Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
170 - 240
Caritas University offers an exceptionally accessible cut-off structure. The baseline JAMB UTME cut-off mark is 140 for ALL programs, notably including highly competitive medical courses such as Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science, and Radiography.
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).
Caritas University is renowned for a stress-free admission process. The university does NOT conduct a formal CBT Post-UTME exam. Admission is granted based on a credential screening of the candidate's O'Level and JAMB results. Application fee waivers or discounts may be available for early applicants or candidates demonstrating financial hardship/academic excellence.
Direct Entry candidates must possess the JAMB DE form and hold an A-Level certificate, NCE, or a National Diploma (ND) with a minimum of Lower/Upper Credit in relevant fields to be admitted into 200 Level.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at Caritas 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.
