We understand that some Graduates of NCE and ND programmes with lower CGPA of say between 2.00 and below 3.00 are worried whether or not their choice university will accept them for failure to obtain upper credits in their former program. Here is a list of selected Universities that take Lower Credit for Direct Entry Admission in Nigeria.
It is worthy of mention that admission requirements into Universities in Nigeria vary from school to schools, while others accept lower credits for NCE, OND, etc., others do not. One would however get idea to which courses and institutions may accept prospective candidates with certain CGPA defects by taking a good look at the requirements for admitting students into 200L via JAMB DE.
