Anyone that has been following the 2016/2017 admission process should be able to underscore the fact that it is not going to be an easy one for candidates especially as most candidates quest is to gain admission into a university with little or no consideration for polytechnics and Colleges of education.
Going by the figure released by JAMB as the number of candidates that scored up to 180 (which is the bench cut-off mark for all institutions) in the last UTME, it is easy to see that the number of candidates that will be jostling for admission far outweighs the carrying capacity of all the universities in the country put together. This means that a good number of candidates who ordinarily are qualified to gain admission into universities of their choice will fail to secure one because of this obvious fact.
Candidates are therefore advised to spread their options instead of putting all their eggs in one basket. Take all your choice schools Admission Screening/Post-UTME seriously.
As schools have started announcing their admission screening exercises/post-UTME many candidates will likely have their minds centered on just the universities of their choices neglecting the polytechnics and Colleges of education.
This does not seem like a wise thing to do, unless of course you have made up your mind that it is either a university or nothing else. In that case even if the admission does not favour you this year, you can try again next year.
But for those who really need it this year, don't just buy the screening/post-UTME form of your choice universities only; also get those for your choice polytechnic and college of education. That way, you have increased your chances of gaining admission this year.
