JAMB 2025: Can I Study Nursing at UNIZIK with 270? Here’s What You Should Know

A JAMB candidate, Sin Thia, reached out to ask a common and important question many students are currently asking:

“Is UNIZIK accepting 270 for Nursing?”

The answer depends on a few key things, but let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand.

Is 270 a Good Score for Nursing at UNIZIK?

Yes, 270 is a strong score — especially for a competitive course like Nursing. However, Nursing is one of the most sought-after courses at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), and the competition is very high.

In recent years, the cut-off mark for Nursing at UNIZIK has ranged between 270 and 290, depending on the number of available slots and how many students scored high in that particular year.

Will You Be Admitted with 270?

With 270, your chances are fair to good, especially if:

• You chose UNIZIK as your first choice.
• You performed well in your O’level results (WAEC/NECO) with at least five credits in relevant subjects including English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
• You score well in your Post-UTME, if the school conducts one this year.

It’s important to note that UNIZIK usually ranks candidates based on aggregate scores (UTME + Post-UTME + O’Level grades). So even if 270 is good, your total performance across all areas will be used to decide.

What You Should Do Next

• Keep checking official UNIZIK announcements for the departmental cut-off marks.
• Prepare ahead for Post-UTME, if they decide to conduct one.
• Make sure your O’level result is uploaded on JAMB CAPS.
• Keep your eyes on updates from JAMB and UNIZIK.
