Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
170 - 240
The baseline JAMB UTME cut-off mark for AKSU is 140. However, candidates must also score highly in the mandatory Post-UTME screening test. Final admission selection is strictly based on the calculated average of the candidate's UTME and Post-UTME scores.
Use of English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Five (5) O'Level Credit passes including English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology at not more than two sittings (Note: Highly competitive federal departments frequently enforce a single-sitting rule).
AKSU utilizes a rigorous Post-UTME screening system. Candidates must register on the portal, pay the screening fee, and upload scanned copies of their JAMB result slip, O'Level results, Birth Certificate, and Certificate of Origin. Uploading O'Level results to the JAMB CAPS portal is strictly mandatory.
Direct Entry candidates must hold A' Levels, OND, HND, NCE, or a recognized JUPEB certificate. Final selection is based on a combination of the candidate's certificate grade and their score in the online Direct Entry screening.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at AKSUis assuming that hitting the university's baseline general cut-off mark ensures eligibility for the screening process. Nursing operates inside highly restrictive capacity caps mandated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN). If you score below the hard departmental minimum, your portal choice will face immediate drop filters regardless of aggregate score metrics.
