CHOSE THE RIGHT SCHOOL AND THE RIGHT COURSE AFTER READING THIS:
Picking the right institution to study your preferred course is very important. In this article, we'd be going through several reasons to be considered when picking an institution before taking the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exam and after taking the exam.


BEFORE THE EXAM:
When registering for the Jamb exam, you'd be required to fill in four different choices of institution and course. In your first, second and third choices, you can fill in universities/polytechnics/monotechnics and in your fourth choice you can fill in a college of education. But before making a decision for your choice of institutions, what should you place in consideration?


1. WHY ARE YOU PICKING THE SCHOOL?
Are you picking the school because of the prestige attached to its name? Are you picking because you love the beauty of the school? Or you are picking the school because of its educational quality?

The educational quality of a school should be a strong factor to be considered before picking the school as your choice of institution. Always consider the rating of your school on your preferred course. Also, the certificate the school would be giving to you after you have completed your course, is it respected in the country/society? If yes, go ahead and make it your choice. If no, reconsider and check other schools.

2. ACCREDITATION OF YOUR PREFERRED COURSE IN THE SCHOOL?
This is a factor you should put into consideration and research upon before choosing your preferred institution. Has the school been accredited to lecture your preferred course? If yes, go and ahead and make it your choice. If no, reconsider. There have been cases of schools who lectured courses they weren't accredited for and the students who are studying the courses in these schools would have to forgo it and start all over again in a new school no matter how far they have gone. In other not be in a situation like this, check out other institutions that has been accredited to lecture your preferred course before making your decision.

3. LOCATION OF THE SCHOOL VS YOUR ADAPTIVE SKILLS:
You should consider the location of the school and your adaptive skills before making a decision. Are you the type that enjoys travelling long distances? Does the distance of your school to your place of residence matter to you? Are going to be in a rural/suburban/urban area? Is the area well secured? Check all these before making your decision.

4. SCHOOL'S REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION:
What's the school's requirements for admission? You should also consider this before making your choice. Some schools demand a minimum mark of 160, some demand 180 while some demand 200 in jamb as their cut-off. Also check their departmental UTME (also JAMB) and POST UTME cut off. How good is your O'level result? Some schools accept a maximum of two sittings. Check if the institution you want to pick accepts two sittings if your results requires combination. If you've checked the O'level requirements and the departmental cut-off for UTME and POST-UTME and you feel it's achievable for you, go ahead and make them your choice. If it's not achievable, reconsider and check other schools with lesser requirements.

5. SCHOOL'S INFRASTRUCTURE:
This also is a very important factor to consider. Does the school have the right facilities to lecture your preferred course? Are the lecture areas friendly enough to study in? If yes, go ahead. If no, do reconsider.
