The low results recorded in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has seen several candidates stranded on their next steps.
Following the low scores recorded, candidates are forced to explore alternative institutions and courses they might not have initially considered.
For some, the focus has shifted from prestigious universities to more accessible polytechnics and colleges of education, while others are considering taking a gap year to prepare for the next UTME cycle.
