Terrible Mistakes That Can Stop You From Gaining Admission in 2018


#1 O’Level Result Combination

One of the mistakes that can stop you from gaining admission in 2018 is result combination. Don’t get me wrong, you can gain admission to some universities by combining your WAEC and Neco.

However, some institutions specifically the University of Lagos only accepts candidates with one O’ Level result. It could be either Neco or WAEC. Therefore, it is advisable you do a thorough research and ascertain if the school you are applying for accepts combined results.

Otherwise, think of changing institution ASAP.

#2 Wrong O’Level Subjects Combination

Wrong O’Level Combination is also one of the mistakes that can stop you from gaining admission in 2018. The greatest mistakes students make is to assume.

Try to know the right subject combination of the course you want to study, otherwise, you may be denied admission. So, check Jamb brochure to know the subjects combination of the course you want to study.

#3 Age

Age is another reason you may not get admission in 2018. As at today, the official admission age into Nigerian Universities is 16. In other words, you must have clocked 16 years on or before 31st of October in the admission year.

#4 False State Of Origin

False state of origin is among the terrible mistakes that can stop you from gaining admission in 2018. it is still a puzzle how somebody will give a false state of Origin information.

Institutions take this offence serious especially state universities where students sometimes get bursary and subsidized school fees. Please never make this mistake, be real with your state of Origin and other relevant information.

#5 Cut off Mark

You probably don’t need a soothsayer to know that you need a good cut off mark to be admitted. Most first-generation Universities like University of Ibadan and University of Lagos don’t accept candidates that score less than 200 in Jamb.
