Top Nursing Schools in Nigeria That Don’t Need JAMB for Admission in 2025
Are you a student hoping to study nursing in Nigeria but don’t have a JAMB score? Don’t worry — many accredited nursing institutions still offer admission without requiring JAMB results.
Nursing schools in Nigeria are professional training centers that prepare science students for careers in healthcare. These programs usually last three years and offer certificates, while some schools now run ND and HND programs, which take about two and four years.
Recently, more nursing colleges have started asking for JAMB scores — usually with a cut-off of 160 and above. But not all of them do.
To help you, we’ve made a full list of approved schools of nursing in Nigeria that don’t need JAMB for 2025 admissions.
