WHAT IS TWO SITTING RESULT?

Simple!!!  As the name implies, it is the combination of two results like combining WAEC and NECO result, WAEC and GCE or GCE and NECO.  Either of the three examples are two sitting results.  Now the question is " why do students use two sitting result? ".

Students use two sitting results for one reason which is because of they actually failed a particular core subject in the WAEC exam, so they sit for another exam in order to pass the subject they failed.  Let me use illustration to make my point;

Assuming Mr A sat for WAEC examination and he passed all his subjects but failed mathematics (you know that mathematics is a compulsory subject). So Mr A sat for GCE examination in order to pass mathematics, GCE result was released and Mr A passed mathematics but failed English Language, then the only possible solution is that Mr A should combine his result in order to apply for admission to the university.

The results he combined is called "Two sitting results ". I hope you now understand what two sitting results means.  Good!!!
But that is not where i am heading to, the main focus of the post is to tell you the possible disadvantages of using two sitting results. I will explain as i list them;

UNABLE TO APPLY FOR COMPETITIVE COURSES

This is one of the disadvantages of two sitting result as you can not apply for competitive courses. Imagine five hundred candidates applying for a course like banking and finance, out of that five hundred candidates, half of them will be using one sitting result which is a criteria that can disqualify candidates using two sitting.


IT LIMIT YOUR OPTION

This is very true because candidates using two sitting result can't just choose any course or any university. This makes the candidate who have been dreaming of courses like medicine and surgery go for lower courses that accept two sitting result.



SOME COURSES OR INSTITUTIONS DON'T ACCEPT IT

Do you know that some courses or universities don't accept two sitting result? Yeah, there is, courses under college of medicine in UNILAG don't accept two sitting results and it is the same for all federal universities. This leaves you no option than to go for lower courses or institutions.

WHY DID I POST THIS?

Don't get me wrong here, i am not discouraging candidates with two sitting results but i am only trying to enlighten you on the possible disadvantages of using two sitting results.

So if you are reading this and you are about to write your WAEC or NECO or GCE examination, i will advise you to endeavour to pass all your subjects and use one sitting result for your admission processes. The disadvantages of two sitting results far outweighs the disadvantages of one sitting result.

JAMB 2018-Reasons why you might be denied admission

Being offered admission into a university is the prayer of every Nigerian students. This is because the number of students far outweighs the number of universities we have in Nigeria. Universities are not even helping the matter at all because most of them admit students based on "long-leg" which i know you understand what i mean.
This post is focusing on reasons you might not be offered admission by the school you choose. This reasons are based on my research, so i hope you trust them.

POST OUTLINES

1. Unable to meet cut-off mark for your course.

2. Wrong subject combination in JAMB exam.

3. Age requirement.

4. Failed a core subject in WAEC/NECO/GCE exam.

5. Using two sitting results.

6. Why did i post this?


1. UNABLE TO MEET CUT-OFF MARK FOR YOUR COURSE

This is the most common reason why most of the students are being rejected yearly. For the new-bie, let me explain what i mean by cut-off mark.
Cut-off mark is the bench mark or let me say boundary at which you as a student must reach before been offered admission into a certain university.

There are factors that determines cut-off mark and example of those are; the number of candidates that choose the course, the high or low pass rate of JAMB/screening examination and so on.  Cut-off marks are prone  to increase or decrease by those factor i gave.  I will explain more on the factors i gave  and how cut-off mark is being derived my next post.

2.  WRONG SUBJECT COMBINATION IN JAMB EXAM

This is one avoidable mistake students commit every year. I will always advise a student to make some little research about the course they want to apply for in JAMB exam, and one of those research is finding out about the subject combination for the course. You can simply do this by checking the brochure provided by JAMB. It won't cost you anything to do this little research because it is capable of destroying your admission this year.  Take note!!!!

3.  AGE REQUIREMENT

Though some students below the age requirement of a particular school devise ways to get admitted but i won't advise any student to take the risk of passing JAMB exam and being denied admission simply because of your age (you know how painful it can be). Most schools requires the student to be 16 years old on or before October 1st. I have seen a student that was denied admission because of he was below the age requirement despite meeting other requirements that would have qualified him for the admission slot. So i will advise any student that he or she should make sure that he/she will be 16 years old on or before October 1st.

4.  FAILED A CORE SUBJECT IN WAEC/NECO/GCE EXAM

I find it hard to believe that some students apply for admission despite failing a core subject in WAEC/NECO/GCE exam. Maybe they want to try their luck but to be sincere with you, no university will offer such student an admission slot except the student uses "long-leg" which i know you understand what i am saying.

5.  USING TWO SITTING RESULT

This is also a criteria that cab disqualify a student during admission process. A lot of candidates you are competing with, uses one sitting result and you know the federal universities favour one sitting result more.  Why?  The answer is simple; simply because they believe candidates with one sitting result are more educationally sound.  You got my point? Yeah!!!  I will explain more on the disadvantages of using two sitting result in my next post.

WHY DID I POST THIS?

The main reason i posted this is to make students aware of possible reasons that may lead to them being denied admission. So i will advise students to make sure they work on my point listed above and get ready to be admitted.

6. Why did i post this?


You want to know how certain your admission is?  Then i will advise you to read this carefully. The following are ways to know if your admission is sure;

 GOOD WAEC RESULT

 This is one thing on the list.  You must have a very good and outstanding WAEC result in order to be certain of this year's admission. You all know the new system of admission which is screening, for you to have high point you must have a good grade in your WAEC result.

For instance, a student got nine A1 while another student got nine B3 in their WAEC result, although both of them have a good result but the student with nine A1 have higher advantage and chances than the student with nine b3.

 HIGH JAMB SCORE

Students with high JAMB score are always certain for admission. Due to the new system of admission which is screening, your JAMB score also have a lot to do to your admission this year. Good WAEC grades and high JAMB score will surely bring you the admission you are seeking for.

 CHOOSE LESS COMPETITIVE COURSE 

As for those that does not have a very good WAEC result or high JAMB score, this is your best resort. For you to be certain of this year admission with your not-so good results, you have to change to a less competitive course like microbiology, physics, mathematics, chemistry if you are a science student, English language, literature  if you are an art student.

You should learn to do this little exercise if you want to be certain of admission this year. You need to calculate your screening point and compare it with the previous year's cut-off mark. By doing this, you will know your fate for this year's admission.

Take note that you should never hope for the cut off mark to reduce this year because there are little chances that it might reduce due to the increasing number of students that sit for JAMB exam every year.

It might sound funny or odd to you,  but you and I know that this is very true. If you know any lecturer in the school then you should be certain for admission this year. But to me,  it is not advisable,  it is better you get admitted based on merit, i mean your WAEC and JAMB result.
