Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
210 - 240
The baseline cutoff mark to apply for the UNIABUJA Post-UTME screening is 180. However, highly competitive programs such as Medicine & Surgery, Law, and Nursing Science require minimum aggregates well above 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).
UNIABUJA typically conducts an online Post-UTME screening exercise where candidates upload their O'Level and UTME results for grading. Ensure your O'Level results are also correctly uploaded to JAMB CAPS, as failure to do so will result in automatic disqualification.
Direct Entry candidates must choose UNIABUJA as their first choice. They must possess at least two (2) 'A' Level passes or their equivalent, in addition to meeting the basic requirement of five (5) O'Level credit passes (including English and Mathematics).
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at UNIABUJA 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.
