The short answer is yes, absolutely! You can apply to the Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences, Abeokuta (FUMMSA) for both Radiography and Pharmacy, and your JAMB score of 218 makes you eligible to try.
​Since FUMMSA is a relatively new specialized medical university, it often slips under the radar on some drop-down lists, so it makes total sense that you chose a university of agriculture as a temporary placeholder!
​Here is exactly how your score of 218 stacks up and what your chances look like for both courses:
​1. FUMMSA General Eligibility
​The Minimum Cut-Off: FUMMSA has set its official minimum JAMB cut-off mark at 200. Since you scored 218, you have cleared the baseline hurdle required to apply for their courses.
​O'Level Catch: For competitive professional courses like Pharmacy and Radiography, FUMMSA strictly requires you to have passed your 5 core O'Level subjects (English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) in only one sitting.
​2. Assessing Your Chances (Pharmacy vs. Radiography)
​While 218 gets you into the competitive pool, your chances vary slightly between the two fields because of demand:
​Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D): This is one of the highest-demand courses at any medical institution. A score of 218 is a decent fighting chance, but it is on the lower side for Pharmacy. To secure an admission spot here, you will need to perform exceptionally well in the FUMMSA Post-UTME screening to boost your aggregate score.
​Radiography (B.Rad): This is also competitive, but generally has slightly less intense competition compared to Pharmacy. Your 218 puts you in a much stronger position for Radiography.
​What You Need to Do Next
​Because you chose another university during your initial registration, you need to fix your paperwork so FUMMSA can actually see your profile.
​Perform a JAMB Change of Institution: Go to a JAMB CBT centre or log into your JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) portal and switch your first-choice institution to Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences, Abeokuta (FUMMSA).
​Select Your Preferred Course: While doing the change of institution, pick either Radiography or Pharmacy as your primary choice.
Wait for the Post-UTME admission form for to be released and send in your application.
