Baze University, in Abuja, has released its 2025 admission cut‑off mark for all courses. This includes the Nursing programme.
Aspiring nursing students can now confirm if their JAMB score qualifies them and prepare for the next steps, such as the post‑UTME and O’level verification.
What is the JAMB cut‑off mark required to apply for Nursing at Baze University?
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) sets a basic cut‑off, and individual universities add their threshold.
For 2025 entry, Baze University set a minimum JAMB score of 160 for all programmes, including Nursing. This means you must score at least 160 in your UTME to apply.
Is the Nursing department cut‑off different from the general cut‑off?
No. Baze University did not list different cut‑offs by department. The university made clear that all courses, including Nursing, require a minimum of 160. You just need to meet that score.
What O’level requirements do I need for Nursing at Baze University?
Every Nursing applicant must have at least five credit passes in WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB. These must include:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
All results must come from no more than two sittings. This aligns with general admission rules for health science courses.
Do I also need to apply for Baze University’s Post‑UTME?
Yes. After JAMB, Baze University requires all applicants to complete a post-UTME screening.
You can register through the Baze University portal once you meet the UTME and O’level cut‑offs.
The post‑UTME test result combines with your UTME score to determine final admission.
How do I apply for the 2025 Nursing programme at Baze University?
- Choose Baze University as your “first choice” in your JAMB profile.
- Score at least 160 in your UTME.
- Secure five credit passes in your O’level results.
- Once JAMB results are out, apply online via the Baze University portal.
- Register for the post‑UTME exam when the form is out (check Baze’s portal for the date).
- Sit for the post‑UTME and await admission decisions, which are based on combined scores.
Can I still apply if I didn’t choose Baze University first?
Yes. If you didn’t pick Baze University as your first choice in JAMB, you must change it at any JAMB-approved cyber café or office before Post‑UTME registration.
Then you can proceed with applying via the university portal.
If I score above 160, am I guaranteed admission into Nursing?
Not automatically. Scoring above 160 makes you eligible to apply and to sit the post‑UTME. Admission depends on:
- Your combined score (UTME + post‑UTME).
- Competition with other Nursing candidates.
- Space available in the Nursing programme.
So, while 160 is the minimum, higher scores give you a better chance, especially in a competitive field like Nursing.
What should I do next after checking my JAMB and O’level scores?
- If you have 160+ and the O’level credits, visit the Baze University admissions portal and apply.
- Prepare for post‑UTME: review likely exam subjects (English, Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics).
- Check your email or portal regularly for test date and result updates.
- If admitted, follow instructions to register and submit your original documents for verification.
