Know your JAMB score Grade Point

It is my pleasure once again to get you informed. In the age of information technology, ignorance is a choice. As the saying goes: He who is not informed is deformed. That actually motivated me to write this short article for the benefit of University/Polytechnic admission seekers. It will be recalled that the Post- UTME has been scrapped nationwide. It therefore implies that emphasis will be placed on WAEC/NECO grades and JAMB grade point for a candidate to secure admission into tertiary institutions. My intent here is not to scare you, but furnished you with the required information for your success. Since the competition is high with huge number of candidates seeking university education, it is vitally important that you prepare very well for this exercise. Below are JAMB scores with corresponding grade points: JAMB SCORE GRADE POINTS 180 – 185 ————————20 points 186 – 190————————21points 191 -195————————-22points 196 – 200———————–23points 201 – 205———————–24points 206 – 210———————–25 points 211 – 215———————–26 points 216 -220————————27 points 221 -225————————28 points 226 -230————————29 points 231 -235————————30 points 236 – 240———————–31 points 241 – 245———————–32 points 246 -250————————33 points 251 -300———————– (34- 43points) 300 -400———————–(44 – 60 points) WAEC / NECO O’LEVEL GRADE POINTS 1. Single sitting——————- 10 points 2. Combined Results————- 2 points A1—————————— 6 points B2 and B3———————4 points C4 – C6————————3 points For example: Abu Freedomson scored 210 in UTME = 25points He applies for Medicine/Surgery He presents two WAEC results =2 points He has 5 credits in the necessary subjects (3 x 5) =15 points His total points =42 points. Freedom will now wait for his University of choice to release Cut-off mark. From the analysis above, it is advisable that a candidate present one result (single sitting) to increase the chances of securing admission. Goodluck. Strategic Media, President.
