I can sincerely relate to your pains. My son scored 344 in JAMB last year and was denied admission because he missed the age cutoff by 14 days.
To the glory of God, I encouraged him to sit for JAMB again. He just scored 359.

JAMB has been unfair to a lot of intelligent kids in the name of uncoordinated policies.

Firebox123:
evidence or proof

lovelybobo:
This is the evidence

Which discipline are you guys going for?

.. Waow that's good. Your son must be a brain.. Go get him a drink.

lovelybobo:
Software Engineering

Zico5:
Let him go for electrical/electronic engineering.

lovelybobo:
I studied electrical/electronic engineering myself, and I wanted him to study computer science, but he said no.
He will study software engineering because he can code very well with Python.

OAkanni001:
What's an impressive result!

Please try and do everything in your care to ensure he apply for international scholarship. He's too brilliant to be in a typical Nigerian university settings that operate archaic curriculum and still write code in notebooks

Please, what textbook did he used to prepare for the exam mostly especially in physics and Chemistry. Was there any unique things he was doing during the period he was preparing for the exam. I will like to know for the sake of my children

I just checked my son's jamb results now and the response I got was "Result: Underaged and Under-performed"

How? No breakdown of the results to even know how he performed. Jamb's rule is that you must be 16 years on or before 30th September 2025, my son will be 16 years by October 9th 2025, just 9 days away and jamb wants my son to wait for another 365 days because of 9 days.

My plan was to ask for special consideration and exceptional permission. How do I do that when I don't even know how he performed in the exams? Jamb should please give us the full results. We paid for it and we need to see our results.

You the father was the one unfair to him, you knew the rules even before he was born so why go ahead to register when you knew the restrictions decades before registering? If its for him to do a real world exam scenario that's fine but if its for you to circumvent the rules somehow then its wrong.

Law is law , it is what it is and not what it should be. When the rules changes then we change with it but for now everyone should follow the rules.

JobAndVacancies:
Which university offers that and which course is software engineering biko

WhizdomXX:
Omo you have a follower. I scored 332 in 2018. I studied Electrical/electronics engineering too.

lovelybobo:
He used the New School Chemistry textbook and a mix of Senior Secondary Physics by PN Okeke and the New System Physics textbook published by Africana First Publisher. Also, past questions played a major role, like the 4-in-1 practice questions published by The Solid Solutions and software like TestDriller, which made him computer-friendly and gave him a seemingly realistic experience.

I promised him 20k before the exam if he could get above 350, and he just got 20k free money from me.

majesticguy:
No offense, sir, but studying Software Development in a Nigerian university is a big joke, a huge one, in fact. Your lad is truly gifted. I do not intend to discourage you sire, but if he were my child, I'd advise him and help him see reasons to pursue something Nigerian universities can actually handle. This is not to suggest that Software Development is a poor choice, far from it. I am where I am today because of it. However, I must emphasize that, based on my experience, most Nigerian universities lack the resources and expertise required to teach the discipline properly.

arantess:
It's not free.
It's a debt you owed him
Good to know you paid up, if not ehn..
