With a JAMB score of 250, you have a very high probability of securing admission for Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) at the David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences (DUFUHS), Uburu.
DUFUHS is currently one of the most accessible federal medical universities in Nigeria due to its unique admission policies. Here is the blunt breakdown of your chances:
1. The Eligibility Advantage
DUFUHS Cut-off: For the 2026/2027 session, the general JAMB cut-off for the university is remarkably low, typically set at 150.
Medicine Specifics: While most federal universities (like UNILAG or UNIBEN) require 280+ for Medicine, DUFUHS has historically considered candidates for MBBS with scores as low as 200–220, provided they perform well in the screening.
Your Score: At 250, you are 100 points above the general minimum and comfortably above the typical competitive range for this specific school.
2. The "Direct Admission" Pattern
DUFUHS operates differently from older federal universities. They focus heavily on filling their capacity with qualified candidates.
Merit List: With 250, you are almost certain to be on the first or second batch merit list, provided your O'Level results are solid.
No Post-UTME Exam: Traditionally, DUFUHS conducts an online screening/document verification rather than a rigorous CBT aptitude test. This means your JAMB score carries the most weight.
Verdict
It is almost a "guaranteed" yes. Compared to other federal medical schools, a 250 at DUFUHS makes you a high-ranking candidate. You are in a much safer position here than you would be at a school like UNN or UI with the same score.
