2. Post-UTME Screening: Participate in FUMMSA's screening exercise (August 25-29, 2025)
3. Results Upload: FUMMSA uploads screening results to JAMB
4. Admission Offer: JAMB issues admission letters to successful candidates through CAPS

What Sets FUMMSA Apart

As a specialized health sciences university, FUMMSA focuses exclusively on medicine and related disciplines. This specialization means:

• Purpose-built teaching hospitals and clinics
• Faculty members who are practicing health professionals
• Clinical exposure from early years of study
• Strong partnerships with healthcare institutions
• Research focus on prevalent Nigerian health challenges

Competitive Landscape

While the minimum JAMB requirement is 200, admission to professional programs like Medicine typically requires scores above 280. Pharmacy, Dentistry, Physiotherapy, and Nursing are also highly competitive, with cutoff marks significantly above the institution's minimum.

Students applying for basic medical sciences (Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology) face less competition and may secure admission with lower JAMB scores, provided they meet the five-credit O'level requirement.

Cost Considerations

The announcement mentions "additional fees upon enrollment," which typically include acceptance fees, registration fees, and first-semester tuition. As a federal institution, FUMMSA's fees are generally lower than private medical schools but higher than conventional universities due to the specialized nature of health sciences education.

Prospective students should prepare for costs including textbooks, laboratory coats, dissection kits, stethoscopes, and other medical equipment required for clinical training.
