DO YOU KNOW?
The Jamb score you need to gain admission is determined by 6
factors.
· 1. Jamb Performance.
· 2. General Course of nature .
· 3. Competition of the course in
your choice University.
· 4. The Number of students to
be admitted.
· 5. O’ level performance
· 6. Admission Factors: Merit,
Catchment and Educationally less developed States.
1. Jamb Performance:
The higher the performance of students in Jamb, the higher the cut
off the mark. This is one reason we cannot easily predict the Jamb cut off
until results are out.
The more candidates pass well in Jamb and post UTME, the
higher the general, faculty and departmental cut off. Last year’s cut of mark
for your course will likely not be the cut off mark to be used this year (Since
the performance of candidates change yearly).
2. Nature of Your Course Generally:
Professional courses in Nigeria namely: Medicine And Surgery,
Pharmacy, Engineering, Law, Accounting and so on require you to get
a higher Jamb score.
However, newer and less competitive courses like entrepreneurship,
mathematics, etc require relatively low Jamb UTME score. This is because only a
few candidates apply to study such courses in the universities.
If you are not extremely intelligent, your best bet is to study
courses that so many persons don’t apply for. With this, it is very easy for
you to gain admission once.
3. Competition of the Course in your Choice University:
Some Universities are known to be good some courses. Because of
this, the demand for it in that particular school gets higher than in other
schools.
For example FUTO, UI and UNIBEN are known to be good at
Engineering, AAU is known for Law and Uniben for Pharmacy (Since they
offer a doctor of Pharmacy certificate). You will expect the cut off mark
for those courses in these schools to be higher than it is in other
citadels of learning.
4. The Number of Students to be Admitted:
The higher the carrying capacity of a University, the more they
are willing to admit. This will increase the chance of being admitted with a
relatively low score.
Some Universities admit over ten thousand candidates while others
admit even below four thousand candidates.
5. Nigerian Admission Factors:
Admission factors such as Merit, Catchment and Educationally less
developed States determine the Jamb score you need to be admitted. Cut off for
merit is usually the highest. With a relatively low score, you can be admitted
based on State and catchment.
6. O'level performance
In Nigerian schools, O'level is a very big criteria for gaining admission, that is why oftentimes you will notice one makes a great score for JAMB and will be held back because o'level performance.

Exact Jamb Score You Need To Gain Admission
Although the above factors are responsible for the Jamb score you
need to be sure of admission, yet we have studied the cut off curve over time.
With a score above 250 to 280, You have a chance of being admitted
to study a competitive course.
With a Jamb score of 200 to 250, You have a chance of getting a
moderately competitive course.
A score of 290+ should guarantee you admission to study any
course.
Introducing Post UTME 2020
If post UTME holds, then, it is a good new to those who are not
able to get up to the Jamb scores listed above. A very high post UTME
score will boost your low Jamb score (so long you score above the
general cut off mark).
