Many students across the country are feeling nervous and unsure about what to do next after the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced a low success rate for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Many people are worried about the dismal results, particularly those applicants who were hoping to get into prestigious universities. Students are now reconsidering their options and looking into different schools and courses they may not have first thought of because cut-off scores are probably going to be impacted and competition for limited spots is getting even more fierce.
Parents and children alike are increasingly concerned about departmental requirements, catchment areas, and school choices as the admissions season draws near. For trustworthy guidance, many are turning to career guidance counselors, online forums, and educational advisors. Some people are thinking about taking a gap year to get ready for the next UTME cycle, while others have switched their attention from famous universities to more approachable polytechnics and institutes of education. Students are racing to get into any school that matches their test results and job goals because of the uncertainty, which has made them feel pressed for time.
