A young lady who applied to the University of Ibadan (UI) has taken to social media to share her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) score and ask a pressing question about her chances of gaining admission into the institution. While UI has not yet officially released its cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session, many candidates who sat for the 2026 JAMB examination have been actively discussing their scores and seeking guidance.
Lady Posts UTME Score and Seeks Advice
In a recent Facebook post, Ajoke Ade, an aspirant of the University of Ibadan, disclosed the score she obtained in the UTME and the course she wishes to study. She asked her followers a direct question: whether her score would be sufficient to secure admission into the university for her desired program.
Ajoke Ade wrote: “Can I study Law with 254 in UI?” The post quickly garnered attention, with many Nigerians flooding the comments section to offer their opinions and advice.
Reactions from Social Media Users
Damilare Adeyemo commented: “Not really....even 290 wasn't given law... last yr, though another course sha.” Abraham Johnson added: “Nope, law starts from 280 upwards.” Jennifer Gold asked: “Please what course can I study in ui with 201.” Favour Jesudare advised: “You can study law but do very well in your post utme.”

In a similar story, a University of Ibadan aspirant who missed the 2025 cut-off mark by just three points shared her experience online. She scored 314 in her first JAMB attempt but missed admission. In her second try, she scored 317. She also mentioned that someone offered to help her gain admission, prompting her to seek advice online. Many warned her against scams, emphasizing that UI admission is strictly based on merit.
Another inspiring story involves a young boy who wrote UTME multiple times before finally gaining admission into the University of Ibadan. He first scored 295 in 2020 but could not secure admission. After facing disappointment in his post-UTME result, he persisted, wrote JAMB again, achieved a higher score, and eventually gained admission to study his dream course at UI.
UI Graduate Reflects on Her Journey
Meanwhile, a young lady who wrote JAMB “just for experience” while underage has shared her story after graduating from the University of Ibadan. She revealed that the exam eventually led to her admission into UI and also spoke about surviving a tragic accident. Her journey serves as a testament to perseverance and the unpredictable paths that lead to academic success.
