Yes, Bayelsa Medical University (BMU) accepts WAEC GCE results for admission into Medicine and Surgery (MBBS).
​In fact, BMU is quite flexible with O'Level requirements compared to some other medical schools. Here is the specific breakdown for the 2026/2027 academic session:
​1. Acceptance of GCE and Multiple Sittings
​WAEC GCE is accepted: BMU accepts any equivalent Senior Secondary Certificate (SSCE), including WAEC, NECO, and NABTEB (both May/June and GCE versions).
​Two Sittings Allowed: Unlike some universities that insist on a single sitting for Medicine, BMU allows you to combine results from not more than two sittings. This means you can use your WAEC GCE to supplement another result or use it on its own.
​2. Core Subject Requirements
​To be eligible, you must have a minimum of a C6 (Credit) in the following five subjects:
​English Language
​Mathematics
​Biology
​Chemistry
​Physics
​3. JAMB Cut-off Mark for Medicine
​While you have the right O'Level results, remember that Medicine is highly competitive at BMU. For the 2026/2027 session, the expected departmental cut-off for Medicine and Surgery is 275. Candidates who score below this may be advised to change to other programs like anatomy or physiology.
