In JAMB, what is the meaning of Special Consideration (Waiver)??

It means, additional requirements for a particular course in a particular school. If your school have 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 know your desired school’s special consideration for your course. It’s NECESSARY else you might be denied admission.
