UI aspirant shares post-UTME score, expresses hope for admission
Rather than celebrate with certainty, the candidate chose a tone of cautious optimism, acknowledging that the outcome remained out of personal control. In the post, the individual wrote:
"Grateful for 286 in JAMB and 70 in UI post-UTME. Now trusting the process for Communication and Language Arts at UI. If this works out, it's God's doing — if not 🥹, it's still His plan. Either way, the journey continues."
The post shared by @igbasan_b27092 on X laid out the full picture: a strong JAMB performance followed by a post-UTME sitting at the University of Ibadan, with the dream of studying Communication and Language Arts firmly in view.
What the scores mean for UI admission
The University of Ibadan is widely regarded as one of Nigeria's most competitive universities, and admission into the Faculty of Arts programmes such as Communication and Language Arts typically demands high combined scores across both the UTME and post-UTME stages. A JAMB score of 286 places the candidate well above the national minimum, while the 70 obtained in the UI screening adds a meaningful boost to the overall profile.
Whether the combined performance will be sufficient for admission depends on the cut-off mark set by the university for the specific course in the 2026 admissions cycle, which is yet to be determined. For now, the candidate has made clear that the wait will be approached with faith rather than anxiety.
