In JAMB, what is the meaning of Special Consideration (Waiver)??
It means, an additional requirement for a particular course in a particular school. If your school has a special consideration for either O’level Requirement, UTME Subject Combination, or Direct Entry Requirement, then please take note of it.
Note sometimes in the special consideration column, the school requirement might be slightly different from the general requirement.
We advise you to always check if your school of choice has a different requirement in the special consideration column.
