Admission Requirements for 2026/2027 Post-UTME
Before you can apply, there are basic requirements you must meet. They include:
- You must choose David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences as your first choice in JAMB
- You must score at least 150 in the 2026 UTME
- And also you must have a minimum of five credit passes in WAEC, NECO or NABTEB, including English Language and Mathematics
- Remember 16 years is the acceptable year for admission. Confirm
If you did not initially select the university, you can still apply. However, you must first complete a change of institution through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board before proceeding with your application.
IJMB Programme Option for Candidates Without JAMB
For students who did not sit for JAMB or did not get the required result, the university also offers an IJMB programme.
This programme gives candidates the chance to gain admission into 200 level through Direct Entry after successful completion. It is a good alternative for students who still want to secure admission into a health science programme without waiting for another UTME year.
Important Update for Applicants (New Information You Should Know)
One important thing many candidates often ignore is course competitiveness and subject combination alignment. Even if you meet the cut off mark, wrong subject combinations or incorrect O’level requirements can affect your admission chances.
Before applying, make sure your WAEC or NECO subjects match the exact requirement of your chosen course. Also, confirm your JAMB subject combination carefully. For example, courses like Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy are very strict and any mismatch can lead to automatic disqualification during screening. Taking a few minutes to confirm this can save you from losing your admission opportunity.
