The statistics below is



(JAMB UTME 2020).



The Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB has given a statistics of the performance of candidates in the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination According to him, 2,906 candidates scored over 300 as against 4,683 in the 2018 results. He added that

Looking at this result, it is seen that people generally passed more in 2020 than in 2018 (of course except among the category of people that scored above 300 ).

Now, the question you should ask is, “ will admission be more tough/hard in 2020 compared to 2020?” or others will say “will the cut off marks be lower or higher?”

Admission Might Be Tougher, Don’t Relent Yet

Some people might think that a score above 300 will guarantee them

admission in 2020 . Let me tell you, THAT IS TOTALLY NOT TRUE.

In case you don’t know, I scored above 300 in my first JAMB and I still didn’t the cut off mark for my course in UI.

Why? What Happened?

I was overconfident and didn’t prepare for the Post UTME at all.

Fortunately (yes fortunately), I didn’t pass the Post UTME and my course was changed to Chemistry.

Now, I have gotten the course I really want after my second UTME and I am happy where I am.

My point is, the JAMB statistics may not totally tell you what Post UTME will look like in 2020 .

Who knows?

The questions might be simpler, more people may pass the Post UTME (especially the people that choose the same course with you).

In fact, some people that scored 30-40 marks below my first JAMB score got the course I couldn’t because they worked hard for the Post UTME (and I didn’t).
