Conclusion

Meeting the criteria for getting into a Petroleum Engineering program in Nigeria, like having good scores in JAMB and post-UTME exams, doesn’t guarantee you’ll automatically get accepted.

Other things matter, too, such as meeting specific academic qualifications and how competitive the program is.

If you want a better chance of getting into a well-respected and competitive petroleum engineering program, aiming for a JAMB score of 250 or higher is advisable.

But the JAMB score needed for entry into a petroleum engineering program differs for all universities.

Some may accept a JAMB score of 200, while others require 250 or more.

For private universities in Nigeria, they might admit students into their Petroleum Engineering program with a JAMB score of 150 or more.
