Go for a change of course/institution
My friend that was offered admission in 2002 makes use of the opportunity provided by JAMB which is a change of course/institution. He changed from UNIPORT to LAUTECH once he discovered that LAUTECH accepts below 190 for some courses.
Change of course/institution is a saving grace once you have discovered that your JAMB score is below the cut-off mark of your school. It is a wise decision to make to save your score. Although you may need to opt for course/institution that you don’t really like. For example, someone that score 190 and wanted to study medicine may have to go for change his or her course to biology in a university that accept below 180 in JAMB. This can even make you change to a polytechnic against the university you chose initially.
Prepare well for post-UTME
This only comes to play when you have met the cut-off mark. Meeting the cut-off mark doesn’t equate to offer of admission, you have to have a good post–UTME score to make your chance brighter. Many institutions use JAMB score + post-UTME score + O’ level result to determine who they offer admission. So you must start preparing now.
