Mistake #1: Not Understanding Admission Requirements
Many students wrongly assume JAMB alone is enough. But each school has specific age limits, subject combinations, and O’Level expectations.
✅ Solution: Always check the JAMB brochure and school websites before applying. Or let Elite Edu Consult help you verify your eligibility.
Mistake #2: Choosing the Wrong Course-Institution Combo
Students often aim too high, applying to Medicine or Law with low scores, wasting time and chances.
✅ Solution: Apply smartly. Consider less competitive schools or courses. Elite Edu Consult offers tailored guidance to improve your chances.
Mistake #3: Ignoring Change of Institution/Course
Scored lower than expected in JAMB? Adjust your choice! Holding on to unrealistic options kills your chances.
✅ Solution: Use the JAMB Change of Course/Institution feature early. Need help? We’ll handle it for you professionally.
Mistake #4: Missing Post-UTME or Screening Deadlines
Each school has its own tight window for applications. Missing this deadline disqualifies you immediately.
✅ Solution: Follow trusted sources and let us monitor your timeline so you never miss a deadline again.
Mistake #5: Uploading Incomplete or Wrong O’Level Results
Wrong exam types, missing subjects, or errors during upload can cause rejection.
✅ Solution: Double-check before submission. We also verify results to match course requirements at Elite Edu Consult.
Mistake #6: Relying on Friends or Social Media for Admission Advice
Bad advice from social groups leads many students astray.
✅ Solution: Admission advice is personal. Consult experts like us for honest, affordable guidance tailored to YOU.
Mistake #7: Poor Preparation for Post-UTME
Post-UTME is still a critical part of your admission process — don’t relax after JAMB!
✅ Solution: Prepare seriously. We provide Post-UTME materials and tutorials. Let’s help you pass confidently.
Mistake #8: Inconsistent Data Across Documents
Mismatched names, birthdates, or emails in your JAMB, WAEC, and school applications can disqualify you.
✅ Solution: Ensure consistency in all records. We can help you correct errors across your documents.
Mistake #9: Waiting Too Long to Seek Help
Every second counts during admission season. Delay can mean denial.
✅ Solution: Act fast. As soon as JAMB results are out, contact Elite Edu Consult to map out your next steps.
Mistake #10: Not Following Up on Your Admission
Admission isn’t automatic. You must check JAMB CAPS, school portals, and emails regularly.
✅ Solution: We offer full monitoring services to ensure you don’t miss out when your name is on the list.
