The 2019 UTME results for each day of the exam should be available 2 to 3 days after the exams have been taken as it was last year.

This thread will help us monitor the release status of various results for different days. Obviously, JAMB will not announce every time they release a batch of results, so this will be the best avenue to know when the results have been released.Below are dates for each of the days and the status of the results;

11th April Results – No Results Yet

12th April Results – No Results Yet

13th April Results – No Results Yet

15th April Results – No Results Yet

16th April Results – No Results Yet

17th April Results – No Results Yet

18th April Results – No Results Yet

When you see “No Results Yet”, it means the results for that day have not yet been released and have not been confirmed by any candidate.

But when you see “Results are Out”, it means the results have been released by JAMB and it has been confirmed by several candidates. But don’t forget that JAMB may also be releasing the results of a particular day in batches or after Malpractice Investigation is completed for particular centres.

We will be updating the above STATUS based on official announcement from JAMB or verified via candidates comments.So please, feel free to let us know if your result has been released by JAMB, and WHAT DAY YOU WROTE, so we can update the status above.

How Departmental Cut Off Marks Are Determined and Fixed

Have you ever asked yourself, “how does a school determine and fix department cut off mark?” then you’re in luck, because that’s exactly what I am going to show you in this article.

First, I hope you know that there is a difference between JAMB cut off mark for institutions and the departmental cut off marks?

Before we dive deep into the topic, let me quickly explain the difference.

JAMB cut off mark is fixed. Departmental cut off mark is flexible and varies every year. Why does departmental cut off mark change every year? I will explain that to you later in the article.

Also, JAMB cut off mark is the minimum score you must have in UTME before you can apply for Post UTME admission screening exercise.

On the other hand, departmental cut off mark is the minimum aggregate score you must have before you can be admitted for any course you choose.

In most schools, you will surely be given admission once you meet the departmental cut off mark but scoring above the JAMB cut off mark does not guarantee admission.

Still confused? Let me shed more light on that using examples.

JAMB cut off mark for UI is 200. If you want to apply for ANY COURSE in the University of Ibadan, you MUST SCORE at least 200 in JAMB.

However, scoring even 300 in JAMB does not guarantee your admission into UI if you fail the Post UTME and your aggregate score is below the departmental cut off mark for your applied course.

If you prepare for Post UTME the right way and use past questions, passing won’t be an issue.

However, scoring even 300 in JAMB does not guarantee your admission into UI if you fail the Post UTME and your aggregate score is below the departmental cut off mark for your applied course.

If you prepare for Post UTME the right way and use past questions, passing won’t be an issue.

You might later be given another course or you may not.

The same thing applies for OAU, UNILAG, UNN, UNIBEN e.t.c.

Now that you understand the difference, the most important question is how do schools come up with the departmental cut off marks? That is exactly what I am about to show you.

Different schools use different exams to determine the aggregate score.

Since the introduction of JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS), JAMB has made it mandatory that all institutions make use of JAMB as at least 50% of their candidates’ aggregate score.

While it is compulsory that you must meet the minimum O’level requirements for your course (usually 5/6 credits in one or two sittings depending on your course), some schools like UNIBEN, UI and UNN do not use O’level as part of their aggregate score.

Whereas OAU and UNILAG make O’level 10% and 20% of their aggregate score respectively.

So, it is important that you first know how your school of choice calculate the aggregate score.

Also, some schools conduct Post UTME and others do not.

So, JAMB is 50%, the remaining 50% can be:

Shared between Post UTME and O’level scores e.g OAU, OOU, LASU and UNILAG
Post UTME score alone e.g UI, UNN and UNIBEB
O’level score

NOTE: What I listed above is still used as at 2018 and very likely to be used in 2019 too. But, remember that there might be changes.

Knowing that, let’s go to the last and most important fact which is;

DEPARTMENTAL CUT OFF MARK IS USUALLY THE LOWEST AGGREGATE SCORE AMONG THE ADMITTED CANDIDATES FOR A GIVEN YEAR.

