Journey to Uni/ college entry in Nigeria

 So my journey to the University was quite tiring and exhausting. After boarding the flight we (my mum and I) used land transport to go to the state where the university was located at.

...fast forward to the end ...we booked a hotel after arriving where we will be resting for a week as my mum tries and settles me before she departs.

Let me clarify one thing straight, ..but first of all if you are new to this blog then Hi, my name is Maryblessing and I am a student studying in Nigeria. In this blog I will be documenting my journey both in school and outside school. You can check out this particular post where I introduced myself fully. 

COLLEGE (UNIVERSITY) ENTRY IN NIGERIA

Things are pretty straight to the point when entering College. So this is how it goes, during the last year of your secondary school studies (high school) you are opt to write 2 final exams NECO and WAEC. This depends on your school if you want to write a school exam or some people decide to write theirs after high school (this is rare though). It all depends on you. But before these exams are written, a CBT based exam called JAMB is issued before the rest (NECO and WAEC) by schools but few decide to write the JAMB exam after they must have written their NECO and WAEC. This JAMB is a very critical one as it is highly recommended and overrated by virtually every Nigerian university.

After you have taken your JAMB, constantly check your profile( which will be created during registration ) to see if any of your selected schools (universities); which you must have placed down during registration, have offered you admission into their institution. This all depends on your result if you reached or exceed both the cut off mark of the school in general and your departmental cutoff mark of the school. If you have been accepted to one, congrats, if not keep patient and keep checking.

If you were not accepted to any maybe based on your cutoff mark or bad luck; no worries, there are so many alternatives.

1. You can change your choice of institution.

2. You can change your choice of course (if your university truly wants to help you they can recommend you changing to another course in order for admission to be given to you).

3. You can apply for other programs like Direct entry programs.

4. Or you can take another Jamb.

It all boils down to what you want and what you know that its best for you!!

After being accepted, go to the school and find out the necessary things required or simply go to their website but I would recommend going to the school environment and doing the needful than online, that's my opinion btw.

Then proceed to the payment and settlement of the university after which you will be given your matric number which will certify you into matriculation by the institution of which you will become an Undergraduate.

That's all for College entry in Nigeria.

PS: before and during your admission pray for grace to start well and end well because Nigeria as a country is not beans when it comes to going to school.
