Scored Below 150 in JAMB UTME 2017?…. Here’s A Good News For You

This thread is for candidates who
scored below 150 in the 2016
Unified tertiary Matriculation
Examination.
You may have concluded that no
admission is coming forth for you this
year considering your score.
However, the saying that there is no
problem without a solution stands
true even in this case.
We want to use this medium to guide
you on the next step to take.
One thing I need you to know before I
continue is that JAMB UTME is not the
only gateway to a higher institution.
Since the 2017 UTME wasn't favorable
to you, you may need to consider
other alternatives to securing
admission.
There are four alternatives you need
to consider now, namely; pre-degree
programmes (Universities) , Evening
Programmes (polytechnics) , Part-
time programmes (universities and
polytechnics) and Interim Joint
Matriculation Board (IJMB).
The Pre-Degree Programme is offered
by many universities and is designed
to support candidates who did not
meet certain requirements for
admission. The candidates are usually
admitted into a degree programme of
their choice after completing the pre-
degree programme which usually
lasts for a year.
Candidates who apply for part-time
and evening progammes get admitted
directly to 100 level just like UTME
candidates, the only difference here is
you are likely going to spend one
additional year. That is 5 years for a
course a UTME candidate would have
spent 4 years on. Also the tuition fees
are usually high.
IJMB means Interim Joint
Matriculation Board, while IJMBE is
the "Examination" itself. IJMB is an
Advanced-Level (A-Level) Course,
which you take for 9 months, after
which you take a final exam that gives
you a certificate.
IJMB seems to be the best alternative
because the certificate obtained at the
end of the programme can be used to
apply for 200 Level Admission into
institutions like UNILAG, ABU,
UNILORIN, UNIPORT.
However, if all these options do not
suit you, you have one other last
option. That is, TRYING AGAIN.
That you did not succeed this year
does not mean you will not succeed
next year.
I wish you all the best as you make
your decisions. You can use this
medium to interact among yourselves
and share valuable information that
will help one another.
