List of Universities That Accept Low JAMB Scores

In this article, we’ll explore universities that accept low JAMB scores. If your JAMB score is not high and you prefer not to attend polytechnics or colleges of education, you’ll be pleased to know that some universities do accept lower scores for admission.

Understanding Low JAMB Scores

While many believe a low JAMB score is below 180, I consider it any score below the cutoff mark for your chosen course or institution. If your score is lower than expected, don’t worry; there are still universities where you can gain admission.

Admission Possibilities with Low JAMB Scores

Yes, you can get admitted with a low JAMB score. I’ve previously written a comprehensive guide on this topic. Though challenging, it’s possible to gain admission with a low score by exploring institutions with lower admission requirements, less competitive courses, or private universities with different policies.

• Alternative Pathways

If traditional admission routes are not viable, consider pre-degree or remedial programs, which can improve your academic standing and increase your chances of admission. Supplementary or direct entry programs are also worth exploring, though they may require additional exams or qualifications.

• Maximizing Your Admission Chances

Even with a low JAMB score, excelling in other aspects of your application, like writing a compelling personal statement and performing well in O’level exams, is crucial. Preparation for additional entrance exams or interviews can also make a significant difference.
