JAMB Cut-Off Mark for Statistics

If you are planning to study Statistics, your JAMB score is one of the things you need to pay attention to. Getting the required score is important because your JAMB result will be considered when you apply for admission.

JAMB has a general minimum cut-off mark for university admission, but that does not mean every candidate who meets it will be able to study Statistics. Universities may have their own requirements, especially for competitive courses like Statistics.

In this post, we will look at the JAMB cut-off mark for Statistics and what you should aim for as a candidate. We will also cover the JAMB subject combination, O’Level requirements, Direct Entry requirements, and the universities where you can study Statistics.

JAMB Cut-Off Mark for Statistics

JAMB has set 150 as the minimum cut-off mark for candidates seeking admission into universities. However, scoring 150 does not guarantee admission to study Statistics.

Statistics is offered by several universities, and some schools may require candidates to score higher before they can be considered for admission. This is why candidates should not aim for the minimum score alone.

If you are serious about studying Statistics, it is better to target a JAMB score of 200 or above. A good score can give you a stronger chance when your university considers your JAMB result alongside your Post-UTME performance and other requirements.
