Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
180 - 240
The baseline JAMB UTME cut-off is 150. However, professional tracks require strictly higher scores: Medicine & Surgery (240), Nursing Science (210), Medical Laboratory Science (180), Law (170), and Computer Science (170).
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).
Post-UTME screening is online (₦2,000 via Remita). After admission, candidates must pay the acceptance fee via the university portal only—payments directly via Remita.net are not accepted. Registration is strictly first-come, first-served.
Direct Entry (DE) candidates must be screened online. Applicants must request their previous institutions to verify 'A' Level or Diploma certificates on the JAMB portal. Candidates with Pre-Degree (PD) results must present original slips during documentation.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at EBSU 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.
