Schools that accepts 150, 180 and Above for Nursing [UPDATED]

 Schools That Accept 150, 180 and Above for Nursing in Nigeria

Many young Nigerians dream of starting a career in the healthcare industry. However, JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board) scores remain one of the biggest challenges students face in gaining admission into Nursing programmes.

Admission into Nursing Science is highly competitive, especially in Federal and top State Universities, where most schools accept nothing below 240 in JAMB.

If you scored low in JAMB but still have a passion for Nursing, there are still opportunities available for you.

JAMB Subject Combination for Nursing

Candidates applying for Nursing are expected to register the following subjects in JAMB:

▪ English Language

▪ Physics

▪ Chemistry

▪ Biology

University With the Lowest Cut-Off Mark for Nursing

At the moment, the university considered to have one of the lowest cut-off marks for Nursing is:

▪ Prince Abubakar Audu University (formerly Kogi State University)

What To Do If You Don’t Meet the Cut-Off Mark for Nursing

If your JAMB score is too low for Nursing, you can still consider these options:

▪ Apply through Direct Entry using JUPEB, IJMB or Cambridge A’Level programmes.

▪ Consider private universities with lower admission requirements.

▪ Study related health science courses and later apply for transfer opportunities.

▪ Explore affordable foreign universities offering Nursing programmes, such as universities in the Philippines.

Schools That Accept 150 for Nursing

▪ Some private universities may consider candidates with scores from 150 and above depending on performance in screening and O’Level results.

▪ McPherson University

Schools That Accept 180 and Above for Nursing

Some private and state universities may consider Nursing candidates with scores from 180 upward.

Important Note

▪ Most Federal Universities and many State Universities require at least 240 and above for Nursing due to high competition.

▪ Having a strong O’Level result can improve your chances even with a lower JAMB score.

▪ Some schools conduct Post-UTME screening which may also influence admission decisions.

Conclusion

Gaining admission into Nursing can be difficult because of the high number of applicants every year. Nevertheless, candidates with lower JAMB scores still have opportunities through private universities, Direct Entry programmes, and alternative admission pathways.

Always confirm the latest admission requirements directly from the institution before applying.
