The short answer is yes, a JAMB score of 252 is a very strong starting point, but it is not a 100% guarantee for Nursing at the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN).
​To give you the best picture of your chances, here is a breakdown of how UNILORIN handles Nursing admissions:
​1. Meeting the Cut-off Mark
​UNILORIN generally sets a minimum university-wide cut-off (usually 180 or 200), but competitive courses like Nursing require much higher scores. Traditionally, a score of 240–250+ puts you in the "consideration zone." With 252, you have successfully cleared the first major hurdle.
​2. The Post-UTME Factor
​UNILORIN is famous for its Post-UTME screening, which usually consists of a 50-question computer-based test (CBT). Your final admission chance is based on an aggregate score (a combination of your JAMB score, Post-UTME score, and sometimes O'Level grades).
​The Goal: Because Nursing is extremely competitive, you should aim for a high Post-UTME score (at least 70/100) to keep your aggregate high.
​3. Catchment Area and ELDS
​Your state of origin matters. If you are from Kwara State (Catchment) or an Educationally Less Developed State (ELDS), the required aggregate score might be slightly lower than for candidates from the "Merit" category.
​4. Important Requirements
​O'Level: You must have at least five credits in English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in one sitting.
​Subject Combination: Your JAMB subjects must have been English, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
​The Verdict
​You are in a great position. A 252 is well above the average, but you cannot afford to relax. Focus intensely on the UNILORIN Post-UTME; if you score very well there, you have a very high probability of seeing your name on that admission list.
