If you’re aiming for university admission this year, read this carefully — your chances may depend on it!

JAMB Is Now All About Ranking — Not Just Score

Prof. Oloyede, the JAMB Registrar, confirmed:

JAMB is not an achievement test; it is a ranking exam.”

That means your admission chances don’t just depend on how well you scored — but how your score compares to other candidates.

All JAMB result slips will now include:

Your actual score
Your national rank
Real-Life Examples:

A student with 370 ranked only 16th
A student with 200 ranked 533,005th
A score of 140 may land you a rank of over 1.5 million
Takeaway: Focus on your ranking, not just the score.

JAMB Tightens Admission Rules Against “Runs”

Universities must admit at least 90% of candidates on merit before using “connections” (exemption mode).

Merit-first is now policy — and it’s enforced.

Minimum Age for Admission Remains 16

Anyone younger than 16 is not eligible for admission — regardless of their JAMB score.

Medical Courses Still Most Competitive

Over 570,000 candidates applied for Medical Sciences.
Only about 115,000 can be admitted.

That’s less than 1 in 5 applicants — make sure your backup plans are solid!

Final Words for Students and Parents:

The game has changed.

Your child scoring 300+ is great — but if they rank 200,000th, it might not mean much.
Focus on rank, stay alert, and act fast on every admission offer.
