Official JAMB Cut Off mark for Medicine and Surgery 2025/2026

 

If you’re planning to study Medicine and Surgery in Nigeria for the 2025/2026 academic session, understanding the official JAMB cut-off mark is the first step toward securing admission. This article provides detailed information on the JAMB cut off mark for Medicine and Surgery, the scores that improve your admission chances, and how to calculate your school’s departmental aggregate score.

What Is JAMB Cut Off Mark?

The JAMB cut off mark refers to the minimum score a candidate must obtain in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to qualify for admission screening in Nigerian universities. It is used to determine eligibility for Post-UTME or other internal screening processes conducted by universities and colleges.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for Medicine and Surgery

To participate in the Post-UTME screening for Medicine and Surgery, the general JAMB cut off mark is 250. However, some universities, such as Ambrose Alli University (AAU), may accept candidates with a JAMB score of 200.

Despite this flexibility in a few institutions, most federal and state universities in Nigeria that offer Medicine and Surgery maintain a minimum requirement of 250. It is important to note that polytechnics do not offer Medicine and Surgery as a course, so JAMB cut off marks for polytechnics do not apply here.

JAMB Score That Increases Admission Chances

Although a score of 250 may qualify you for Post-UTME, it does not guarantee admission due to the competitive nature of Medicine and Surgery in Nigeria.

To significantly boost your chances of admission, a JAMB score of 280 or above is recommended. At this level, candidates are more likely to meet or exceed departmental cut off marks in most universities. A JAMB score above 280 gives you a stronger chance, with an estimated 70% likelihood of gaining admission, especially when supported by strong Post-UTME and O’Level results.

Calculating Aggregate Score for Medicine and Surgery

Different universities use various methods to calculate a candidate’s aggregate score for admission. These typically include a combination of the JAMB score, Post-UTME score, and sometimes O’Level grades.

Here are common methods used:

Method 1: JAMB and Post-UTME

  • JAMB Score ÷ 8

  • Post-UTME Score ÷ 2

  • Aggregate Score = (JAMB ÷ 8) + (Post-UTME ÷ 2)

This is common in universities like the University of Benin (UNIBEN).

Method 2: JAMB and O’Level

  • JAMB Score ÷ 8

  • O’Level results make up the remaining 50%

Used by institutions such as Ambrose Alli University (AAU).

Method 3: JAMB, Post-UTME, and O’Level

  • JAMB Score ÷ 8

  • Add 30% of Post-UTME Score

  • Add 20% of O’Level Score

  • Total = Aggregate Score

This is used by universities like the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

In all cases, the JAMB score typically carries at least 50% of the total aggregate score. Therefore, candidates aiming to study Medicine and Surgery should prioritize achieving a high JAMB score.

Conclusion

A JAMB score of 280 or above is considered competitive for Medicine and Surgery in most Nigerian universities. While some institutions may accept lower scores, candidates with scores below 200 will likely find it difficult to secure admission into this highly competitive course.

Remember, JAMB is just one part of the admission process. Your Post-UTME performance and O’Level grades are also important. To improve your chances, aim high in all areas and follow your preferred institution’s latest admission guidelines.

By staying informed and putting in the necessary effort, you can improve your chances of studying Medicine and Surgery in the 2025/2026 academic year.

Frequently Asked Questions 

 

1. Can I study Medicine and Surgery with a JAMB score of 200 in Nigeria?
While some state universities like Ambrose Alli University (AAU) may accept a JAMB score of 200, most federal and top state universities require a minimum of 250. A score of 200 gives you only a slim chance of gaining admission into Medicine and Surgery.

2. Which Nigerian university accepts the lowest JAMB score for Medicine and Surgery?
Some state universities may accept candidates with JAMB scores as low as 200, depending on the year’s competition and quota. However, top federal universities typically require 250 and above.

3. Do all universities in Nigeria use Post-UTME for Medicine and Surgery admission?
No, not all universities conduct Post-UTME. Some rely on a combination of JAMB scores and O’Level grades to determine admission eligibility, while others use all three: JAMB, Post-UTME, and O’Level.

4. How can I improve my chances of getting into Medicine with a low JAMB score?
Candidates with lower JAMB scores can improve their chances by applying to state universities with flexible cut-off policies and by performing exceptionally well in Post-UTME and O’Level exams.

5. Can I switch to Medicine and Surgery after getting admission into another course?
Some universities allow inter-departmental transfers to Medicine and Surgery, but this is highly competitive and typically requires a CGPA of 4.5 and above after the first year.

6. What subjects are compulsory for Medicine and Surgery in JAMB and O’Level?
For JAMB: English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
For O’Level: English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics – all at credit level.

7. Does any polytechnic offer Medicine and Surgery in Nigeria?
No. Polytechnics in Nigeria are not accredited to offer Medicine and Surgery. This course is only offered in approved universities.

8. How many years does it take to study Medicine and Surgery in Nigeria?
It typically takes 6 years to complete a Medicine and Surgery program in Nigerian universities, excluding internship and housemanship.
