Nigerian Universities that accept low JAMB scores for 2022 admission (Full list)

Full List of Nigerian Universities Accepting Low Jamb Score for All Courses for 2022 Admission can be accessed below.

What to Do When your JAMB Exam Score is Low

This is a guide for what to do when your JAMB score is below 180. I will now list what to do when you scored below 150 below in JAMB.

(1) Check for the list of universities that accept low JAMB score

The first step is to check the previous JAMB cut-off mark for each University and that will give you a clue to Universities and Polytechnics that accept low JAMB scores.

(2) Go for a change of course/institution

(3) Prepare well for Post-UTME

This only comes to play when you have met the cut-off mark. Meeting the cut-off mark doesn’t equate to an offer of admission, you have to have a good Post UTME score to make your chance brighter. Many institutions use the JAMB score + post-UTME score + O’ level result to determine who they offer admission to. So you must start preparing now.
