Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
200 - 240
The baseline UTME cut-off mark is 170. However, medical and health sciences operate on strict, highly competitive cut-offs: Human Anatomy and Physiology (200), Nursing and Radiography (210), Medical Laboratory Science (220), and Medicine & Surgery (MBBS) (230).
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).
FULafia conducts an online Post-UTME screening via its portal (fmis.fulafia.edu.ng). Candidates pay the ₦2,000 fee via Remita and verify their bio-data. Final admission relies on a calculated aggregate score (JAMB + O'Level grading). Candidates MUST upload their O'Level results to the JAMB CAPS portal to be considered.
Direct Entry candidates must choose FULafia as their first choice and possess a minimum of a Merit grade (for NCE) or a Lower Credit grade (for ND/HND) in a relevant discipline. They must also formally register for the FULafia online screening.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at FULafia 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.
