If you dream of becoming a medical doctor at Nile University in 2025, this article is for you.
You will find out the JAMB cut‑off mark, why it matters, and what steps to take next.
What is the JAMB cut‑off mark for Medicine & Surgery at Nile University?
Nile University set the JAMB cut‑off mark for Medicine & Surgery (MBBS) at 200 for this year’s admission.
That means to be eligible for MBBS in 2025, you need at least 200 marks in your JAMB UTME.
Is 200 the usual mark every year?
Yes, that number comes up each year for similar programs. In 2022 and 2023, Nile University’s MBBS cut‑off was also 200.
The aim is to pick students who already show strong results since Medicine is highly demanding. It is unlikely to drop much unless something big changes.
Can I apply with a lower JAMB score like 180?
No. A score of 180 is below the cut‑off of 200. That means you may not qualify for the Post‑UTME screening for MBBS.
Any mark under 200 won’t meet Nile’s requirement for Medicine, even if you meet the minimum 140 JAMB rule.
Why is Medicine’s cut‑off so high?
Medicine and Surgery is one of the most competitive courses in Nigeria. It involves complex training, long study hours, and heavy investment in labs and teaching.
Nile University follows a pattern seen at other schools: pick only students with strong academic backgrounds.
The goal is to admit those likely to succeed in that demanding field.
Does a score of 200 guarantee admission?
Scoring 200 gets you into the pool for post-UTME screening. But it does not automatically give you a seat. You still need to:
- Provide five O’Level credits (WAEC or NECO) including English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
- Sit for and perform well in Nile University’s post-UTME test.
- Meet other requirements like age, screening guidelines, and health checks.
Together, these steps decide who gets an offer.
Can the cut‑off rise above 200?
Yes, it could rise slightly. Nile sets 200 as the strict minimum, but the actual threshold depends on how many candidates apply and how many spaces they can fill.
If they get many high‑scoring candidates, they may raise the actual entry line. But for now, 200 remains the official cut‑off for 2025.
What steps come after meeting the 200‑mark?
Here is the path after scoring 200 or more:
- Visit the Nile University portal to apply and submit O’Level results.
- Sit for the post-UTME or direct entry screening.
- Await admission decision based on your combined JAMB and Post‑UTME score.
- If accepted, complete online acceptance and pay your school fees.
These steps determine your final admission into the MBBS program.
How can I improve my chances beyond just scoring 200?
Start by reviewing past JAMB questions in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English. Focus on weak topics from earlier practice.
Practice full-timed tests to build speed and accuracy. Before the interview, read up on current health topics and improvements in Nigerian healthcare.
Then, during post‑UTME, present yourself well, show confidence, and stay honest in your answers.
If you want to study Medicine and Surgery at Nile University in 2025, aim for a JAMB score of at least 200.
That score opens the door to post-UTME and final screening.
Beyond JAMB, you need solid O’Level grades and good performance in the screening exercise.
