When students score 150 in JAMB, they often feel that the end of their academic pursuit has come, but the good news is that many universities in Nigeria admit students despite scoring as low as 150 in JAMB. From our research, we are able to discover that over 66 state universities, 20 federal universities, and 74 private universities in Nigeria accepts candidate that score 150 in JAMB for admission.

However, because these schools accept 150 in JAMB does not mean that you will be accepted into professional courses; the 150 can only give you less competitive courses in the faculty of Science, Education, Agriculture, Business Management, and Art. Courses offered in the Faculty of Health Sciences, Pharmacy, Law, Dentistry, Medicine, and Engineering require a very high score because these are professional courses, and there is a lot of competition from top scorers in JAMB who want to study these, so applying to these courses in a university that accepts 150 in JAMB will not get you admission.
