The mistakes noticed are explained below;
1. Wrong Subject Combination:
This
mistake is common among JAMB candidates. When applying for JAMB, you
should always use JAMB brochure in order to know your subject
combination. Wrong subject combination will cost you your admission into
your course. Once again, Make sure you make use of brochure before
computing your subject combination.
2. Wrong O’level grade:
Am
I going to call this a mistake or a way of outsmarting JAMB and the
University? Anyways, some candidates make such mistake. Make sure you
are careful when computing your grades, because it can cost you a whole
year.
3. Not being informed:
This
is another issue that is bothering me. As a student seeking for
admission, you ought to be glued to educational site like this blog (
for admission tipz) or myschool.ng (for JAMB and University update). I
heard of a case about a candidate that choose IbadanPoly last year, but
didn’t participated in the screening because he was not aware that the
screening form was on sale. Make sure you are always up to date with
JAMB news and the University/Polytechnics you choose.
4. Wrong spelling of name:
Although,
this can be corrected but why waste money when you can carefully
compute your correct name on your JAMB form. Also, not only wrong
spelling but the order at which your name is arranged, it should be in
this format- Surname Firstname Othername.
5. Inconsistent age in your document:
Age
is very important during admission processing, it can cost you your
admission. If there are inconsistent age in your document, then your
admission into a university might be terminated. For example, on your
WAEC certificate, you are 16 years old while on your JAMB form, your
are 18 years old, this give the school every reason to terminate your
admission into the university.
