If I apply for Nursing Science through the Pre-Degree program, what score do I need at the end of the session to enter 100 level?

Hi Damilola, the minimum benchmark for consideration is 60% overall in your tests and exams. However, because Nursing Science is competitive and subject to departmental quota, aiming for 70% and above alongside a strong UTME score will give you the safest advantage.
