Here’s a clear breakdown of the requirements and cut-off marks for studying Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) in Nigerian universities:
1. JAMB/UTME Requirements (Subject Combination)
You need four UTME subjects:
English Language (compulsory)
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
This combination is required by almost all Nigerian universities offering Medicine.
2. O’Level Requirements (WAEC/NECO)
You must have credit passes in at least five subjects, including:
English Language
Mathematics
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Most universities prefer all five credits in one sitting, but some accept two sittings.
3. Post-UTME / Screening
After JAMB, universities usually conduct a Post-UTME screening.
Your admission is based on an aggregate of JAMB + Post-UTME + sometimes O’Level performance
