JAMB: Federal, State varsities with high acceptance rate for change of institution

If your JAMB score falls between 140 and 180, don’t lose hope..You still have a strong chance of gaining admission into a Nigerian university. One of the most strategic moves you can make is to take advantage of the JAMB Change of Institution option.

This option allows you to switch from a university with a high cut-off mark to one with a lower or more flexible cut-off.
