After 2023 JAMB UTME, What’s Next? Here’s What Every Candidate Should Do

With the conclusion of the 2023 JAMB UTME, some candidates are counting their gains, while others are counting their losses. Whichever category you fall in, it is important to know that a high JAMB score is not an automatic ticket to higher institutions neither does a low JAMB score automatically disqualify you for admission.

We have seen candidates with high JAMB scores who failed to secure admission into any institution and had to retake JAMB and we have equally seen candidates with low JAMB Scores (Less than 200) who gained admission without having to wait for another JAMB.

So basically, a low or high JAMB score is not the ultimate determinant of who gains and who doesn’t gain admission. 

So at this point, what we expect all 2023 JAMB candidates to do is to ask the following critical questions?

>> What was my school’s cut-off mark last year?

>> What was the cut-off mark for my intended course of study?

>> Do I need a change of course/institution? 

>> What’s the school’s Post-UTME Screening like?

>> How Can I prepare adequately for my school’s Post-UTME Screening?

The answers to these critical questions will help you know what next step to take towards successfully securing admission this year.

If going by your score, you stand a better chance of gaining admission in a polytechnic, by all means, go for it. Unless of course, you don’t mind patronizing JAMB next year. 

Another advise is this; do not wait for your school of choice to announce sales of Post-UTME form before you start preparing for it. We have made available the Post-UTME Past Questions for various schools. 

Finally, do not also forget SchoolGist will be here for you all through the journey. So ensure you visit regularly for updates regarding the 2023/2024 Admission exercise.

Admission Success to you all!
