5 Important Facts You MUST Know about JAMB 2020.
Here are the most important facts you should know about the forthcoming UTME.
Fact Number #1:
This year’s examination is going to be completely digital. This fact was made clear by the previous jamb registrar, Prof Dibu Ojerinde, after the 2016 UTME exercise, where he said and we quote:
“We have gone digital in JAMB.” So from now on, the UTME exercise will be 100% computer-based test.
Fact Number #2:
You should try your possible best to fully register during the first few weeks. This will help you avoid missing out centers that are located within your geographical area. We’ve discovered that 4 weeks after JAMB announce the availability of the form, most centers in South-East would be filled up.
Fact Number #3:
There will be about 1.2 Million candidates registering for the 2020 UTME. This means that up to one million, two hundred thousand candidates (1.2 Million) will be sitting for the examination, while the sad truth is that less than 450,000 candidates will be getting admitted.
Are you getting the point I am trying to drive across to you? The point is that you need to score high in your JAMB, to stand a chance of getting admitted into your preferred institutions/course.

Fact Number #4:
Here’s another blockbuster, there are some varsities you should avoid. Popular Universities like Unilag, University of Ibadan, UniMaid, Lasu, Uniport, UI, OAU, etc. Candidates seeking to get admitted into these popular universities need to score way higher and the competition for the few slots is fierce.
Popular academic institutions like the ones listed below do have lots of candidates seeking for admission and the rate of getting admitted is thin, when compared with other Nigerian varsities:
• University Of Lagos (Unilag)
• University Of Benin (Uniben)
• University Of Nigeria (UNN)
• University Of Ilorin (Unilorin)
• Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. (Unizik)
• Federal University of Technology, Owerri (Futo)
• University of Ibadan (UI)
• University of Port Harcourt (Uniport)
Do stay away from them. But if you want to get admitted into any of the above mentioned academic institutions, we’re not stopping or discouraging you, we’re just trying to advise that the competition is fierce compared to other institutions.
Fact Number #5:
Before taking any drastic decision, it’s very important that you know the course of study you want to apply for and the schools that are accredited for that course.
You should also try your possible best to check the previous cut-off mark for the course you want to study at the school, it would surely help you.
These 5 facts will surely give you insight into why you need to study hard and score high.
I hope you take this advice and share it with others too!
