Jamb 2018 Score that guarantees your admission to the university

What Jamb score do I need to get admitted into the University to study Law, Medicine, Engineering, Pharmacy, Accounting, Agriculture, etc? So many persons ask similar questions.

You may also ask, “I scored between 180 and 200……can I gain admission with my score? If that’s your question, then this article is for you. I will try to make it very easy and straight forward.

Now, the Jamb Score which Guarantees You Admission Into Any University is directly  proportional to your choice of course.

I hear people say that with a score of 250 you are automatically Admitted to study any course. Seriously I don’t know the origin of that lie. But I am sure that it did not originate from Jamb or any school.

What You Must Score In Jamb 2018 To Gain Admission
The Jamb score you need to gain admission is determined by five factors.

1.Performance of students in Jamb Results.
2.Nature of Your course Generally.
3.Competition of the course in your choice University.
4.The Number of students to be admitted.
5.Admission Factors: Merit, Catchment and Educationally less developed States.

I will briefly explain each factor and how they determine what you need to score in Jamb for sure admission.

1. Performance of students in Jamb:
The higher the performance of students in Jamb, the higher the cut off mark that year. That is why we cannot easily predict the average Jamb score.

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 you course will likely not be the cut of mark to be used this year (Since performance of candidates changes yearly).

2. Nature of Your course Generally:
Hot cake Courses like 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 requires relatively low utme score. This is because only few candidates apply to study such courses in the universities.
3. The Competition of the course in your choice University:
Some Universities are known to be good some courses. Because o
f 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 know for Law and Uniben for Pharmacy (Since they offer doctor of Pharmacy certificate). You will expect the cut of mark for those courses in these schools to be higher than it is in other citadel of learning.

4. The Number of students to be admitted:
The higher the carrying capacity of a University, the more they are willingly to admit. This will increase the chance of being admitted with a relatively low score.

5. Admission Factors:
Admission factors such as Merit, Catchment and Educationally less developed States determines 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.

Jamb Score You Need:
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.

1.With a score above 250 to 280, You have a chance of being admitted to study a competitive course.
2.With a Jamb score of 200 to 250, You have a chance of getting moderately competitive course.
3.A score of 280+ should guarantee you admission to study any course.
