2. IJMB A’Level Programme

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 few months less than a year.

IJMB runs for 9 months.

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, Polytecnics 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 2023 and it is equivalent to gaining admission this year.
• A lot of schools recognize the certificate and accept it.
• There is higher chance of gaining admission compared to JAMB UTME.

In one of my previous guides, We listed at least 6 reasons why IJMB is better than JAMB, read it here.

You will also find the list of schools that accept IJMB for admission.

4. Cambridge A’Level Programme

Just for the fact, this is the only A’level programme certificate/result that is currently accepted by the University of Ibadan.

So, if you have plans to gain admission directly into 200L in UI, Cambridge A’level is what you should be consider.

The Cambridge International General Certificate of Education: Advanced Level (formally also known as the University of Cambridge International General Certificate of Education: Advanced Level ; informally also known as International (GCE) A-Level(s), Cambridge (GCE) A-Level(s) or Cambridge International AS and A Level) is an international school-leaving qualification for admission into universities worldwide including the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, Harvard, Stanford and all Ivy League institutions.

Source: Wikipedia.

In order words, you can use the Cambridge A’level certificate to study both in Nigeria and abroad.

To register for Cambridge A’level examination, you must either:

• Attend a Cambridge school
• Register as a Private candidate in one of the schools that accept external candidate

To check the Cambridge schools around you and those that accept Private (external) candidate, click here.

5. Private Universities

There are some private universities in Nigeria that admit candidates without JAMB result.

In order to find these schools, here’s what you should do:

• Visit the official website of the school (should like like www.unilag.edu.ng – it should end in .edu.ng)
• 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 result 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 the online contact will be easier (although my be slower and you may not even get a reply).

PS: For those who have low JAMB score, they can as well admit you with the score.

Most likely, you will find a lot of Private universities in this category

6. Part-time, Evening or Weekend Programmes

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.

You can use any of the contact methods We stated above too.

Hope that helps, let’s move on.

7. Pre-Degree Programme

Pre-degree programme is a bit similar to A’level programmes.

The main difference is that you will be taught mainly O’level course contents instead of A’level.

Also, you can only use your pre-degree programme in the school where you register and attend the programme.

Not all schools offer PD programme (UI does not offer Pre-degree programme, OAU and many other school does).

You will definitely gain admission once you can do well in the final pre-degree examination.

8. Diploma Programmes

The diploma programme is usually a two-years programme, that runs like the norman Undergraduate programme.

Upon completion of the programme, candidates who have a required minimum Cummulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will gain admission into the regular programme as Direct entry (i.e into 200L).

It is usually a weekend programme and lectures will hold on Fridays and Saturdays.

Anyway, head over to the official website of the school you intend to apply for and check out if they offer Diploma programme.

Read the courses available, requirements and how to apply.

9. Study Abroad

Studying abroad is another alternative you might want to consider if you intend to study without JAMB in 2023.

Popular locations like Canada, Russia, USA, UK frequently accept international applicants and you should check their requirements out:

Usually, you will need to have passed exams like:

• Cambridge A’level
• GMAT
• SAT
• TOEFL

If you do not know anything about studying abroad, contact me. I know a trusted friend that does it.

So, that’s it for now.

I believe all the methods We have mentioned in the post can help you gain admission without JAMB result or will low JAMB score in 2023.
