Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
170 - 240
A baseline of 140 is historically required for most foundational programs. However, highly competitive programs like Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science, and Law typically require much higher 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).
The admission process utilizes physical and online verification of credentials. Candidates must apply in person at the University or through the portal.
Direct Entry candidates must possess ND/HND, NCE, or at least two A'Level passes in relevant subjects, in addition to meeting the standard 5 O'Level credit requirements obtained in not more than two sittings.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at AJU 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.
