Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
180 - 240
The baseline JAMB UTME cut-off mark is 150. However, specific professional programs demand higher scores: Architecture & Economics (160); Medical Lab Science, Public Health, & Optometry (170); Computer Science & Nursing (180); Pharmacy (200); and Medicine & Surgery and Law (220).
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).
Bingham University conducts a mandatory physical screening exercise at the Main Campus. Candidates pay a ₦2,000 fee via Remita. Crucially, they MUST download, print, and bring specific online forms to the screening: Character Assessment Form, Applicant's Confidential Report, Guidance and Counseling Form, and the UTME/DE Screening Assessment Form.
Direct Entry candidates must have completed the JAMB DE form, obtained 5 O'Level credits, and possess an A-Level result (IJMB, NCE, National Diploma with a minimum of Lower Credit, or Cambridge A/Levels).
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at Bingham 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.
