With 228 jamb score can I study nursing at EBSU??
Congratulations you have a chance, since your score is above the cut-off mark. But JAMB score is not the only parameter considered. Some schools look at SSCE grade, POST UTME score, catchment area, and other factors. So it’s not only JAMB score that is considered.
