It is quite unfortunate that so many people just want to get into higher institution but only a few actually take their time to sort out information that will help them get admission with ease. Below are some of the things all jambites should put into consideration: Subject combinaton: Some people often get it wrong from the very begining. Jamb allows four subjects combination for each course, and each course has its own combination. Always check the jamb brochure for correct subject combination, otherwise, you will end up sitting for the wrong subject. Choice course: When choosing a course of study, several things should be put into consideration, e.g. what are the ssce requirement, why do i really want to study this course, does my choice school offer the course, is my choice school accredited for my choice course, is my choice school well equipped for my choice course, etc just to mention a few. Choice institution: When making choice of institution, always check to make sure the institution has all that is required to study your choice course, and alway get information about the institutions ssce, jamb and post-jamb requirement. Choice Institution catchment areas:This is one thing most people actually do not put into consideration. Each institutions (except federal institutes) have their areas of consideration for admission. If your state or LGA is not in a schools area of consideration for admission, you are most likely not going to get admitted there. Choice Department cut-off mark by choice institution: Scoring 200/180 in your jamb only buys you a ticket for an institutions post-jamb. Each department also has their own cut-off mark. And when you score d exact cut off mark, you are not certain of admission because there are other persons who scored higher than the exact cut off and would be considered for admission first. You must strive to score high in your jamb and post-jamb.
