Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
190 - 240
The baseline UTME score required to purchase the Post-UTME screening form is 160. However, FUOYE utilizes a highly competitive aggregate scoring system. Premium courses such as Medicine & Surgery (MBBS), Law, Pharmacy (Pharm.D), and Nursing require exceptionally high aggregate scores to secure merit admission.
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).
FUOYE utilizes a comprehensive online point-based screening system rather than a physical CBT exam. Candidates must pay a ₦2,000 screening fee, complete their profile using their JAMB Registration Number, verify their email, and upload their O'Level results to the university portal. Uploading O'Level results to the JAMB CAPS portal is also strictly mandatory.
Direct Entry candidates must possess at least two (2) A' Level (or equivalent) Credit passes in relevant subjects, an ND at Upper Credit, an NCE with a Credit Pass, an HND with a minimum of Lower Credit, or a good first degree in another field. Inter-University Transfer applicants must pay a ₦150,000 transfer fee and ensure their official transcripts are mailed directly to the Registrar.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at FUOYE 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.
