Can a candidate gain admission with JAMB alone, or is Post-UTME compulsory for all schools?
While a JAMB (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) score is a prerequisite for admission to Nigerian universities, whether a Post-UTME is compulsory depends on the individual institution and its admission policies.

In Nigeria, gaining admission to universities typically involves both the JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board) exam and a Post-UTME. However, the exact process can vary between schools:
ReplyDeleteJAMB alone: Some universities may admit candidates based solely on their JAMB scores, especially if the candidate meets the required cut-off mark. However, most institutions still require a Post-UTME exam or screening to assess candidates further.
Post-UTME: For most universities, the Post-UTME is still compulsory. The exam serves as an additional step to further evaluate candidates’ readiness for university studies. Even if your JAMB score is high, some universities will require you to attend their Post-UTME screening or exam.
It’s always best to check the specific admission requirements of each school, as some may have different policies, such as opting for only a screening process based on your JAMB score or waiving Post-UTME in some cases.
