Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
170 - 240
The general baseline JAMB UTME cut-off mark is 140. However, highly regulated Health Science programmes like Nursing and Medical Laboratory Science require significantly higher scores and early applications due to strict quotas.
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).
The university utilizes an online application process, followed by document verification of O'Level/UTME credentials and an oral discussion/interview to assess candidate readiness.
Direct Entry candidates (entering 200-Level) must possess A'Level passes (JUPEB/IJMB), ND, NCE, or HND in relevant disciplines.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at WU 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.
