Can I Study Nursing Without Jamb?
Yes, you can. This is one of the most frequently asked questions by aspirants who wish to study nursing science but are unsure if they can do that without writing Jamb. JAMB, The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board is a body that oversees and regulates the admission processes into several institutions in line with NUC.
To answer your question more elaborately, public nursing schools (offering a 3-year RN/RM nursing program) in Nigeria DO NOT require JAMB in their admission process. However, universities and colleges of nursing require JAMB for admissions.
In this article, we’ll show you the schools that require the JAMB and those that do not. Federal and State universities require a high JAMB score (usually 250 to 300) for nursing admission. Colleges and private nursing schools may admit aspirants with lower scores (as low as 150).
