Every year, students across Nigeria wait eagerly for the cut-off marks of their chosen universities.
For those aiming to study Nursing at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) in 2025, knowing the required score is very important.
The cut-off mark shows the lowest UTME score that makes a candidate eligible for Post-UTME screening.
What is the JAMB cut-off mark for Nursing at UNIABUJA?
The cut-off mark set by JAMB for all courses at Federal Universities like UNIABUJA is 180. This is the minimum score needed to qualify for any course, including Nursing.
Has UNIABUJA announced any course-specific cut-off mark for Nursing?
UNIABUJA uses departmental cut-off marks, which are often set higher than the general JAMB mark.
As of now, UNIABUJA has not publicly released its specific cut-off mark for Nursing for the 2025/2026 session.
What are UNIABUJA’s general requirements for 2025 admission?
According to the official UNIABUJA website:
- You must have five O’Level credit passes, including English and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings.
- You need the UTME/JAMB score (minimum 180) and also pass the Post-UTME screening .
What score is needed to study Nursing in Nigerian universities?
Based on common trends:
- JAMB sets a baseline of 180.
- Some universities set higher scores internally—many between 180 and 200, even as high as 250 for top institutions.
- For Nursing at many universities, aiming for 200 or above increases your chance.
In summary, while JAMB gives you the first key (180), your actual score should ideally be around 200+ to be safe, especially if UNIABUJA follows the trend.
Will a score of 180 in JAMB guarantee admission into UNIABUJA Nursing?
No. A score of 180 only makes you eligible for Post-UTME. It does not guarantee admission. You must:
- Score above the departmental cut-off (once announced).
- Do well in the Post-UTME and any screening tests.
- Meet O’Level requirements.
If Nursing is competitive, the lowest admitted score will likely be higher than 180.
Why does UNIABUJA set a general cut-off mark?
The general JAMB cut-off (180) is the national standard. Every federal university must use it as the minimum to screen candidates.
However, departments add their own mark based on demand, space, and competition.
When will the Nursing departmental cut-off for 2025 be released?
There is no set public date. UNIABUJA usually publishes departmental cut-off marks alongside its Post-UTME screening announcement, which could come:
- After JAMB publishes results.
- Just before screening starts.
