Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
170 - 240
The baseline JAMB UTME cut-off mark is typically 140. However, admission into the highly competitive College of Health Sciences (e.g., Nursing, Physiotherapy, Radiography) demands significantly higher UTME scores.
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 process requires candidates to create a profile on the SMAPP portal using their JAMB Registration Number. Candidates must then email their original JAMB result, O'Level slip, and NIN slip to the Admission Officer, followed by the payment of consolidated acceptance fees to complete clearance.
Direct Entry candidates must possess an OND/HND with a minimum of Lower Credit, an NCE, or Advanced Level passes in relevant subjects. They must email their credentials directly to the Admission Officer to initiate the process.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at EUA 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.
