Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
180 - 240
The general baseline JAMB score to apply is 150. However, final admission is determined by aggregate score (JAMB ÷ 8 + Post-UTME ÷ 2, out of 100), not JAMB alone Medicine, Law, and Nursing require aggregates in the 80-90 range to be competitive, well above the 40-55 range needed for most other courses.
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 single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at DELSUis 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.
