48 Nigerian Private Universities That Offer Admission Without JAMB
Private Universities that offer admission without JAMB are ‘answered prayers’ to Nigerians who have issues with scaling the JAMB hurdle.
JAMB (Joint admissions and matriculations board) is a board that screens prospective students of Nigerian higher institutions. They make sure that the aspirants of Nigerian universities are academically qualified for the type of course that they intend to study at that university.
But in reality, the JAMB screening is not an easy task, so many aspirants fall short of the required cutoff mark, and this strenuous process of admission has done little to cut down the large army of Nigerians who are left out of school each year.
The issue of JAMB cannot be told without mentioning the associated stress of exam anxiety, and the stress of traveling to faraway towns to sit for the exams.
All those issues have been part of the reason JAMB participants’ performances have been below par sometimes, which ultimately leads to a lack of admission as they may not meet the required JAMB cut-off mark for their choice institutions.
The Solution To JAMB Candidates’ Admission Woes.
This issue that JAMB candidates have been facing has prompted the Nigerian university commission (NUC) to seek out alternative ways of alleviating JAMB candidates’ admission woes.
The NUC finally made a decision by allowing some private universities to be able to take in students without the students passing through JAMB’s rigorous screening.
Yes, you heard that right. There are private universities that offer admission without JAMB!
This has created a way for JAMB candidates to easily change their choice of institution when they sit for JAMB and didn’t meet the required cutoff mark for their choice institutions.
They can either change to a school whose JAMB cutoff mark is within the range of their JAMB score or an institution that doesn’t require JAMB for their admission processes. A win for everybody.
