Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
180 - 240
UMYU strictly enforces a tiered cut-off mark system. The baseline is 150 for Agriculture, Arts, and Education. However, competitive courses demand more: Computer Science requires 170, Law requires 190, and Medicine & Surgery (MBBS) strictly demands a minimum of 220.
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).
UMYU conducts a physical Post-UTME Aptitude Test (Computer-Based Test) for UTME candidates. Candidates must pay a ₦2,000 screening fee online and print an Examination Card detailing their exact exam time and venue. The final admission aggregate is uniquely calculated by weighting the JAMB score at 90% and the Post-UTME Aptitude Test score at 10%.
Direct Entry (DE) candidates must select UMYU as their first choice. They must possess a minimum of Lower Credit in ND/HND, Merit in NCE, or a minimum of 6 points in IJMB/A'Level qualifications. DE admission into highly competitive courses like Law or Medicine is subject to the availability of vacancies at the 200 level.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at UMYUK 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.
