The likelihood of been admitted to study accounting with a JAMB Score of 200 or 180 (depending on the university) is very thin, in a scale of 1 to 10, would be somewhere around 2.
The chances are low right?, that do not mean that with a Score of, let’s say 215 you cannot be admitted to study accounting, you still can, because your JAMB Score only make up 50% of your Admission requirements.
The other 50% is from your Post UTME, O’ level or both, depending on the University’s aggregate grading system.

250 is a good JAMB Score to Study Accounting in any University in Nigeria.
With 250 and above as your JAMB Score, your chances of been admitted to study Accounting in any University of your Choice is Juicy (around 70%)
I will explain the reasons for this when I show you how schools calculate aggregate score for Admission shortly.
How To Calculate Your Aggregate Score For Accounting
Different Universities (Federal, State and Private) use different method to compute student’s aggregate score for admission into the department of Accounting/Accountancy…
…while some Universities use Both JAMB and Post UTME (like the University of Benin), some use JAMB and O’ level (University of AAU) while others use JAMB, Post UTME and O’ level Result *Like University of Lagos, to calculate student admission aggregate.
Irrespective of the pattern your school of choice adopts for calculating aggregate score for students, your JAMB Score will still make up 50%, your score in JAMB will be divided by 8.
Here is how your average for Accounting is calculated using your JAMB Score…
- JAMB Score will be divided by 8, and your Post UTME divided by 2, to give you your total average (this is only applicable for schools using Post UTME and JAMB)
- JAMB Score divided by 8, plus Post UTME 30% and O’ level 20% (for Schools using O’ level, Post UTME and JAMB)
- JAMB Score divided by 8 + O’ level making the remaining 50%
From the calculation pattern above, you will see that, your JAMB score will always carry bulk of the mark, that is why a high JAMB score is important to study competitive courses like Accounting.
If you score 250 in JAMB, dividing 270 by 8 would be 31.25, the departmental cut off mark for Accounting is usually not less than 60 for most Universities
P.S; See the differences between JAMB and school Cut off mark.
You will only need to put in moderate effort to achieve this with a JAMB score of 250.
