Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
180 - 240
The baseline JAMB cut-off mark for UNIDEL is set at 150. However, highly competitive programs such as Medicine & Surgery, Nursing, Law, and Cyber Security strictly demand scores well above 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).
UNIDEL utilizes a highly digitized online document screening via its WAeUP.Kofa portal. Candidates pay a ₦2,000 screening fee using an ATM card and upload their O'Level results, UTME result slip, and a passport photograph with a strict RED background. There is usually no physical Post-UTME exam; admission is determined by an aggregate score derived from these uploaded credentials.
Direct Entry candidates must possess a valid A'Level, ND, HND, or NCE qualification with acceptable grades. Like UTME candidates, they must make UNIDEL their first choice and apply through the UNIDEL online screening portal.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at UNIDEL 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.
