We are not trying to discourage some
people from hoping to be posted to
their various schools for admission
consideration, for those who have not
been posted yet especially those who
scored high in utme. Am not saying
you should lose hope yet, anything can
still happen. Am saying based on the
hard copy schools have at the moment
and also based on what happened last
year during eligibility saga. Those who
were initially not eligible but hoping
to be eligible by miracle were never
eligible if not that it was later
cancelled though miracle may happen
this time, so I suggest you may keep
checking for your name in Jamb
website until its finally confirmed that
no names will be uploaded again.
Speaking based on the hard copy some
schools have, those whose their names
are not found in the Jamb website are
also not listed in the hard copy when
checked. So I dont know how possible
it will be if your name is later
uploaded in the Jamb website but not
among the names in the hard copy
unless schools will still receive more
names from Jamb.
Check your name in Jamb website, if
you are not posted yet, you keep
checking, you may be posted later.
Some Of The Reasons Why Your Name
May Not Have Been Posted To Your
School For Admission Consideration:
1. LOW UTME SCORE:
Maybe your score is too low for the
course you are aspiring for. Someone
who scored 201 and aspiring for home
science may be posted but someone
who scored 248 and aspiring for
medicine may not be posted. This is
because home science is likely to cut
below 201 while medicine will never
cut below 248, so Jamb has assumed
that someone with 201 is supposed to
get admission under home science
without screening yet. Remember that
if your name is posted, it means you
have been "Temporarily" offered
admission by Jamb, meaning you
scored above what Jamb is likely to cut
for that course if they were to admit
you alone but school is yet to screen
you to know if actually you are
qualified even when you scored above
"assumed" cutoff mark. Meanwhile,
there are some courses that even when
you scored above likely "assumed"
cutoff mark, you will still not be
posted, sometimes you will be posted
even when you scored below but the
posting is mainly based on your score
and your course because ALL
SCHOOLS may have sent their cutoff
marks to Jamb but you wont know.
2.CHANGE OF INSTITUTIONS:
This may not really be the problem
because there are some who did not
change school yet they are not posted
yet but some people I know that have
not been posted even when they
scored high in Jamb did change of
school (about 2 people so far).
The only names that may be posted
later in the Jamb website may be
special candidates. All of you know
what I mean by special candidates;
they may be people with some errors
in their registration numbers or error
in change of school, they may be
people that are sorting out their
admission via staff/university quota/
slot through a staff, they may be
people that know someone in the
university..this is Nigeria so
everything is possible. It happened last
year when some people who were not
eligible later became eligible even
before everything was cancelled. I
know how it was done then and it will
still be done this time. Some of you
know me very well, I say what I see
and what happens, I dont pretend to
be self-made saint.
ADVICE
So if you are not posted yet, dont lose
hope yet, be prayerful, it may still
touch Jamb to upload more names and
your name may be there. You can still
be posted through other means maybe
through miracles or maybe if you are
sorting out your admission.
Dont just lose hope or give up until its
over. If worse turns to worst, you may
be posted to another university; all
univeristies are good, it must not be
your school of choice. Its not the school
you attend or course you read that
makes you, its your destiny.........it is not over until it is over
