Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
190 - 240
The general baseline is 160. However, highly competitive programs like Nursing Science, Physiotherapy, and Law strictly require a minimum JAMB score of 180 to 200+.
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).
Candidates must complete the online Application Form of the University. No admission into Redeemer’s University is possible without participation in the mandatory University screening exercise and attainment of the required standard for admission.
Direct Entry candidates must possess A-Level, JUPEB, ND/HND with a minimum of Lower/Upper Credit, or NCE with merit in relevant subjects.

The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at RUN 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.
