@ACM10. Thats the question i keep asking myself o. How much will one score in the post utme that would be enuf sef? I only hope that the cut off mark this year would be very reasonable otherwise we are finished.

blogger1.0:

May be in my dreams. My score is 244. And the suprising thing is that my score last year was very impressive. But this year that i had actually worked my a.ss off and expected the best results turned out to be my worst.
Whats your score?

Fortunately, UNN happens to be my alma mater. So your enquiry is well placed. There are some factors that predicts your chance of gaining admission into UNN to study Med/Surg. They are:

1. State of origin: UNN aims to reflect the federal character system. Therefore the cut-off mark for student varies across the states. Top of the ladder are the eastern states which consists of Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Abia, while the bar is lowered for student from other states and region. So if you are from Northern or some western states; there is a high probability of gaining admission into Med/Surg if you are able reenact your JAMB feat in PUME.

2. Meritocracy: If you score 75% and above, you will certainly appear on the merit list of Med/Surg even if you are from Anambra or Imo state.

3. Nepotism: Nigeria is a very corrupt country. Therefore favouritism trumps meritocracy. You will certainly gonna get admission to Med/Surg even if you score an average of 180, so far your personal person belongs to the old boys' network.

4. Deep Pocket: your money can also secure an admission for you. But I will advise against this approach. Med/Surg is an intellectually tasking course. I doubt if your money can propel you past 2nd MBBS. UNN medical school hosts some professors in pre-clinical and clinical courses that wont compromise on their principle. Beside, if one eventually scales through with his/her deep pocket, he/she will graduate as a horrible doctor.

I hope I did justice to your enquiry.

godstino: if i had the money, i would sue jamb to mark my script in front of me..cos there is no way i could get what they gave to me (ceteris paribus)...but all thesame, its past story now and i look forward to writing the post ume to show my worth..

eyenCalabar: My own on checking shows "No Result Yet", is it that it has been withheld or what? Pls help! What is happening?

ACM10:
NO and YES!
NO! 219 is a poor score for medicine. You need to score 250 and above to stand a chance.

YES! if you are highly connected. Everything is possible in Naija. But if you are nobody like me. There is still hope for you. Score 75% and above in you post-UME and you'll see how event will work out in your favour.



NO! It's too early to give up. Except you don't want to study medicine from the outset. Don't give up in pursuit of your dream. Winners never quit and quitters never wins! As soon as your mind tends towards defeatism; chain reaction will ensue to complete the process for you. Don't remove the option of studying med/surg, even if you opt for other related course. Attempt JAMB exam again or attain a healthy GP, which will enable to you change over to med/surg.

Lol same thing with me, they gave me 208 but that can never be my score, You still have a fair chance with your score. Right now I'm laughing because so many people who thought they'll score from 270 and above ended up scoring 208 , Anyways the thing is I'm going in for Law although I can still be admitted with a very good PUME score cause I've sen people with lower scores last year in JAMB and PUME but were still admitted for law. I guess its cos my state is eduacationally less developed so they admit students with poor performance too. If I had filled it as my first choice last year I would have bee admitted for law, but I just didn't want to attend the school, now I have no choice, I'm stuck with it I'm still hoping JAMB will upgrade the scores because sometimes it happens like that, they get to upgrade it after few weeks, so I'm strongly praying they do. BTW How is your preparation for PUME going?

Natasha,,:
[b]Men its just unbelieveable, I haven't recovered from my own shock, I can't even tell my dad, all I know is that's not my score, I also went through everything after the exams with my textbooks dictionaries even the net, I scored above 260 clear and fair, but when I saw my result, It was like I was in dreamland, Isn't there a way we can see our scripts? I shaded well so I'm sure it had nothing to do with my shading, My invigilator threatened to write something on my paper since I refused to pay for expo, but I'm sure that was a mere threat and she had nothing to it, something is wrong, the score I have cannot be mine. Jamb doesn't release so many results as fast as this, In my friend centre it was series of 225 for science and arts students, for people who used their heads their mark should definitely vary shouldn't it? even if they did malpractice they can't just come out with 225, 225. My shock came when I saw my CRS and my English scores I'll still say it that is not my score, it doesn't matter if my name is on it. [/b]

lol I just found this funny, no disrespect but it made me laugh.

Natasha,,:

Just chill okay I believe your result would be released I'm not JAMB but that's what I think. Its a 50/50 thing though. That was what happened to me last year, it was no result yet so I had to wait for over one month before my result was finally released, but few of my friends never got to see theirs. So just chill and be positive.

Stop posting on NL during exam periods and you'll see better result.

Yea, you are right, this kind of thing happened in 2009 and fortunately for them that year, the results were later remarked and my brother for example had over 20 marks added to his original score. So lets just keep our fingers crossed.
Well as far as my preparations for the pume goes, i am still trying to lay my hands on some past q&a, so as to enable me know from where to start reading. How about you, have you seen any q&a from your school yet?

LizyL: @natasha do they really upgrade scores? is that possible?

Natasha,,:

Yes they've done that before, I'm just praying they do the same this time cause they really gave wrong scores to so many people.

adeoye sam: I can't make comment on dis topic because am yet nt av access 2 my result. Pls nairalander can u do me favour by helping me check it. (26221970fa)
Dat's my reg. no. Tanks

blogger1.0:

Thank you very much for your concern. I am from Benue state. And i sincerely hope to score upto that 75% if not more. As for no.4 my mind is not there at all. But can you pls throw more light on no.3?
Kindly pm me your email address.

ACM10:


You'll get a fair shot with your score into any department of your choice. Study hard and blast in your PUME. The questions are simple if your fundamentals in Chemistry, Physics and Biology are sound. Most times, I wonder why students fail. But I have implicit trust in your ability to scale those hurdles.

My apology for the late response. I was out of town. Why not post your email so that I'll write to u?

mochi1: I think the scores given in this year's utme are very wrong.Imagine,last year isat 6or jamb,I scored 264 and dis year,I scored 213...the most painful of it all is that I was expecting a higher score in my two major subject which are govt nd lit scoring 50 nd 60 respectively compared to last year's own scoring 68 nd 72 respectively..now,ma chance of getting admission into my preferred faculty of LAW is slim now whereas even when I had a higher utme score of 264 nd putme score of 73% last year,I wasn't admitted.well I still have dat fate in me no matter the score.Actually,I was expecting my mark to be within the range of 270-290 having prepared well for it..

Funkymallam:

How much did u pay to get that score? Gosh! And she is acting cry... <
