Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
170 - 240
The baseline JAMB UTME cut-off is 140. However, elite and highly regulated programmes like Medicine & Surgery, Nursing Science, Pharmacy, Radiography, and Law demand significantly higher competitive scores.
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 screening process is document-based via their online portal. Applicants must complete the application form, upload O'Level/UTME results, and undergo departmental verification.
Direct Entry candidates (entering 200-Level) must possess at least two A'Level passes (JUPEB, IJMB, GCE A/L) or a Lower Credit/Merit in a relevant ND, NCE, or HND.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at WUSTO 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.
