Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
180 - 240
The baseline cutoff mark is 150. Highly competitive programs like Pharmacy, Law, and Nursing typically require 200+. Note: The Faculty of Clinical Sciences does not admit students directly from JAMB; students are first admitted into the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences and transition to Clinicals at the 300 Level after passing their Part I MBBS (2nd MB).
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).
UNIUYO conducts a mandatory Online Admission Screening Exercise. Candidates are evaluated based on a Point Grading System combining their UTME score and O'Level grades. It is strictly required that candidates upload their O'Level results to JAMB CAPS.
Direct Entry candidates must choose UNIUYO as their first choice. Acceptable qualifications include at least two A-Level passes, an OND/HND at Upper or Lower Credit level, an NCE with a minimum of Merit, or a recognized Bachelor's degree. For Law, DE candidates are admitted into Year 2 of the 5-year programme. For MBBS DE, candidates specifically need A-Level passes in Chemistry, Physics, and Biology/Zoology, OR a good class degree in the Sciences.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at UNIUYO 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.
