UTME 2026: Boy With B3 in WAEC Biology Scores 46 in JAMB, Cries After Seeing Result: The 2026 UTME result season has brought mixed reactions from candidates across Nigeria. While some students are celebrating high scores, others are disappointed after seeing results that did not match their expectations.
One case currently trending online is that of a young boy who became emotional after checking his JAMB result. The student, who earlier had a B3 in WAEC Biology, said he never expected the outcome after months of serious preparation.
Boy Cries Out After Checking 2026 JAMB Result
According to reports shared online, the candidate identified as Atambi John Ofar wrote the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and later checked his result with sadness.
He explained that he decided to wait until 2026 to write JAMB because he wanted to prepare very well. Instead of rushing the exam the previous year, he spent extra months studying past questions and focusing on Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
Sadly, the result did not come out as he hoped.
The result according to him on tiktok:
Candidate Had Strong WAEC Background
What made the story more surprising was that the student had performed well during his secondary school days.
He said he scored B3 in WAEC Biology and was also recognised as one of the best students in school. Because of this, many people expected him to score very high in JAMB.
This shows that WAEC and JAMB are different exams. A student may do well in one and still struggle in another.
Full Breakdown of His JAMB Score
The student scored a total of 211.
His subject scores were:
- English Language – 59
- Physics – 59
- Chemistry – 47
- Biology – 46
For a student hoping to study Nursing, the score may still be challenging because Nursing is highly competitive in many universities.
Can He Still Gain Admission?
Yes, admission is still possible depending on the school and course chosen.
He may consider:
Change of Course
Related science or health courses with lower competition.
Polytechnic Admission
Many polytechnics offer quality programmes.
School Of Nursing Or College Of Nursing
In Nigeria, a School of Nursing (SON) offers a 3-year hospital-based diploma program focusing on clinical training (Registered Nurse certificate), while a College of Nursing (CON) offers a 4-year ND/HND program combining academic (National Diploma/Higher National Diploma) with clinical training (RN/RM licenses).
Explore or go for JUPEB or IJMB
Both JUPEB (Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board) and IJMB (Interim Joint Matriculation Board) are advanced-level programs in Nigeria that allow students to gain Direct Entry (DE) admission into the 200-level of a university, bypassing the JAMB UTME
Rewrite JAMB
If Nursing especially in Competitive Universities is his only option then rewriting might be advisable, then this time around he should check vividly what went wrong then look for correction.
Important Advice for Candidates
If your score is lower than expected, do not lose hope. Many students have succeeded after setbacks like this.
Take time to review your options, check school requirements, and make the best next move.
One exam result does not define your future.
