Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
170 - 240
The baseline UTME cut-off is 140 for foundational programmes. However, highly regulated professional courses like Law (LLB) and Nursing Science (BNSc) demand significantly higher scores and early application.
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 screening involves verification of scanned credentials (UTME result, O'Level results, birth certificate) and an interactive session. Applications can be completed online after paying the ₦25,000 registration fee at designated banks.
Holders of JUPEB, IJMB, A-Level, ND, or NCE qualify for 200 Level entry. Candidates must apply through the JAMB DE portal and complete the university's internal screening process.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at UNICHRIS 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.
