FUMMSA Cut Off Mark 2026/2027 Academic Session

Getting a good JAMB score feels like a big win, but it doesn't always guarantee admission, especially if you're aiming for a medical university. The next thing you need to know is whether your score meets the cut off mark for your preferred course.

If you've chosen the Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences, Abeokuta (FUMMSA), understanding the admission cut off marks can help you know where you stand before the Post UTME screening begins. Some programmes are far more competitive than others, so knowing the requirements early gives you time to plan your next move.

You will find the official JAMB cut off mark, departmental requirements, how FUMMSA calculates its aggregate score, and other important admission details for the 2026/2027 academic session below.

FUMMSA Cut Off Mark 2026/2027 Session

The Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences, Abeokuta has set 200 as the minimum JAMB score for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.

This means you must score at least 200 in the 2026 UTME and choose FUMMSA as your first choice institution before you can participate in the university's Post UTME screening.

Scoring 200 only makes you eligible for the screening. Admission into many courses depends on higher departmental requirements and your overall aggregate score.

FUMMSA JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

FUMMSA Departmental Cut Off Marks

Although the minimum JAMB score is 200, some professional programmes require much higher UTME scores before applicants can proceed.

The current departmental JAMB requirements are:

If you applied for any of the courses above but scored below the required UTME score, "Ineligible" will appear on your Post UTME screening slip, meaning you will not be considered for admission into that programme.

Expected Aggregate Cut Off Marks

Admission into FUMMSA is based on your aggregate score rather than your UTME score alone.

Below are the expected merit aggregate scores for some programmes.

These are aggregate percentages rather than UTME scores.

How FUMMSA Calculates Aggregate Score

FUMMSA uses a 100-point aggregate system.

Your final score is made up of:

• 50% from your UTME score

• 50% from your O'Level grades

Step 1: Calculate Your UTME Points

Divide your UTME score by 8.

Example

• JAMB Score: 280

• 280/8 = 35 points

Step 2: Calculate Your O'Level Points

Your five compulsory subjects are graded as follows:

The total points from English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics make up the remaining 50%.

Your aggregate score is the sum of both calculations.

FUMMSA Admission Requirements

Apart from meeting the cut off mark, you must also satisfy these requirements:

• Choose FUMMSA as your first choice institution.

• Score at least 200 in UTME.

• Be at least 16 years old by 30 September 2026.

• Have five credit passes in English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

• Only WAEC and NECO results are accepted.

• Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Physiotherapy and Optometry require the five credits in one sitting.

• Other programmes accept results from not more than two sittings.

Important Notice

FUMMSA processes all admissions through its official admission portal only: https://admissions.fummsa.edu.ng/.

The university has not appointed any admission agents, and applicants should never make payments into private bank accounts.

You should also upload your O'Level results to JAMB CAPS through an accredited CBT centre, as failure to do so may affect your admission.
