Scored 152 in JAMB and planning to apply to Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma? You can still apply for several courses at the university.
For the 2026/2027 academic session, AAU has approved a JAMB score of 152 and above for a number of undergraduate programmes. However, courses such as Nursing, Computer Science, Microbiology, Mass Communication, Law and some Engineering programmes have higher requirements.

Can I Study Engineering in AAU With 152?
Yes, but not every Engineering course.
A JAMB score of 152 meets the published requirement for:
- Industrial and Production Engineering
- Materials and Metallurgical Engineering
- Agricultural and Bio-resources Engineering
For Civil Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, AAU requires 160 and above.
If you scored exactly 152 and your preferred Engineering course requires 160, you should not assume that the 152 score will be accepted for that programme.
Can I Study Computer Science in AAU With 152?
No.
AAU has set the 2026/2027 JAMB score for Computer Science at 180 and above.
Therefore, a candidate who scored 152 does not meet the published JAMB score for Computer Science at AAU.
A candidate interested in computing who scored 152 could instead look at Computer Science Education, which has a published JAMB score of 152 and above.
Can I Study Nursing in AAU With 152?
No.
AAU has set the JAMB score for Nursing Science at 190 and above for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.
A score of 152 therefore does not meet the published Nursing requirement.
Can I Study Medicine and Surgery With 152?
AAU’s 2026/2027 departmental table does not state a JAMB score for Medicine and Surgery. The MBBS row is left blank in the JAMB score column.
Candidates who scored 152 should therefore not assume that 152 qualifies them for Medicine and Surgery. Medicine is highly competitive, and candidates interested in the course should aim for a much higher JAMB score.
Can I Study Law With 152 in AAU?
No.
Law has one of the highest published JAMB requirements at AAU for the 2026/2027 session.
The university has listed 260 and above for Law.
A candidate with 152 does not meet the published JAMB requirement for the programme.
Can I Study Accounting With 152?
No, not Accounting under Management Sciences.
AAU requires 160 and above for Accounting.
However, Accounting Education is listed under Education with a JAMB requirement of 152 and above.
This distinction is important because Accounting and Accounting Education are different programmes.
Can I Study Mass Communication With 152?
No.
AAU has set the JAMB score for Mass Communication at 200 and above for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.
Candidates who scored 152 do not meet the published requirement for Mass Communication.
Is 152 a Good JAMB Score for AAU?
A score of 152 is enough to meet the published JAMB requirement for many AAU courses, but candidates should remember that meeting the minimum score does not automatically mean admission is guaranteed.
If you scored 152 and are applying to AAU, choose a course whose published requirement is 152 and make sure you also meet the required O’Level subjects and other admission conditions.
Candidates with scores higher than 152 should also consider their options carefully rather than limiting themselves to the 152-level courses.
For example:
- 152: Several Arts, Education, Agriculture, Environmental, Physical Science and Social Science courses
- 160: Adds courses such as Accounting, Biochemistry, Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Anatomy and Political Science
- 168: Theatre and Media Arts
- 172: Business Administration
- 180: Computer Science and Microbiology
- 190: Nursing Science
- 200: Mass Communication
- 260: Law
These are the JAMB scores published by AAU for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.
Final Advice for Candidates With 152
If you scored 152 in JAMB, you still have a good number of AAU courses to consider.
The important thing is to apply for a programme that matches your score. Do not select Law, Nursing, Computer Science, Mass Communication or another programme requiring a higher score simply because AAU’s general minimum is 152.
Also, if you are yet to write JAMB and are targeting AAU, do not aim for exactly 152. Try to score as high as possible. A higher JAMB score gives you more course options and puts you in a better position when choosing your preferred programme.
AAU’s 2026/2027 admission notice also states that its cut-off marks are based strictly on the candidate’s JAMB score and that there will be no Post-UTME screening exercise.
