JAMB Cut Off Mark For Computer Science 2025: Requirements And Admission Tips

 

Are you aiming to study Computer Science in a Nigerian university in 2025? One of the most important steps in the admission process is understanding the JAMB cut-off mark required for your chosen course. In this article, we’ll break down the JAMB cut-off score for Computer Science, how to calculate your aggregate score, and practical tips to help you secure admission into top universities in Nigeria.

What Is the JAMB Cut-Off Mark?

The JAMB cut-off mark is the minimum score set by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board that determines a candidate’s eligibility to participate in the Post-UTME screening for a particular course. Each university sets its own departmental cut-off marks based on JAMB guidelines and internal admission policies.

JAMB Cut-Off Mark for Computer Science 2025

To qualify for Post-UTME screening into most Computer Science programs in Nigeria, the general JAMB cut-off mark is 200. However, this may vary by institution:

  • Federal and top state universities typically require 200 and above.

  • Some state universities, like Ambrose Alli University (AAU), may accept a minimum of 180.

  • Private universities may have more flexible cut-off marks, though this depends on their internal criteria. They may accept a JAMB score of 170  with a good post-UTME score.

What JAMB Score Guarantees Admission Into Computer Science?

Due to the competitive nature of Computer Science as a course, especially in top universities like UNILAG, UI, UNN, and OAU, you need more than the minimum to stand out.

Recommended JAMB Score:

  • A JAMB score of 250 and above gives you a strong chance of securing admission, especially when backed with good Post-UTME and O’Level results.

  • With a score of 250+, your admission chances increase to approximately 80%, depending on the university.

How to Calculate Your Aggregate Score for Computer Science

Each university in Nigeria has its own method for calculating a student’s aggregate admission score, which combines your JAMB score, Post-UTME, and sometimes O’Level grades.

Here are the common methods:

Method 1: JAMB + Post-UTME Only

  • JAMB score ÷ 8

  • Post-UTME score ÷ 2

  • Add both to get your total aggregate score

Method 2: JAMB + Post-UTME + O’Level

  • JAMB score ÷ 8

  • Add 30% of Post-UTME score

  • Add 20% of O’Level result

  • Total = Aggregate Score

Most universities require a departmental aggregate score of 55 and above for Computer Science.

Example:

If you score 250 in JAMB and 70 in Post-UTME:

  • 250 ÷ 8 = 31.25

  • 70 ÷ 2 = 35

  • Total Aggregate = 66.25 – A competitive score for many institutions.

Additional Admission Tips for Aspiring Computer Science Students

  • Study smart for Post-UTME: Many students score well in JAMB but fall short in the screening exam. Prepare ahead.

  • Meet the O’Level requirement: Most universities require 5 credits in relevant subjects, including Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, and one other science subject.

  • Apply to more than one institution: Consider federal, state, and private universities to improve your chances.

Conclusion

To study Computer Science in Nigeria in 2025, aim for a JAMB score of at least 250 to maximize your chances of securing admission into your desired institution. While some schools may accept scores as low as 180–200, a higher score gives you more flexibility and competitiveness, especially in top universities.

Also, remember, Post-UTME and O’Level performance play a major role in final admission decisions. By combining a high JAMB score with excellent screening and academic records, you’re setting yourself up for success in one of the most in-demand courses in Nigeria.

Frequently Asked Questions about Studying Computer Science

In Nigeria, Computer Science is typically under the Faculty of Science, not Engineering. However, some universities offer Computer Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering, which is a different course with a different JAMB subject combination.

2. What are the O’Level subjects required for Computer Science in Nigeria?
To study Computer Science, you need at least five (5) credits in your O’Level including Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Chemistry, and any other science-related subject like Biology or Economics.

3. Can I study Computer Science without Physics in JAMB?
No, most universities in Nigeria require Physics as a compulsory subject in your JAMB subject combination for Computer Science. The correct JAMB subjects are: English, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.

4. Which university is best for Computer Science in Nigeria?
Top Nigerian universities for Computer Science include:

  • University of Ibadan (UI)

  • Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU)

  • University of Lagos (UNILAG)

  • Covenant University

  • Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA)


5. How many years does it take to study Computer Science in Nigeria?

A typical Computer Science degree in Nigeria takes 4 years to complete in a university. However, if you’re entering through direct entry or transfer, it might be shortened.

6. Can I study Computer Science in a polytechnic?
Yes, many Nigerian polytechnics offer Computer Science at the ND and HND levels, and the JAMB cut-off mark is generally lower (around 120–150) compared to universities.

7. Is Computer Science a good course in Nigeria?
Yes, Computer Science is one of the most in-demand courses in Nigeria. It offers opportunities in tech, data science, software development, and cybersecurity, both locally and internationally.

8. What is the difference between Computer Science and Computer Engineering in Nigeria?
Computer Science focuses on software, algorithms, and computing systems, while Computer Engineering combines computing with hardware and electronics. They are offered in different faculties and have different admission requirements.
