JAMB Cut Off Mark For Nursing

JAMB Cut Off Mark for Nursing to participate in Post UTME is 200. Some Universities may accept less, but the least any University would accept for Nursing to qualify for Post UTME is 140.

Polytechnics would have accepted a lower JAMB Score for Nursing, but unfortunately Polytechnics do not offer Nursing.

The likelihood of been admitted to study Nursing with a JAMB Score of 200 or 180 (depending on the university) is very thin, in a scale of 1 to 10, would be somewhere around 2.

The chances are low right?, that do not mean that with a Score of, let’s say 215 you cannot be admitted to study Nursing, you still can, because your JAMB Score makes up 50% of your Admission requirements.

The other 50% is from your Post UTME, O’ level or both, depending on the University’s aggregate grading system.

So, a low JAMB Score can be compensated with a high performance in Post UTME or O’ level exams (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB).

Since JAMB makes 50% of your admission requirements, certain JAMB scores can increase your chances of gaining admission to 70%…

JAMB Cut Off Mark For Nursing That Guarantees Admission

290 is a good JAMB Score to Study Nursing in any University in Nigeria.

With 270 and above as your JAMB Score, your chances of been admitted to study Nursing in any University of your Choice is Juicy (around 70%).

I will explain the reasons for this when I show you how schools calculate aggregate score for Admission shortly.

How To Calculate Your Aggregate Score For Nursing

Different Universities (Federal, State and Private) use different method to compute student’s aggregate score for admission into the department of Nursing Science…

…while some Universities use Both JAMB and Post UTME (like the University of Benin), some use JAMB and O’ level (University of AAU) while others use JAMB, Post UTME and O’ level Result *Like University of Lagos, to calculate student admission aggregate.

Irrespective of the pattern your school of choice adopts for calculating aggregate score for students, your JAMB Score will still make up 50%, your JAMB Score will be divided by 8.

Here is how your average for Nursing is calculated using your JAMB Score…

• Your JAMB Score will be divided by 8, and your Post UTME divided by 2, to give you your total average (this is only applicable for schools using Post UTME and JAMB)
• JAMB Score divided by 8, plus Post UTME 30% and O’ level 20% (for Schools using O’ level, Post UTME and JAMB)
• JAMB Score divided by 8 + O’ level making the remaining 50%

From the calculation pattern above, you will see that, your JAMB score will always carry bulk of the mark, that is why a high JAMB score is important to study competitive courses like Nursing.

If you score 290 in JAMB, dividing 290 by 8 would be 36.25, the aggregate departmental cut off mark for Nursing is usually not less than 65 for most Universities

P.S; See the differences between JAMB and school Cut off mark.

You will only need to put in moderate effort to achieve this with a JAMB score of 290.

In Conclusion

A JAMB Score of 290 and above is good enough to secure admission in any University in Nigeria to Study Nursing.