For example. If 10,000 people applied to study Medicine in University of Ibadan and only 150 are admitted because of the departmental quota, the cut off mark for Medicine in UI for that year will be the least aggregate score among the 150 admitted candidates that year.

So, let’s say;

30 candidates had above 80 in their aggregate
100 had between 76 and 80
19 had between 74 and 76
The remaining 1 candidate had 73.4

The departmental cut off mark for Medicine in UI that year will be 73.4.

That is why once you score below the departmental cut off mark, admission is not sure unless your leg in longer that 6fts.

You get the point now?

The departmental cut off mark is the aggregate score (not JAMB/Post UTME score) of the last candidate that will be admitted that year.

So, if you are going to gain admission for that course and you score below the departmental cut off mark, they either have to admit more than their quota or admit less than their quota on merit.

I really hope that you enjoyed the article. If yes, don’t forget to share it using the share buttons below.

Date For Reprinting of 2019 JAMB Exam Slip Has Not Been Confirmed – JAMB

The spokesman of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Dr Fabian Benjmin has stated that due to the fact that the date for the 2019 UTME has not been officially confirmed, the reprinting of the 2019 exam slip will not possibly commence on March 2nd, 2019 as earlier envisaged.

He said as it is now, no date has been fixed for the main examination and there is no way anybody can print examination notification slip when the examination date, itself, has not been fixed.

He added that when the actual date for the 2019 UTME has been finally determined, the reprinting of the exam slip will commence two weeks to that date.

He assured candidates and stakeholders that JAMB will soon make an official announcement on the date for the main exam and the reprinting of exam slip.

JAMB 2019 Mock Exam Slip Printing - Activated

JAMB has now activated the portal for the printing of UTME 2019 Mock exam slip. Candidates, who indicated interest to write the Mock Exam during the early registration period, can now print their exam slip for the mock exam, which is expected to hold on 23rd March. The mock exam slip will indicate the venue and time of the exam for eligible candidates.
Just like in previous years, JAMB may likely send candidates their Mock Exam venue via SMS and email. We have created this thread, with minute by minute updates, for candidates to know if JAMB has begun sending Mock exam venue and time to candidates. Whether you're writing the 2019 Mock Exam or Not, this publication will definitely help you stay informed on the processes that will be involved in the Main Exam. Please see further instructions below;

We advise all those who are eligible for the Mock Exam to check their emails (including junk/SPAM Folder) and phones from now and look out for such notifications from JAMB. Once you receive such, please don't hesitate to come back here and let us know your findings, so as to alert other candidates.

Steps to Check and Reprint JAMB Mock Exam Slip

Visit the checking portal at this link; https://www.jamb.org.ng/ExamSlipPrinting1/PrintMockExaminationSlip
Enter your JAMB Reg. No or Email in the space provided, and click "Print Examination Slip".
When the Exam Slip is revealed to you, go ahead and print it.

If you're sure you are not writing the Mock Exam, the JAMB CBT Mobile App and/or JAMB CBT Software for Computers will be very helpful in giving you the same Mock Exam Experience from your home.

WAEC Concluding Plans To Implement The Use Of CBT In Its Exams - HNO

The Head of National Office (HNO) of the West African Examination Council (WAEC), Mr Olu Adenipekun has disclosed that plans are on ground to introduce its examination on CBT platform. He said that the CBT test would start with its objective questions, noting that the council was already concluding establishment of its CBT Centre at Ogba in Ikeja.

He added that the centre will be a world-class centre and will be used for all related CBT activities OF THE council including marking of scripts or related purposes.

He called on stakeholders – corporate individuals and organisations – to join hands with the council in establishing CBT centres nationwide, in schools and other places.

He however said that the introduction of CBT, starting with the objective questions, would be a gradual thing since it would not be easy to ask students who might not have been exposed to computers while in school to just come and take the examination with computers.

"Where any schools feel they have been training their students on how to apply the computers very well and therefore want us to come and administer such a test using the computers, why not? We will do it. “That is why I say, for us to be able to introduce the CBT test for our examinations, it will take combined efforts of all of us – schools, WAEC and other keys stakeholders,’’ he explained.
