With a JAMB score of 256, you are in a very strong position for Law at Benue State University (BSU), now officially renamed Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu University (MOAUM).
​Here is a detailed breakdown of your chances, the CRS issue, and your next steps:
​1. Your Admission Chances
​For the 2025/2026 session, BSUM set a strict tiered cut-off system. While the general cut-off is 160, Law (LL.B) requires a minimum of 220.
​Your Advantage: At 256, you are 36 points above the baseline requirement. This places you comfortably in the competitive range for the merit list, provided your Post-UTME performance is solid.
​The Catch: Law is the most competitive course in the Faculty of Arts/Law. BSUM often uses an aggregate system that combines JAMB, Post-UTME, and O'Level points.
​2. The CRS O'Level Issue
​You mentioned a "slight issue" with Christian Religious Studies (CRS) in your NECO result. Here is how that affects you:
​Is it a Core Requirement? For Law, the core compulsory O'Level subjects are usually English Language, Literature-in-English, and Mathematics.
​The 5-Credit Rule: You need a total of 5 credits in relevant subjects. If you have credits in English, Literature, Maths, and two other Arts/Social Science subjects (like Government, Economics, or History), you can still qualify even if you failed CRS.
​When it matters: If you are using CRS as one of your "core 5" to meet the requirement, you must have at least a C6. If you have a D7 or below and don't have another subject to replace it, you may face disqualification during screening.
