Short answer: 198 is low for Nursing in most universities.
Why?
Nursing is very competitive
Typical competitive range:
Federal universities: 240 – 270+
State universities: 220 – 250
So 198 is below the usual cut-off
Your chances
Federal schools: Very unlikely
Some state/private schools: Possible, but still competitive
What you can do
Apply to less competitive schools
Consider related courses like:
Public Health
Anatomy
Physiology
Or rewrite JAMB and aim for 240+
Honest advice
With 198, Nursing is not impossible everywhere, but your chances are low in most good universities.
If you tell me the school you want, I’ll give you a more exact answer.
