Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
240 - 260
While the baseline cutoff is 150, AE-FUNAI operates strict departmental cut-offs. Medicine & Surgery and Law require a minimum of 220; Nursing Science is 200; Mass Communication, Anatomy, and Medical Laboratory Science require 180.
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).
AE-FUNAI conducts an online Post-UTME screening. Admission is determined by a calculated aggregate combining the candidate's JAMB score and their performance in the O'Level/Post-UTME assessment.
For admission to 200 Level (Direct Entry), candidates must possess at least two A'Level (or equivalent) passes in relevant subjects, an NCE or OND with credit passes, or a good first degree in another field, in addition to meeting the standard five SSCE credit passes.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at FUNAI is 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.
