Things To Consider Before Choosing A Course & Institution in JAMB

Things To Consider Before Choosing A Course & Institution in JAMB

JAMB registration starts on Monday and more than 1.8 million candidates will write it this year. It is my greatest desire and prayer that you will secure admission into a reputable course of your choice and the school of your choice. How do you pick the course of your choice and more importantly get admission.

Last year, 1,761,338 candidates wrote JAMB but only 378,689 got above 200. But that’s not the raison detre of this post. How do you choose the course of your choice?

1. What are you passionate about? Law, Physics, Economics, English, Fine Art, Medicine Engineering? Don’t pick a course outside your passion and core interest, and strength, otherwise you won’t get it.

Don’t pick a course because your friends are picking the course or because your parents want you to pick the course. Doing either can lead to a lifetime of regret.

Don’t pick a course because it sounds prestigious, lucrative, or nice.

If you are not passionate about a course, you will have a mediocre career.

Your course may be your career and your career is your destiny.

2. Know your subject combination. Many students input the wrong subject combination during JAMB registration. And that deprives them of admission. Based on research, more than 15% of all aspirants lose admission because of this silly mistake.

3. Learn more about the university or polytechnic you want to apply to. Learn about their modality, fees, cutoffs, the courses they are offering and whether your mentality and intelligence can cope with the rigour of that institution.

In universities like OAU, UNIBEN, UNIPORT, FUTA, ABU, and UI, many candidates cannot cope with the rigour and challenges there and they may be forced to drop out if they pick such schools. Some private and state universities like Covenant, UNIMED, FUHSI, EKSU, PanAtlantic and BABCOCK are too expensive for most Nigerians to afford. It won’t be advisable to choose an institution like that except you want to saddle your parents with debts. So learn about the fee you will pay as a student.

4. Be present at your registration. Don’t trust the cybercafe attendant and operator to do your registration for you. The operators sometimes make costly mistakes that cost candidates the admission . Have authentic information about all the due process of registration, from NIN details to JAMB pin to mock to everything else, have all the requisite information.
