Here are the tips:

Have your O’level result ready/Make Sure you pass your 5 core subjects in your Olevel

All schools require that when you are starting your admission process fully, you must have your O’level results (Waec or GCE or Neco) with your 5 core subjects with at least a C6.

Your core subjects usually include Maths and English compulsory(for most schools, a few accept D7).

If you have two(2) results from different O’level exams then you can combine them and apply for admission only if your school of choice accepts 2 results/sittings.

Make sure you study for your Exams based on the Syllabus/past question of the school you choose

One mistake students make is not studying for their Exams based on the Syllabus of the school they choose.

You should practice with the recommended past questions available from your school and their syllabus as this helps to prepare you for what are you about to face.

Study and don’t just read or cram for your Post Utme!

Most students spend time just reading or cramming the past questions for their Post Utme exam, this is wrong and a horrible way to get prepared for your exam.

Instead, you should study – this means you should devote time and attention to gaining knowledge of what you are reading.

Studying means you understand the concept of what you are reading.

For example in maths, you should be able to apply formulas for calculations so that when the exam comes, you would be able to solve any question related to that topic.

Have a good JAMB score

To be able to sit for a Post Utme exam of a school, you need to have met their cut-off mark for JAMB.

If you did not meet the cut-off mark for your course, we advise that you consider changing course as your chances of getting admission might be slimmer because of the cut-off mark.

Another thing you can consider doing is changing school to another with Jamb change of Institution form. This way, you can choose another school with a lower cut-off mark, and your chance of getting admission increases especially if you are an indigene.

Consider applying for a school where you are an indigene

This is a secret that most students don’t know about, but first, let’s define what is an indigene.

Indigene: this refers to a person that is considered a native or was born a native of a particular area.

If you were born in Lagos for example and you applied to a school in Lagos like Unilag, you would be considered more than others from another state even when your JAMB score is slightly lower than the official cut-off mark.
