If you want to study Nursing at Nile University in 2025, this guide will help you.
The goal is to show you the JAMB cut-off mark, explain what that means, and answer common questions students ask.
What is the JAMB cut‑off mark for Nursing at Nile University?
Nile University sets different cut-off marks for different courses. It follows JAMB’s rule that all private universities should set a minimum of 140.
Nursing is in the College of Health Sciences, and health-related courses usually require higher scores.
In past years, Medicine required 200, and courses like Human Anatomy needed around 160. Nursing candidates even need at least 180 in 2024.
So for 2025, you should aim for at least 180 to match the health college’s trend.
Could the cut‑off be 140 like JAMB’s minimum?
No. While JAMB says universities can start at 140, Nile University applies a higher mark for health courses.
The 140 threshold makes you eligible to apply but does not guarantee entry.
For Nursing, 140 would not normally be enough, and the actual requirement stands much higher.
Why is Nursing so high compared to other courses?
Nursing is under the health sciences, which are limited in space. Medicine, for example, uses 200 as the cut-off, and Anatomy and Physiology both use 160.
Because Nursing shares lab work, special training, and clinical placement, demand stays strong, and the university must pick only strong candidates.
That is why the mark is likely around 180 rather than 140–160.
What was the cut‑off in earlier sessions?
In the 2022/2023 session, Nile University required:
In 2024 reports, a Nursing cut-off of 180 appeared on social media and student forums.
That matches the trend of Nursing needing more than 160. So the 2025 cut-off will probably land between 180 and 200.
Can the cut‑off drop or rise in 2025?
Yes, it can change a bit. Nile looks at how many apply, how many spaces are available, and the overall pool of students.
If many high-scoring students apply, the mark could go up. If fewer apply, it might stay just above 160.
But past shows put Nursing likely above 160 and closer to 180, so preparing for a mark in that range is safest.
If I score 160, can I get in?
If you score 160, you meet the cut-off for Anatomy or Physiology but may fall short for Nursing. Official posts and reliable sources mention 180 as the mark for Nursing.
A 160 score puts you in the game, but you might miss out unless the school decides to lower it this year.
What steps follow after meeting the cut‑off?
Passing the JAMB mark is just the first step. Next, you must:
- Apply online and upload your O’Level results.
- Sit for Nile University’s post-UTME screening.
- Show five credits at O’Level, including English, Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry.
- Score well in the Post‑UTME test—the school uses the result to choose final candidates.
Meeting the JAMB mark earns you a place in Post‑UTME. Doing well there secures admission.
How can I raise my chances in JAMB and Post‑UTME?
Start by studying recent JAMB questions in Biology, Chemistry and English. Review past post‑UTME tests from Nile or similar schools.
Time yourself doing full questions so you work faster and with more focus. If you spot weak spots, study those topics again.
Consider attending a prep class or joining a study group. These steps help you build confidence and improve scores.
