    1. Requirement differs for the different departments, so the requirement for transfer to Pharmacy will likely not be the same for transfer to Nursing. To confirm this, should visit the school’s Exams and record where Inter/intra faculty transfer is handled

  1. Good evening please can a BSc (Ed) health education graduate gain admission to study medicine and surgery in Uniben as direct entry applicants

  2. Thanks for the update. It was so explicit I appreciate that. My daughter scored 218 in her JAMB she is 16 and really want to be admitted in UNIBEN and looking at option of JUPEB can she be eligible for the program. Thanks for your prompt response.

  3. Someone who score 215 in jamb and 77 in POSTUTME and the person is from the cashment area can the person still study medicine and surgery in uniben

    1. 77 in post UTME is a pretty good Post UTME score for Medicine, but since cumulatively the students do not score up to the aggregate, his or admission cannot be though merit list
