JAMB 2018 CANDIDATES WHO SCORED BELOW CUT-OFF : Not making 2018 UTME is not the end of the world and JAMB UTME is not the only gateway to a higher institution. Since 2018 UTME wasn’t favorable to you, you may need to consider other alternatives to securing admission.

There are four alternatives you need to consider, they are;

Pre-degree Programmes (Universities),
Evening Programmes (polytechnics),
Part-time programmes (universities and polytechnics) and
Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB).

Pre-degree Programmes : The Pre-Degree Programme is offered by many universities and is designed to support candidates who did not meet certain requirements for admission. The candidates are usually admitted into a degree programme of their choice after completing the pre-degree programme which usually lasts for a year.

Evening Programmes : Candidates who apply for part-time and evening progammes get admitted directly to 100 level just like UTME candidates, the only difference here is you are likely going to spend one additional year. That is 5 years for a course a UTME candidate would have spent 4 years on. Also the tuition fees are usually high.

Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) : IJMB means Interim Joint Matriculation Board, while IJMBE is the “Examination” itself. IJMB is an Advanced-Level (A-Level) Course, which you take for 9 months, after which you take a final exam that gives you a certificate.
IJMB seems to be the best alternative because the certificate obtained at the end of the programme can be used to apply for 200 Level Admission into institutions like UNILAG, ABU, UNILORIN, UNIPORT.

However, if all these options do not suit you, you have one other last option. That is, TRYING JAMB AGAIN.
You might make it again if you choose to start preparing as early as possible.

We wish you all the best in the journey of life.
