Post-UTME 2026: 5 Mistakes That Could Cost You Admission
Most candidates treat Post-UTME like JAMB. That is a costly error. JAMB ranks you against the whole country. Post-UTME decides if the school really wants you in that department. First, get your school’s own past questions. Each institution has its own format and timing. Then practise under a strict timer so you never run out of time on exam day. Next, double-check your subject combination against the course requirements. No score can save you if your subjects don’t match. Also sort out all your documents early—result slip, JAMB slip, birth certificate, passport photos and LGA letter. Finally, understand how your school weights scores. Some use 50% JAMB and 50% Post-UTME. Others add O-level grades. A strong screening performance can lift an average JAMB score. If your first choice doesn’t work out, explore course or institution changes. ND-to-degree routes can also get you where you want to go.
