JAMB: Young lady posts UTME results
However, she did not apply to a regular university but to the Police Academy.
In a video attached to this story, @kemibby16 explained why she could not gain admission with her first score:
“I was happy that the probability of me getting admission was almost set because that score was high, but the thing was, I wasn’t going to a regular school. I was going to the Police Academy.”
“I went for the post-UTME, and I passed the post-UTME. I knew that the post-UTME was over 100, and I got 60+. I proceeded to the screening section, and they told me I was too short to be admitted into their school.”
“That was around December when the school admission process was already closed.”
Aside from that, she mentioned that she sat for another exam the following year and scored a total of 268.
She was also unable to secure admission into the university with that score. The young lady again took part in the 2026 UTME examination and shared her score online.

The TikTok video posted on her page carried a caption that read:
“294 → 268 → 273.”
“Three years.”
“Same exam.”
“Different battles.”
“People will say a lot…”
“Why haven’t you gained admission?”
“You wasted your scores.”
“But what they don’t see is the consistency. The effort.”
“The times I had to start again when I didn’t feel like it.”
“No, it hasn’t gone the way I planned.”
“But I didn’t quit.”
“And that matters.”
“I’m not where I want to be yet…”
“But I’m not behind either.”
“This is still my story.”
“And I’m still writing it.”
The post shared by @kemibby16 captured the attention of many people who have reacted to it in the comments section.

To better understand her story, Legit.ng reached out to a young and very intelligent lady who had scored a very high mark in her first JAMB exam but was denied admission.
She wrote the JAMB exam again, but still didn’t secure admission. Now, she recently took part in the 2026 UTME examination, hoping her third attempt would be her last.
Explaining how she felt when she saw her JAMB score after writing the 2026 UTME, she shared:
"Honestly, it’s been a mix of emotions. There were moments I felt really down and questioned a lot, especially after putting in so much effort. But right now, I feel stronger and more determined. I’m still hopeful, and I believe everything will eventually work out."
She spoke about the score she got in her first JAMB exam and, despite it being very high, explained that she felt she was supposed to score higher.
"I was actually aiming for a score around 320. Looking back, I realized I didn’t prepare as seriously as I should have at the time. I didn’t attend lessons or put in as much structured effort, and that affected my expectations. However, that experience helped me reflect and become more intentional in my preparation in subsequent years."
After her first attempt, she explained why she wasn’t able to secure admission during her second attempt at writing the JAMB exam despite scoring very high once again.
She explained:
"During my second attempt, I changed my institution from the University of Ilorin to the University of Lagos, which made the process more competitive."
"Although I had a strong UTME score, my Post-UTME didn’t go as planned. On the day of the exam, there were technical issues with the system I was using, which affected my performance and led to a below-average score. When my overall aggregate was calculated, it was around the low 60s, which unfortunately wasn’t competitive enough for admission into my chosen course at the University of Lagos."
"When I was denied admission, it really broke me. I didn’t expect something like height to become a barrier, especially when I had worked so hard academically. At that moment, I felt discouraged and confused because I could see other students who weren’t as tall as I am being accepted. My parents were very supportive, even though they were also disappointed. They encouraged me not to see it as the end of my dream but as a delay."
"They reminded me that my worth is not defined by that experience, and they kept pushing me to try again and stay focused."
"Honestly, it wasn’t easy, but their support helped me not give up. That experience actually made me stronger and more determined."
The brilliant lady concluded by adding that she wishes to study her dream course at the University of Benin (UNIBEN).
