The course for FUTO is a new course and appears only FUTO has it. I figured that since its a new course, the competition shouldnt be high

abdullkabar: Buh i dnt av any skul in mind.i wnt 2 b a med student in oau.and if dat fails,i will still like microb in oau.den i will put in for polys.i av smbdy there dat says he is willin 2 help..am above average a student..am extremely in dilema rite nao
In life we have to be realistic let me give u some instants y I said u shd not pick a sch for both 1st n 2nd.
This year a boy was promised heaven n earth on UI ission he was even told by the person that he shd choose UI 1st n 2nd he was called upon by UI to write their putme which he did he is also an average student so he had 48 n in UI 50 is their cut off 49.5 for get ission so there was nothing he could do cos all hope was lost. This do also happen in oau no matter who is helping u if u v 199.5 forget that year.
Luckily for the guy we met here n I told him of uniosun supplementary putme which he did now he is in uniosun studying chemistry. But what if no other sch does that next year u will need to wait another year. Never choose a sch as 1st n 2nd u don't know what might happen (missing result, not meeting the cut off, been sick on the day of exam and so on) could happen
macmos(m): 1:30pm On Nov 21, 2012

Fynestboi: I nid sum one 2 help me i did jamb last YEAR i choose UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN as first choice (LAW) OOU as 2nd choice (MASSCM) i got 239 in jamb bt unfortunate enough 4 me UI didnt shorlist me 4 postume, and i didnt go 4 OOU postume, afta hearin diverse of news abt d skul, afta dat i move on 2 mai POLYTHECNIC choice. I choose laspotech, went 4 d pume got 27, bt till nw ve nt been gvn isn, i was ask 2 wait 4 d supplementry list, bt i got to knw dat they skul had alreadi resume.
The point nw is dat, i am applying 4 jamb again, and i want sum1 dat can advice on my choice of university, coz i plan 2 choose OAU as 1st choice (LAW) UI as mai 2nd choice (choosing any of dis 3 course(music/law/CL)
Well some times some things happens for reasons but known to God. Ui didn't shortlist u cos ur utme did meet the cut off n I don't know about ur o level result cos UI do use o levels until this year but we can't say what will happen next year. Choose any sch as ur first choice n make UI second but with a lower competitive course.

It's that time of the year again
when multitude of aspiring
university students have to apply
for jamb utme examination. For
some of you, this will be your 1st
(and hopefully last) experience.
For others though, this will be
the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or umpteenth
time of going through this
process. Whatever the case may
be, you all have one goal in
common - TO GAIN ISSION
INTO THE TERTIARY INSTITUTION.
Unfortunately, gaining ission
in Nigeria is a rat race. To
understand just how competitive
it will be, it was estimated that in
the just concluded 2012/2013
utme, more than 1.5 million
candidates sat for the exam to
contend for 500,000 ission
slots. So what happened to the
remaining 1 million you may ask?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Every year, the number of
candidates applying for jamb
increases by at least a 100,000.
Part-time degree programmes
have been annuled by the Federal
Government in all universities
across the country, which will
bring the estimate of next year's
utme candidates to an
astronomically high number.
Hence preparation is sine qua
non. However, before you walk
into the nearest accredited
centre to for jamb, it is
important that you have a basic
knowledge of which university to
choose, what course to apply for
and what subjects to select.
1. Which University to choose:
Before you decide to choose a
particular university as your first
or second choice, you need to
have a basic knowledge of how
the institution conducts its
ission process. Some
universities accept 1st and 2nd
choice candidates, while others
accept 1st choice candidates
ONLY. Also, some universities
accept candidates who have
attained an aggregate score of
180 in their utme exam while
others accept those who scored
200 ONLY. Before you choose an
institution as your 1st or 2nd
choice, your aim should be to
sur its cut-off mark.
Whatever the cut-off mark may
be, try as much as possible to
score above 200 in your utme to
increase your chances of gaining
ission. However, life isn't so
rosy and peradventure one may
end up with a score inbetween
180-200. So what happens then?
First of all, know that no federal
institution accepts any score
below 200. So if you fall under
such a category, don't fret, simply
buy a change of institution form
when it's made available and
choose another university that
accepts your score. Also it is
important that you select an
institution that includes your
state of origin in its catchment
area. To expantiate, some
institutions have specific states
from which they select a majority
of candidates as its itted
students i.e schools in the west
it mostly students of western
origin and vice versa. So select
wisely and read hard.
2. What course to apply for:
Sadly, this is the major reason
why most students don't gain
ission. Many students, when
selecting a course of study,
always opt for the hot cake
courses i.e Medicine, Law,
Engineering, Banking & Finance,
Pharmacy etc and sometimes end
up getting an undesirable one or
none. Such courses are VERY
competitive and require high
scores both in the utme and
post-utme exams. Candidates go
further in making the mistake of
applying for a hot cake course in
both their 1st and 2nd choice
institutions. It is much wiser to
pick a course which is not
strongly sought after by a large
majority. However, i'm not in
anyway trying to dissuade
anyone from following his/her
dream in life. If you truly want to
pursue a career in law practice,
medical science etc, then read
hard and try as much as you can
to attain a high mark in your
utme and post-utme exams. Also
choose a course that suits your
field of study. Some parents
coerce their children who are art
students to study science
courses and vice versa, which is
wrong. Such students end up
performing poorly at the
university. Choose a course you
naturally have an interest in.
3. What subjects to select:
A simple but dangerous aspect if
not properly done. Most
candidatets after scoring high in
jamb and post-utme expect to
gain ission, only to be told to
step down for wrong subject
combination. Cases like that are
common but avoidable. Make
sure you consult your jamb
brochure to know the right
subject combination required by
your choice institution.
It is also important to have the
right attitude. Scoring high in
jamb doesn't guarantee your
ission, so don't relent in your
studies. Universities focus on
post-utme scores mostly, so
continue studying. Most answers given
before the exam turn out to be
wrong and many candidates fail
woefully. Use the syllabus
provided by the jamb board and
study hard. Purchase past
questions & answers pertaining
to your utme subjects and
practise answering them. If
possible, attend jamb tutorial
classes to further increase your
understanding. ission is a
50/50 chance, so "NO
EXPECTATIONS = NO
DISAPPOINTMENTS". Don't be too
presumptuous. Do your best and
let God do the rest. I wish you all
a successful UTME.

Today's hint been ma birthday...

The ideal time to start the battle of ission is during JAMB application. Many would-be-students do not arm their selves with enough information that will guarantee their ission success. Many apply without formal orientation. Using the trial-and-error method, they fumble their way through Universities and courses selection. The result in most cases is failure.

                It is especially important that prospective candidates for 2013 JAMB UTME give special attention to application. The reason is because there are new ission policies that will shake the ission process in 2013/2014 session.

For instance, there are questions you need to answer before you apply online for the new JAMB UTME. These include: How will the new Science/Art 60:40 ission ratio affect ission? How the new ission percentage ratios of 45:35:20 for merit, catchment and educational Less Privilege State affects ission? Since O level credit is required for ission, is it an attempt to phase out NCE an ND? What role does catchment area policy play in ission? How does my choice of course affect my chance of ission? Will all universities accept second choice?

Your knowledge about this and many more questions may be the only thing needed to 2013 JAMB UTME and secure ission. Before you go online and on

www.jamb.org.ng, you need to fortify yourself with the knowledge of these questions otherwise you are loosing the ission battle already.

pin:27A625F5 08181583039 pls pls pls share u will be helping someone secure that ission next year.
