Comprehensive guides for Nigerian university aspirants: JAMB UTME registration, subject combinations, cut-off marks, Post-UTME screening, course selection, and university tuition profiles.
Choose a university in Nigeria by working backwards from three constraints: what you can afford (total session cost, not just fees), where you can actually gain admission (departmental cut-off for your course, not the institutional minimum), and whether the specific department is accredited, staffed, and equipped for your course. Everything else — prestige, location preference, … Read more
Choose a course after JAMB by matching three things: your UTME subjects and score (which courses your combination and score actually qualify you for), your O’Level credits (which courses your five credits, in the required subjects, cover), and a field you can sustain for four years and after graduation. A course chosen on prestige alone, … Read more
To check NUC accreditation for a university course: find the programme on the NUC’s current published accreditation list for that university, confirm the cycle date, and confirm the same programme (same name, same university) with the university’s academic planning unit in writing. If the programme appears on the current list under its current name, it … Read more
You can check your JAMB result two official ways: by SMS, or online on JAMB’s portal. SMS is fastest on a basic phone; the portal is better if you want to see the full breakdown and print or save it. Do not use third-party “result checker” sites. They are not JAMB, and some exist only … Read more
Your registration status is confirmed on your JAMB profile and on your registration slip — not on a single public “status” page, and not on CAPS. If you have a JAMB registration number, a registration slip with your photo and details, and the same details showing on your e-Facility profile, your registration went through. This … Read more

That is the check — everything below is how to do it without getting stuck on the phone screen. Checking is free. You need only three things: your registered email … Read more
To check a university admission list: check JAMB CAPS first (it is the authoritative record), then check the institution’s official portal or published list for your name, course, and session — and treat the two as a pair. A name on an institution’s list without a CAPS offer is not yet an admission, and a … Read more
Log in at efacility.jamb.gov.ng, open UTME Data Correction, pay the ₦2,500 portal fee for the correction, then complete the change at an accredited CBT centre or JAMB office — and print your correction slip. Changing institution does not guarantee admission; the new institution must still accept your score, subjects and O’Level results. Candidates change institution … Read more

There is no single national aggregate formula. Each institution sets its own formula, and your aggregate is only meaningful on that institution’s scale. Anyone giving you one universal formula without naming the institution is misleading you — politely, but misleading you. What this guide does is teach you the three formulas institutions actually use, with … Read more
