After 2025 JAMB UTME, What's Next? Here's What Every Candidate Should Do

Published on May 27, 2025 • Education

Now that almost all 2025 JAMB UTME results have been released, it is not uncommon to see a good number of candidates celebrating, while others are disappointed. Whichever category you fall in, it is important to know that a high JAMB score is not an automatic ticket to higher institutions neither does a low JAMB score automatically disqualify you for admission.

We have seen candidates with high JAMB scores who failed to secure admission into any institution and had to retake JAMB and we have equally seen candidates with low JAMB Scores (Less than 200) who gained admission without having to wait for another JAMB.

After 2025 JAMB UTME, What's Next? Here's What Every Candidate Should Do

>> What was my school's cut-off mark last year?

>> What was the cut-off mark for my intended course of study?

>> Do I need a change of course/institution?

>> What's the school's Post-UTME Screening like?

>> How Can I prepare adequately for the school's Post-UTME Screening?

The answers to these critical questions will help you know what next step to take towards successfully securing admission this year.

If going by your score, you stand a better chance of gaining admission in a polytechnic, by all means, go for it. Unless of course, you don't mind patronizing JAMB next year.

Another advise is this; do not wait for your school of choice to announce sales of Post-UTME form before you start preparing for it. We have made available the Post-UTME Past Questions for various schools.

Finally, do not also forget ALLCBTs will be here for you all through the journey. So ensure you visit regularly for updates regarding the 2025/2026 Admission exercise.

Admission Success to you all!
