Full List: Nigerian Universities That Accept 140, 150, 160 JAMB Scores
Following the low pass rate recorded in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), many students across the country are feeling anxious and uncertain about their next steps.
The disappointing results have raised widespread concern, especially among candidates who were hopeful of gaining admission into top-tier institutions.
With cut-off marks likely to be affected and competition for available slots becoming even tighter, students are now reassessing their options and exploring alternative institutions and courses that they may not have initially considered.
As the admission season approaches, questions about school choices, catchment areas, and departmental requirements have become crucial for students and parents alike. Many are turning to educational consultants, online forums, and career guidance counselors in search of reliable advice.
For some students, the focus has shifted from prestigious universities to more accessible polytechnics and colleges of education. Others are contemplating taking a gap year to prepare for the next UTME cycle.
This uncertainty has created a sense of urgency, as students scramble to secure a spot in any institution that aligns with their scores and career aspirations.
