Scored Between 140–180 in JAMB? Don’t Panic – These Universities Will Still Welcome You!

Hey there, future uni student! 🎓

If your JAMB score is somewhere between 140 and 180, don’t stress—you still have a great shot at getting into a university this year. A smart move you can make right now is to use the JAMB Change of Institution option.

What’s that? It’s a chance to switch from a university with a really high cut-off mark to one that’s more flexible and realistic with your score. Many universities in Nigeria are totally open to students like you and actually expect to take in candidates through this process.

Here’s a list of universities known for accepting students with lower JAMB scores, especially if you choose them during the change of institution:
