National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN): You may have heard about the Open University of Nigeria. You do not require JAMB to gain admission into the Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). One advantage of an Open University is that there is nothing like a school going on strike.

The major disadvantage is that their graduates are not allowed to participate in NYSC. Though the management of the university is working to resolve this issue with the government. So hopefully soon, they will be allowed to participate in NYSC.

So if you will like to enrol in NOUN, visits their official website: http://nouedu.net/ to know the courses available and locate the closest study centre nationwide.

IJMB A-Level Programmes

IJMB which stands for Interim Joint Matriculation Board is an A’level program moderated by Ahmadu Bello University.

Does it mean that only Ahmadu Bello University accepts IJMB result for admission? No. A lot of universities accept IJMB result for admission into any course. Have you ever heard of A’level programmes?

Here’s how they work:

You apply for the programme and it usually runs for 1 year or 9 months less than a year. During the programme, you will be lectured on A’level courses (similar to 100L). 

You will write an examination based on everything you have been taught in the programme. Usually, there will be two (2) examinations – One for each semester (both semesters make up one academic session just like in Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education).

Using the result you get from the programme, you will be able to apply for 200L direct entry admission into any institution that accepts the certificate (over 97% of Federal universities and other universities accept A’level results).

The best parts about A’level programmes include:

  • You will be taught everything you will be asked in the examination unlike JAMB where you may have to read on your own.
  • IJMB result does not expire and you can keep using the same result to apply over and over unlike JAMB that expires in a year.
  • Also, admission is directly into 200L by 2021 and it is equivalent to gaining admission this year.
  • lot of schools recognize the certificate and accept it.
  • There is higher chance of gaining admission compared to JAMB UTME.

Part-time/Weekend/Evening Programmes

In Nigeria, all most all universities offer part-time degree programmes. The part-time degree programmes are just the same with full-time degree programmes (That is admission through JAMB) in terms of the certificate.

The differences are that, not all courses are offered in a part-time programme, part-time programmes take an extra year and finally, part-time graduates do not go for the National Youth Service Corps.

You must have heard of Part-time (evening) or weekend programmes. For most schools, you do not need JAMB UTME result to apply for their Part-time programme (especially the weekend programme).

You just need to meet the minimum O’level requirements for the course and you are good to go.

Mostly, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education offer these programmes.

Just find out if your school of choice offers Part-time/Weekend programme admission without JAMB.

JUPEB A’Level Programme

The Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB ) is another popular A’level examination that you can apply for to gain admission directly into 200L without JAMB. You can also say is like IJAMB

Unlike IJMB which is moderated by Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), JUPEB is moderated by University of Lagos (UNILAG) and University of Benin (UNIBEN).

In the same way, you can use your certificate to gain admission into many Federal Universities in Nigeria except the University of Ibadan (UI). The Examination is written in June every year, and results are released in August.

  • Visit the official website of any privates school using the university website address
  • Find the contact page of the school from their website
  • You should see the email address of the registrar, admission officer or any mail to inquire about admission. You may as well see the Phone number.
  • Send them a mail or call to ask if they accept candidates without JAMB results for admission, and how to go about the application process.

You can as well visit the school admission office yourself or someone reliable should ask on your behalf. I just feel that online contact will be easier.

Nkedugists advise candidate who has low JAMB score, that they can as well admit you with the score. Most likely, you will find a lot of Private universities in this category that is willing to accept your low jamb score.
