While the test is 30 marks and the examinations is 70 marks. So candidates are advised to take their continuous assessment serious not only during the examination.


Q6. Should I Go For Public Or Private JUPEB Centres?

A. That depend on you and your finances, private JUPEB centres price might be a little higher than public centres, but the method of teaching would definitely be different. So if you have the money, go for private. Our reasons being that

1. You will have less populate students for each class, wish help the lecturers to interact one to one to know the area of deficiency. 

2. Your practicals would purely be practicals, what we means that is that there would be enough laboratory equipment that would go round for students to study.
3. You have enough space in your hostels and less unnecessary distractions from other activities that are not JUPEB base.

4. Your hostels most times within the area where you are receiving lectures, so you have less stress after lectures


Disadvantage Of Private JUPEB Centres are.

1. You might not have any approve JUPEB centres in your state/area. so you might need to travel from your parents roof.

2. The lectures might be too much, since no private centres we want their candidates fail, and the only way they can do this, is by intensive lecturing and monitoring

3. You do not have much freedom like JUPEB public centres.
