PathVerge
Career paths, made clear — personalised university-course recommendations, JAMB subject combinations, and clear next steps for Nigerian secondary school students. Live now at pathverge.tech.
What It Does
PathVerge is a free career-guidance platform for Nigerian senior secondary students in SS 1, SS 2 and SS 3, live at pathverge.tech. Students complete a short guided assessment about their strongest subjects, interests and preferences, and receive three personalised university-course recommendations, each with its JAMB subject combination, O'Level requirements, cut-off marks and related careers. Guardian consent is built into the process, and safeguarding is designed in: a student's first name never leaves their own device, and only a minimised, anonymised submission is stored. Schools take part with a school code, and counsellors support their own students from a private dashboard. The admission requirements behind every recommendation are verified against published university sources.
PathVerge's first school pilot begins in January 2027 with a pilot school in Anambra State, ahead of wider availability to schools.
For Students
Students in SS 1 to SS 3 can discover three personalised course recommendations based on their strongest subjects, interests and preferences — each with JAMB subject combinations, O'Level requirements, cut-off marks and career paths. Results can be printed as a Career Guidance Report, or shared with a parent or guardian through a private link.
For Counsellors
Counsellors sign in to a private dashboard for their own school: review submissions, view analytics, export records to CSV, and publish action plans for students. Students only ever see what their counsellor has reviewed and published.
For Schools
Schools receive a unique school code that identifies all their students' submissions. Students use PathVerge at pathverge.tech — no installation required; simply share the link.
How It Works
Students complete a simple four-step assessment. The platform matches their profile against verified admission requirements and generates personalised recommendations.
About You
Enter your school code (provided by your counsellor), your first name, and your class — SS 1, SS 2 or SS 3 — then choose your three strongest subjects. Your first name stays on your own device; it is never sent to or stored on our servers.
Your Interests
Select the areas that genuinely interest you — technology, healthcare, art, business, law, and more. Choose at least one. The platform uses these alongside your subjects for better matching.
Preferences
Choose your preferred institution type (Federal, State, or Private), your preferred state, and your expected WAEC/NECO grade range. These fine-tune the recommendations to your situation.
Guardian Consent
A parent or guardian gives their full name, their relationship to the student, and a phone number, and confirms consent. No submission is stored without it.
Your results: three personalised course recommendations, each with JAMB subjects, O'Level requirements, cut-off marks and career paths — ready to print as a Career Guidance Report, or to share with a parent or guardian using a private Share Summary link.
What Each Recommendation Includes
Every recommendation is comprehensive and actionable — not just a course name, but everything a student needs to plan their next step.

Share Summary
Students can create a read-only link showing only their class and their recommendations, to send to a parent or guardian. The link contains no names, contact details or answers, and expires after 30 days.
Ask About Admissions
Questions about admission requirements do not end with the recommendations. PathVerge includes a chat, Ask About Admissions, that answers questions about Nigerian university admissions from verified sources. Every answer shows its sources — the source title, a link, and the date the source was verified — and where PathVerge holds no verified information, it says so and points you to the official source rather than guessing.
Start Your PathVerge Journey
PathVerge now runs on its own site. Open it, enter your school code, and complete the four-step assessment — it takes a few minutes, on phone, tablet or desktop.
Free for students. Your school needs a school code — ask your counsellor, or get your school onboarded.
Powerful Counsellor Dashboard
Each school gets a unique code, and counsellors sign in to see only their own school's submissions — identified by learner labels, not student names — with analytics, export and a review-and-publish step built in.
Private School Access
Counsellors sign in with their school's credentials to see only their own students' submissions. Each school's records are kept separate and private.
Review and Publish
When a student saves an admissions chat for their counsellor, the counsellor reviews it, can edit the reply, and publishes an action plan. Nothing reaches the student unpublished.
CSV Export
Download your school's submission records as a CSV file in one click, for follow-up and analysis in Excel.
Analytics Charts
Visual insights showing subject popularity, course recommendation trends, and submission timelines. To protect students, groups of fewer than five students are not shown.
Give Your Students Access
There is nothing to install. Share the link — pathverge.tech — on your school website, notice board or class groups, and give students your school code. If your school previously embedded PathVerge using the old address, please update it to pathverge.tech.
No Installation
Nothing to install or embed. Students simply open pathverge.tech — no plugins, no downloads, no server setup required.
Free to Use
PathVerge is free for students, and schools pay nothing to take part.
Mobile Responsive
Works beautifully on phones, tablets, and desktops. Students can use it from anywhere.
Free Guides
Two free guides explain PathVerge step by step: a Counsellor Guide, covering sessions, the dashboard and publishing action plans, and a Student and Guardian Guide in plain language, covering consent, the assessment and results. Read them online or download the PDFs at pathverge.tech/guides.html.
