz blog post everyday and like our page on facebook to get admission tips that will be of help to you. 


Now back to the main topic,  what are the mistakes that can possibly cost you your admission in 2019?


Wrong Subject Combination  


This is the major mistake that alot of aspirants make every year. The use of brochure in the preparation of JAMB exam should never be underestimated.  Imagine how sad it will be when you beat the cut off mark for your course and you are been rejected all because of wrong subject combination.  One thing about this mistake is that,  after you have sat down for your JAMB exam,  there is no longer a solution to this mistake except you decide to change your course to the one that conform with the subject combination.



Wrong O'level Result 


This mistake is also common among the aspirants  and can surely cost an aspirant his or her admission. You may ask that how can you make such mistake?, it is very possible.  It is either the person who registered you for JAMB did mistake while filling it,  or you intentionally did it to scale through or to try your luck.   The interesting part is that,  you might be admitted but you can't escape it when you are doing your registration in school,  you can't.  If you are an aspirant with two sittings,  you can use it although some courses require one sitting.

Wrong Information 


There are alot of information going here and there,  mostly fake news.  Most aspirants usually believe fake information without actually making research of it. 

There was a case of an aspirant i met in the CyberCafe,  he was registering for POST UME.  Then something painful happened,  he paid the registration fee and later discovered that the school he was processing does not accept "second choice candidates ". The money he paid has gone because it was boly written on the school site that the money is non refundable after been paid.  Painful,  isn't it? 

If you want to get the real and original information,  you can reach out to me by checking my contact page or you can check the blog from time to time. 



Inconsistent Age In Your Documents 


You are 17 in your WAEC certificate, 18 in your birth certificate and maybe 19 in your JAMB registration form,  then you need nobody to tell you that something will be wrong somewhere.  Age is an important factor during admission processes, some schools don't  joke with it.  You might have seen some school write on their website that they  do not admit anyone less than 16 years old.

Wrong Spelling  Of Name


This mistake can be corrected even after you have sat down for you JAMB exam,  you will just have to go to any nearest JAMB office to edit your name. You might be charged for it. But nevertheless,  you should take note that your name is well spelt during your JAMB registration.

JAMB 2019- Things To Consider When Choosing A School

JAMB 2019-Things To Consider When Choosing A School 

Nigerian universities JAMb 2019


Choosing the right school to study is as important as choosing the right course to study.  In my previous post,  I talked about "Things to consider when choosing a course ", if you didn't read it, kindly click here.

In this post,  i will be focusing on things a student or an aspirant must consider before choosing the school ". But before i go deep into the topic, let me ask you this question " Can you create your own JAMB profile account? " If your answer is "No" then read it here but if your answer is "Yes" ,then i will say kudos to you then.

Back to the topic,  during JAMB registration,  you will be asked to choose four institutions which comprises of "First choice" , "Second choice" , "Third choice" and "Fourth choice". Let me educate your on what to do;

First choice university - You are advised to choose a federal University if you are not a type that is financially buoyant. You can pick schools like OAU,  UI,  UNILAG and other federal Universities in Nigeria. 


Second choice university - In this part,  you are advised to choose either a state owned university or a polytechnics.  In this part,  you MUST not choose any federal universities especially UI,  OAU, UNN,  UNILAG and others,  because no matter what you score,  you wont be allowed to write the POST UME exam.  You can pick schools like EKSU,  OOU,  DELSU and for polytechnic; YABATECH, Ibadan Poly, Ilaro Poly and others.

Third choice University - The option of schools in this category is not much,  but you can just pick the one that best suit your taste based on location and tuition fee.


Fourth choice University - In this category, you wont see any university here,  you will see Vocational institutes like PEFTI institutes,  Computer Programming institutes and others. 


Now i am sure you already have idea about what choosing a university or institute in the four categories look like. The question you should now ask yourself is which school is the best for me?  Which school will be easier for me to get admitted based on the look of things?  Which school will have adequate facilities for my course of study?


All those questions will be answered in this post,  just read carefully. Below are the things you should consider when choosing a university ;

ADMISSION PROCESS OF THE SCHOOL 


 Every schools have their method of processing admission.  Some use the screening point calculated from your JAMB score and o'level result, some use POST UME and JAMB score to calculate your screening point,  while some use only your POST UME score,  so whatever way,  you should be able to know the one which suit you well.

RANKING OF THE SCHOOL


You might think that this doesn't matters,  it really does alot.  If you want to check your School ranking in Nigeria and in the world,  click here. This should help you in deciding which school you should choose.

COMPETITIVE


Generally,  all top federal universities are competitive ranging from 30,000 to over 40,000 aspirants choosing a particular school competing for minimum slot ( survival of the fittest).


SCHOOL CALENDAR


This should not be new to any aspirants that Nigerian universities don't have a uniform resumption date (their resume dates are different).  Most times,  some schools are ahead of another schools with one semester or less.  You won't like to be at home while your friends in other schools are almost done with first semester. 


CONDUCIVE 


Not all universities in Nigeria are  conducive for learning,  instead they are like burden to the students. Make sure you make some findings on the school facilities like their hostel,  lecture room,  equipment and others.

And Lastly;

LOCATION


I intentionally save this for the last because students are fond of choosing a school very far from their home,  someone living  in lagos is studying in abia state which is ought not to be.  When choosing a school,  consider your safety when traveling to such destinations.


From the above,  i said you should consider "the location of the school ,  how conducive the school is,  their school calendar, how competitive the school is, the ranking of the school and the way the admission is processed ".

