Admission without JAMB but JUPEB.
To study any course of your choice without passing through JAMB is simple. The whole story centered on JUPEB, it's an exam body just like JAMB. Jupeb is a one year program for candidates who doesn't want to write JAMB. Immediately after this one year program, you're being kicked up to 200-level.
Requirements to get admission into 200-level.
Getting admission is straightforward, it requires 5 credits of 0'level result, one year full time program from any Jupeb partner or affiliated university and minimum of 2 points is expected from the candidate at the end of the program.
How the program works
During the program, you just have to choose three courses according to your area of interest (just as you chose four subjects in JAMB). In short, you are not learning any very far from what you learned in your senior secondary. The difference is that this subject will be labeled as a course with code. E.g lit 001, lit 002 and so on.
At the end of the program, you will write the giant giant jupeb exam. It's not CBT base, you and your questions paper and answers booklet with CCTV cameras everywhere. Just as in JAMB, all candidates are not answering the same questions.

Nothing comes easy
Here's the shocking part, admission is guaranteed if you score a minimum of two points but the admission might not land you on your chosen course of interest. That is, if you score 2 points and you were looking for medicine, law or all those top courses, with such low points you will end up seeing yourself at level 200 on any other course you never expected. In fact, you will be placed randomly on any course. Keep in mind that the fees of this program are extremely high compared to registering for jamb. Depending on the institution, but budget nothing less than 250K as fees and also funds for your feeding.
The weight of your qualification to get your requested course is measured by points over 16. So to be sure of getting what you have in mind, you must score 16/16. It's 100% guaranteed that you will be promoted to level 200 with the exact course you applied for. 15/16 is 95% guarantee, 14/16 is 85% guarantee. Below these levels, prayers and fasting are needed every day.
However, there are other factors that impact this, such as the course you are aspiring for, the number of students who are also seeking for placement on that course and how these students can perform academically. So, where the competition is low, your chance increases. It is a direct entry program but only those who will put on the work will truly pass with joy.
