Understanding UTME/JAMB
The UTME is a computer-based test (CBT) conducted annually for candidates seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions. Here's what you need to know:
UTME (University Admission)
For candidates with O'Level results (WAEC/NECO) seeking admission to universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. Conducted annually between April and May. Candidates select institution choices and course of study during registration. Results are typically released within 2-3 weeks.
Direct Entry (DE)
For candidates with NCE, OND, HND, or A'Level qualifications seeking advanced standing admission (typically into 200 Level). We also provide specialized preparation for Direct Entry candidates, though our primary focus is UTME preparation for first-time university entrants.
UTME Examination Structure
The UTME consists of four subjects tested in a single 3-hour session:
Use of English (Compulsory)
Duration: Part of the 3-hour exam | Questions: 60 questions
Tests comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, lexis and structure, oral English, and summary writing. Required for all candidates regardless of course of study. Critical for achieving high aggregate scores.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start preparing for UTME?
Ideally, begin preparation 4-6 months before the examination (October/November). However, our intensive crash courses can help candidates who start later. Earlier preparation allows for thorough coverage and better scores.
What UTME score do I need for my course?
Cut-off scores vary by institution and course. Competitive programs like Medicine (280+), Law (260+), and Engineering (250+) require higher scores. Most courses require 200-220. We help you research specific requirements for your target universities.
Can I change my course or institution after UTME?
Yes! JAMB allows a one-time change of course and/or institution after the examination (typically for a fee). However, choose carefully during registration to avoid complications. We provide counseling to help you make informed initial choices.
How many universities can I choose?
You can select up to four institution choices during JAMB registration, ranking them in order of preference. Your first choice is most important, but having backup options is crucial.
What happens if I don't meet the cut-off score?
If you don't achieve your desired score, you can retake UTME the following year. Many students improve significantly in their second attempt with proper preparation. We offer specialized classes for retake candidates focusing on score improvement.
Do you help with JAMB registration?
Yes! We provide comprehensive guidance on JAMB registration including: creating your profile, selecting subjects, choosing institutions, payment procedures, and obtaining your registration number. We also help with obtaining JAMB exam slips.
What is the difference between UTME and Post-UTME?
UTME is the national JAMB examination for tertiary institution admission. Post-UTME is an additional screening conducted by individual universities to further assess candidates who meet their UTME cut-off. Both are important for admission consideration.
How important are my O'Level results?
Very important! Universities require minimum O'Level credits (usually 5 including English and Mathematics) alongside good UTME scores. Some competitive programs may specify particular O'Level grade requirements (e.g., minimum B3 in science subjects for Medicine).
