💡 Pro Tip: To gain admission into AE-FUNAI, making the institution your first choice is absolutely mandatory. While the general cut-off mark is 150, competitive programs like Medicine, Law, and Nursing require scores well above 200. Direct Entry applicants should note that a good first degree, NCE, or OND with credit passes makes them eligible for 200-level admission. Ensure you prepare thoroughly for the Post-UTME screening, which plays a major role in the final aggregate.
For admission to 200 Level (Direct Entry), candidates must possess at least two A'Level (or equivalent) passes in relevant subjects, an NCE or OND with credit passes, or a good first degree in another field, in addition to meeting the standard five SSCE credit passes.
AE-FUNAI conducts an online Post-UTME screening. Admission is determined by a calculated aggregate combining the candidate's JAMB score and their performance in the O'Level/Post-UTME assessment.