A Must Read For All Jambites 2019

A MUST READ FOR ALL JAMBITES PREPARING FOR JAMB 2019!!!

Create jamb account


Hello readers,  today I will be writing on "guides you should know for JAMB 2019 admission processes ". Let me tell you something you need to have in mind before going deep,  over 1.2million aspirants register for JAMB and there is only slot for over 200k -300k  aspirants. Now lets do the math,  out of 1.2million that registered for JAMB,  only 200k-300k aspirants that finally gain admission,  then it means that 900k -1million won't be admitted and they will need to apply for the following year JAMB again. I hope you can now see the reason why you must gain admission at all cost. 

Before i proceed,  kindly "like" this page,  it will be of help to you if you are really determined to gain admission in 2019.

Now let me proceed,  there are three secrets of making your admission very certain,  they are ;

1. Have good grade in your five compulsory subjects in WAEC /NECO/GCE
2. Have a very high score in JAMB Cbt exam.
3. Have a very high score in Post JAMB. 

Looking at the three secrets,  there is one thing that is common,  which is reading relentlessly. You may ask that what do i mean?  Okay,  let me shed more light by using illustration ;

* Matthew passed his WAEC and JAMB,  but failed POST UTME

* Sam passed his WAEC,  got a low mark in JAMB and low mark in post UTME

* Mark passed his WAEC,  JAMB,  POST UME 

Now, look at the three illustrations  , who do you think will certainly be admitted?  Yeah,  it  will be Mark and why do you think so? Simply because he passed all his exam and he read his books relentlessly. Don't allow the fact that you got 320 in JAMB make you feel relaxed for POST UTME.

Now,  another aspect is the course you want to study;  the question you should be asking yourself is that "how competitive was this course last year? " and "how 1 will it be this year?". Also, you need to know the minimum score range you must have in JAMB because it varies for different courses.  For example,  someone who want to study "Theatre Art" will need a score range of 240-280 in JAMB and the person will gain admission,  but it is not the same for someone who want to study medicine , you will need the score range of 300-350 in JAMB .

Hope you understood what i meant, okay lets go to the last point 👇 👇 👇 

Remember to like this page,  you will find it useful.

Now lets talk about school of your choice, these are the things you must look out for when choosing a school

* If the school is recognised by NUC

* If the course you want to study is accredited in that school by NUC

* Take note of the way they do their Post UTME /screening,  it might favour you or not.

* Most importantly,  take note of how competitive the school is,  if you cant handle the competition,  then go for a school with lesser competition.

Let me wrap it up,  I made three  important point  which are

* Read relentlessly and pass your O'level,  JAMB and Post UTME

* Know the course you want to study and how competitive it is. 

* Know the school that best suit your course.

All in All,  be prepared for the competition.

THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A COURSE/CAREER

Admissiontipz

The Career/Course is Lucrative: Choosing a career/course because it is lucrative is a bad start for you. Please don't get me wrong,  i didn't say it is wrong to choose a lucrative career/course but all I'm saying is that choosing a course "just" because it is very lucrative in which you don't have passion for,  is wrong.  For instance,  a student best subject is physics and in addition to that,  the student is allergic to seeing blood, it shows that medicine and surgery is not his/her career.  Be wise!!!

The Career is Popular: Alot of students nowadays prefer to choose popular courses like medicine and surgery or law simply because it is a popular course.  The truth is that there are alot of doctors regretting why they opted in for medicine and surgery,  and this only happen when you choose a career/course for the wrong reasons other than having passion for the career/course. Courses like biochemistry, microbiology etc are very good courses to choose, why waste your time pursuing medicine and surgery that is always highly competitive.  Choose a career/course because you have passion and knowledge about it and not because it is popular.


Family influence : I have seen families dictates for their children the kind of course they want them to study. Most times,  they will want their children to study the course they studied in school or popular courses like medicine and surgery or law or banking and finance. This kind of situation can be so frustrating because i have once experience it , but how did i solve the problem? I had to sit my parents down and tell them that the course they want me to study is my weakness, that i will fail woefully in that course.  Pour your mind out to them,  make them see reasons why you can't study the course. Take a decision today that will make you happy tomorrow because your family won't be there for you forever.

THINGS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A COURSE/CAREER


Know your strength and weakness: Most students have their strengths and weaknesses one way or the other.  It is rare for a student to be good in all areas.  For instance,  you might be good in mathematics (strength) and be finding biology very difficult (weakness). All this are important factors when deciding your course/career.

Your best subject: This also play a vital role when choosing your course/career. For instance,  if your best subjects are physics and mathematics,  then you should focus on courses based on those two subjects like engineering course. Knowing your best subject will restrict you from choosing courses that are not relevant,  for instance, a student that love mathematics and physics but detest biology and chemistry should know that he/she should remove courses like medicine and surgery from the option when choosing a course/career.



AdmissionTipz


Your goals: I expect every average student to have a goal, i mean a life plan.  You should find time to ask yourself what you really want to be in future,  you can also seek advice from your parents or professional in different field , by doing this,  you will garner more knowledge about the course/career you really want to study.

Admissiontipz


Your passion: The whole list will be incomplete with this,  passion.  Choosing a course/career must be based on your passion. Ask yourself this questions; do i really want this course?  Do i have any skills related to this course? Give an answer to these questions and you will be good to go.  Everything is all about passion because you will easily get frustrated if you choose a course/career you don't have passion for.  Check yourself!!!
