Yes, you have a fairly good chance of gaining admission into Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) for Computer Science with a score of 166.
Here is the breakdown of why you are in a good position and what you need to do next to secure the spot:
1. The Cut-off Benchmark
For the 2025/2026 academic session, TASUED has set its general institutional cut-off mark at 160. Since you scored 166, you have officially cleared the first hurdle and are eligible to participate in the Post-UTME screening exercise.
2. Course Competition
Computer Science (B.Sc.): This is one of the most competitive courses in the College of Science and Information Technology (COSIT). While 166 makes you eligible, it is on the lower side for the pure B.Sc. Merit List.
Computer Science (B.Sc. Ed.): TASUED is a specialized University of Education. If you find the competition for the pure science degree too high, Computer Science Education is often more accessible with your score and leads to a very similar career path in tech.
3. How to Boost Your Chances
Since your JAMB score is relatively close to the cut-off, your admission will depend heavily on your Post-UTME performance and your O'Level results.
Post-UTME Screening: TASUED typically conducts an online screening or a CBT test. You must aim for a high score here to pull up your aggregate.
O'Level Requirements: Ensure you have at least 5 Credits in one sitting (or 6 in two sittings) including:
English Language
Mathematics
Physics
Chemistry
And one other Science subject (Biology or Geography).
First Choice Rule: TASUED generally prioritizes candidates who chose them as their First Choice.
