HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR ENTRY SCORE

Since the implementation of the new procedures for admission into tertiary institution was amended by the Joint Admission Matriculation Board, it has seized to be a tradition for students to kick off another phase of studying for PostUTME.

Factors to take into cognizance before selecting Courses/ institutions


Your Ability: yes it is quite obvious that everyone wants the best; as such students tend to go for the most popular course neglecting their abilities just because everyone is going for it.
