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. Many federal and state universities accept students through this route and are known for having high acceptance rates for candidates who make them their new choice during the change of institution process.
