5 Reasons Most Students Are Not Offered Admission by Zizaxbast(m): 7:31am On Apr 24, 2017 |
Most admission seekers are often times left confused
trying to get the reason why they were not offered admission
to the institution of their choice despite having a very
high score in admission screening. At times, having a such high
score is
not a guarantee for admission.
The following are the
reasons why students may not be offered admission despite
having a high score in admission screening.
1 Wrong UTME SUBJECTS combination
This is one of the reasons a number of students lose
admission despite beating the admission screening score cut-
off mark
Even at times, some students are being stripped of their
admission or moved to another department during the
process of first-year registration simply because of wrong
JAMB subject combination. For instance, a student
seeking admission to study mass communication would
definitely lose the admission if he or she did not take
Literature-in-English as part of the four subjects for the
UTME exam. Similarly, a student seeking admission to
study Physics and Electronics should definitely select
Physics as part of his UTME subject combination. Before
any student fills his or her JAMB form, he or she should
painstakingly go through the JAMB Brochure to know the
right subject combination for his or her course of study.
2. UNIVERSITY'S CATCHMENT AREA
Most federal universities, including some state
universities, still retain the policy of catchment area in
selecting students for admission. For instance, UNILAG
catchment area constitutes majorly South Western states.
What this implies is; prospective students from the South
West have higher chances of gaining admission. For
example, a prospective student from Osun state who
scored 56, applying to study sociology may be offered
admission while another student from Imo state who
scored 60 may not be offered admission. This is so
because if the catchment cut-off point for Osun is 56
while the general cut-off is 62, such a student from Imo
state has definitely lost the admission despite having a
higher score than his counterpart from the catchment
zone. In view of the above, admission seekers should
always be aware of a university’s catchment area and
requirements before selecting any university.
3. UNIVERSITY'S POLICY
Despite the general catchment area policy, some
universities still have their individual policy they adopt as
yardstick in admitting students. Oftentimes, such policies
are not made public. It is therefore the duty of admission
seekers to find out specific admission policies of their
prospective universities from friends schooling in such
universities.
4. Low UTME score or O'level grades
Often times, I pity most Jambites who score within the
range of 180 and 210 in UTME and unfortunately most of their
O'level is not that strong and they still choose competitive
universities like O.A.U, U.I, UNILAG, UNIBEN and so on ). As
those scores or low grades in O'level will limit their chances of
gaining admission in a situation where they have to compete for
the same admission slot with students who score as high as
250 and above or with distinctions in O'level result.
5.) Having no connection with any university's personnel ( NOT
HAVING LONG LEG )
In Nigeria of today, it is advisable to know the
VC,PROFESSOR,LECTURER OR EVEN A MESSENGER in a school
in which someone choosed. We have some universities in
Nigeria where you will see some candidates that scored far
above the cut-mark of their various courses and still NOT
offered admission ..........It is not necessary to mention the name
of such schools, I think we all know these schools.
