• Applicants must have selected Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences, Abeokuta (FUMMSA) as their first-choice institution.
• Candidates must be at least 16 years old on or before September 30, 2026.

  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • English Language
  • Mathematics
  • Physics
• Candidates applying for Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, Pharmacy, and Dental Surgery must obtain the required five credits in one sitting.
• For other programmes, O’Level results obtained in a maximum of two sittings are acceptable.
• Only results from WAEC and NECO will be accepted.

Admission Requirements

Candidates who meet the above eligibility criteria will be qualified to participate in the university’s admission process.

The university disclosed that applicants will be required to register for the FUMMSA Post-UTME Screening Exercise. The commencement date for registration and screening will be announced later through the institution’s official communication channels.

Applicants will be required to pay:

• ₦2,000 for the Post-UTME Screening Application
• ₦4,000 for Portal Access

Payments are to be made through the university’s admission portal using the approved payment platform.

Admission Screening Method

FUMMSA stated that admission consideration will be based on candidates’ aggregate scores.

The university explained that the maximum obtainable score for the screening exercise is 100 points, comprising:

• 50% UTME Score
• 50% O’Level Result Score

Candidates’ aggregate scores will therefore be calculated using a combination of their UTME performance and O’Level grades.

Admission cut-off points for various programmes will be determined based on the aggregate scores obtained by applicants.

Important Notice to Applicants

The university emphasized that all admission-related transactions must be carried out only through its official portal.

Prospective candidates and parents are strongly advised not to make payments into private accounts or deal with individuals claiming to represent the institution.

FUMMSA warned that it has not appointed any admission agents, and anyone claiming to facilitate admission on behalf of the university is acting fraudulently.

Applicants are therefore urged to remain vigilant and obtain information only from official university sources.

Looking Ahead

With the release of the admission eligibility criteria, prospective students now have the opportunity to assess their qualifications and begin preparations for the forthcoming Post-UTME screening exercise.

Candidates are encouraged to regularly monitor official announcements from the university for updates regarding registration dates, screening schedules, and other admission-related information.

The Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences, Abeokuta remains committed to admitting qualified candidates who demonstrate academic excellence and meet the institution’s admission requirements for the 2026/2027 academic session.
