Yes, you absolutely can study Industrial Chemistry with a JAMB score of 188 and those O'level results. In fact, your O'level profile is exceptionally strong for a science-based course.
​Here is a breakdown of how you stand:
​1. O'Level Analysis (Very Strong)
​Your O'level results are better than "sound"—they are excellent.
​Chemistry (A1): This is the core subject for the course. An A1 shows a high level of mastery which will help you in post-UTME and your first-year departmental courses.
​Further Maths (A1) & Maths (B2): Most science and engineering faculties value high grades in these subjects because Industrial Chemistry involves significant calculations (thermodynamics, kinetics, etc.).
​English (C6): You have met the credit requirement (C6 or better) which is the mandatory minimum for almost all Nigerian universities.
​2. JAMB Score (188)
​General Cut-off: Most Federal and State universities set their baseline cut-off at 150–160. At 188, you are well above the general minimum.
​Competitive Edge: While some "Tier 1" universities (like UI or UNILAG) might have higher aggregate requirements for competitive courses, Industrial Chemistry is often less crowded than Pharmacy or Medicine. In many schools, 188 is a very realistic score for admission, especially when backed by your strong O'levels.
