A candidate whose score is below the approved mark for the chosen course may consider another course, subject to the available admission options and the required procedure.
Candidates may also check cut-off marks for other schools when comparing available choices.

Admission will still depend on the Post-UTME process and other checks that apply to the admission exercise.
Why Should Candidates Act Early?
Candidates should monitor the Post-UTME notice and prepare their documents early, since the admission process may move quickly once the form is available.
A candidate who waits until the closing period may face pressure with payment, upload, printing or document checks.
