How to Gain Admission with Low JAMB Score 2023

Updated on August 23, 2023 by Blessing Olarewaju

Gaining admission with a low JAMB score is challenging for many admission aspirants.

How to Get Admission With Low JAMB Score

I know right now you are feeling down. It seems like there is no hope for you to gain admission this year.

You do not have to give up because your JAMB score is low.

Trust me when I say there is always a way out of every difficult situation.

For the records, a low JAMB score is a score below 180.

The problem is that many Universities set their JAMB cut-off mark at 180.

It means that if you do not have a JAMB score above 180, you can not apply to the school of your choice.

Also, some students pass the JAMB cut off. But their score is too low to get the course they want to study.

For example, a JAMB score of 200 is low to get a course like Medicine, Law, etc., in most Universities in Nigeria.

In this post, I will show you tips that you can use to get admission with a low score in JAMB.

Let me know in the comment box if you have any questions or need counselling. I will respond to your comment as soon as possible.

Gain Admission with a Low JAMB Score

Here are the ways that you can get admission with a low JAMB score;

Score High and Pass Your Post UTME

Scoring high and passing your Post UTME exams with flying colours is the easy way to gain admission.

Even with a low JAMB score, you can boost your chances of admission with a high Post UTME score.

Many Universities use JAMB plus Post UTME to calculate the total score for admission.

For example, the University of Nigeria uses the 60:40 formula.

Thus, you can get admission if you can pull off a high performance in your Post UTME.

Also, you must know that you must have a score around the required JAMB cut off to get admission.

For example, a student with 250 can target a high Post UTME score to get Law.

But if your JAMB score is low, let’s say below 190. Then scoring high in the Post UTME exams may not make much difference.

Change Your Course of Study

At this stage, buying the JAMB change of course form is best.

The fact is that you cannot get a competitive course with a low JAMB score.

For example, getting Mass Communication in many Universities with a low score is impossible.

The best decision would be to buy a change of course form to a less competitive course.

What you need to do right now is to check if your JAMB score is suitable for the course that you want to study.

Tell me your JAMB score and the course you want to study so I can counsel you.

Change Your Institution

Your low JAMB score requires buying a JAMB change of institution form.

It is a waste of time to think you can get admission to some schools with low JAMB scores.

Many aspirants make the mistake of attending competitive schools with low JAMB scores. You will not get admission because of the stiff competition.

I recommend that you read how to get admission to Nigeria.

The best decision is to apply to a less competitive institution.

It is a good decision because you may still study your dream course in a less competitive school. There are some Universities where you can study Medicine with a score as low as 270.

Do not blind yourself with the mindset that you must attend a Federal school.

If the school has NUC accreditation, do not worry about whether it is Federal or State.

Polytechnic

Applying to a Polytechnic is the best option for aspirants with low JAMB scores. Admission into the Polytechnic is less competitive than the Universities.

Also, many Polytechnic accept a JAMB score of 140 for consideration for admission.

You might say you do not want to attend a Polytechnic. But it is better than staying at home for one extra year.

You can decide to take JAMB in your first year at the Polytechnic or apply for Direct entry after your ND 1 or HND.

Pre-degree Program

The pre-degree program is a one-year A’level academic program. It is an easy way to get admission into Universities in Nigeria.

Universities that run the program admit students for one year. At the end of the program, top students get admission.

Students applying for the pre-degree program must also take the JAMB form. It means you will get two chances of admission through pre-degree and JAMB.

I must let you know that admission through pre-degree is competitive. Most of the time, aspirants get a course that is not their choice.

For example, you can apply for a pre-degree in UNIZIK for Medical Laboratory Science. At the end of the program, you will get admission to Agric.

School of Nursing

Schools of nursing in Nigeria are institutions that train registered nurses. The duration of the program is three years.

After graduation, you can attend the University via direct entry or practice nursing full-time.

There are many opportunities for Nurses in Nigeria and abroad.

Though, this option is for science students who are passionate about the Nursing profession.

College of Health Technology

College of Health Technology are institutions that train science students in Medical-related courses.

You can study some lucrative medical courses at the College of Health Technology.

Here are some of the courses that you can study at the College of Health Technology in Nigeria;

College of Education

Admission into the College of Education is a good option for students with low JAMB scores.

The College of Education in Nigeria run two years program.

You can use the result to gain admission into the University through direct entry.

Institute of Management Technology

Institute of Management Technology (IMT) accepts students with low JAMB scores.

You can check if the Institute in your State see if your O’level result can get you admission.

Here are some of the courses offered at the Institute of Management Technology;

JUPEB Admission

JUPEB stands for Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board. It is an admission program that runs for one year.

Successful candidates would then be eligible for admission through direct entry into the second year.

The best part about the program is that you will not start from the first year when you gain admission through the JUPEB program.

It is important to note that the program is competitive. Getting a high point score to qualify for admission into your desired course would be best.
