5 Reasons Why You Might Be Denied Admission This Year by holuwajobar(m): 11:10pm On Aug 18, 2017 |
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. 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. www.admissiontipz..com/2017/07/reasons-why-you-might-be-denied.html source: www.admissiontipz..com 1 Like |

Hmm The prospective candidates need better information than the one posted here. If you must gain admission to higher institutions these year, you need to understand the following: 1. The new cut-off Mark is an aggregate of your weighted grades in O'Level and JAMB score. This means your grades in O Level results matter as much as your JAMB score since there's no more written post-JAMB. Therefore a student with distinctions in O Level result and high JAMB score stands a better chance than the one with low grades. In UNILAG, for instance, the mode of estimating the cut-off last session was: O Level result was 40% JAMB score was 60% So, candidates with C6, C5 in O' Level stand a lesser chance of getting admission even if they score 300/400 in JAMB. 2. Top rated Universities do not accept two-sittings in O Level results. 3. Know the quota system of a University before chossing such institution, except you want to enter by merit. Some universities have preferences for candidates from certain states. 4. Some courses are highly competitive, so you must be sincere with your academic ability before making your choice, e.g Medicine & Surgery, Law, Economics, Architecture, etc. 5. Some universities place higher priority on O Level results than JAMB scores. JAMB score = 40% OLevel grades= 60% For instance, A1. :: 12 points B2. :;; 10 B3.::: 8 C4. ::::6 C5. ::::4 C6. :::2 Imagine the candidates with 5 distinctions (5A1) has 60/60; while that with five C6 has 10/60. Even if the latter candidate score 350/400 in JAMB, he might not secure admission. 1 Like

If jamb refuse to jam you, please jam jamb. Simple. Don't waste time applying for that exam year after year. Start up something cause life is short and you aren't getting any younger. What happens if you finally get the admission? What happens after graduation? You join the enormous queue at the labour market? Wisen up Abeg. Visit www.entmirror.com for Business ideas. 1 Like |

That age requirement that you must be 16 years old to enter university just pissed me off. I got a young lad that will not enter this year and next year because of that and his a genius. Its better we get a canadian visa for him to study than for him wasting his time in this country. And it will be this same country that inorder to get a job you must not be less than 26 years but must have 2-3 years work experience. 1 Like |

Just try to Learn a trade/skill so you can be self employed b4/after school.
