FUHSA Post UTME Form 2026 — Cut Off Mark for Nursing, Medicine, Courses, Fees and Admission
FUHSA Post UTME Form 2026/2027
The Federal University of Health Sciences, Azare — FUHSA — has officially released its Post UTME and Direct Entry screening form for the 2026/2027 academic session to apply {here](https://wa.me/2348057091133). FUHSA is a federal government university established in 2021 and located in Azare, Katagum Local Government Area, Bauchi State. It was established specifically to address the shortage of healthcare professionals in Nigeria — not a general university that happens to have a health science faculty, but an institution whose entire mandate, every course, every faculty, and every research direction, is focused on producing health professionals.
This specialisation is what makes FUHSA both highly competitive and highly relevant for candidates who are serious about health science careers. Every applicant at FUHSA is competing for health science slots — the applicant pool is concentrated and serious, and the cut off marks reflect that.
Does FUHSA Do Post UTME?
Yes. FUHSA conducts Post UTME screening and it is compulsory for all eligible candidates. The screening at FUHSA is a physical exercise conducted on campus. In previous sessions, the screening was not an online-only process — candidates were expected to be physically present at the FUHSA campus in Azare for the screening after completing the online registration.
Can I Do My Post UTME Screening Online at FUHSA?
FUHSA has conducted its screening as a physical exercise at its Azare campus in previous sessions. Candidates register online through the portal but the actual screening typically requires physical attendance. Based on the 2025/2026 session pattern where physical screening was held from 26 to 29 August 2025, the 2026/2027 session is expected to follow a similar physical screening format. Candidates should confirm the specific 2026/2027 screening format from the official FUHSA website before planning travel to Azare.
What Is the Cut Off Mark for FUHSA 2026?
FUHSA uses a tiered cut off system where different courses have different minimum JAMB scores. This is one of the most clearly defined cut off structures among Nigerian federal universities. Based on officially verified cut off information:
Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) and Dentistry (BDS): 220 and above. These are the most competitive programmes at FUHSA and the cut off of 220 is just the eligibility floor — candidates with 220 are eligible to register for the screening but admission goes to those with the strongest combined scores.
Nursing Science, Medical Laboratory Science, Radiography, Physiotherapy, Optometry, and Audiology: 200 and above for the 2026/2027 session, based on the trend from the previous session. Earlier session data showed 170 for nursing but the competitive dynamics at FUHSA have pushed the practical requirements higher.
Public Health and Health Technology related courses: 160 and above.
Basic science courses — Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, and Microbiology: 150 and above.
What Is the Cut Off Mark for Nursing in FUHSA?
The official cut off mark for Nursing Science at FUHSA for the 2025/2026 session was set at 170 by the senate — making 170 the minimum to purchase the Post UTME form. However the practical competitive threshold — the score candidates actually need to secure admission given the number of applicants — is significantly higher. Candidates applying for nursing at FUHSA should aim for 200 to 220 and above to genuinely compete for a spot. The 2026/2027 cut off for nursing will be confirmed through the official FUHSA website and portal during the registration window.
Federal University of Health Sciences Azare Courses
Every programme at FUHSA is in the health and biomedical sciences space. The faculties and courses include:
Faculty of Clinical Sciences - Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) - Dentistry (BDS)
Faculty of Allied Health Sciences - Nursing Science - Medical Laboratory Science - Radiography and Radiation Science - Physiotherapy - Optometry - Audiology and Speech Language Pathology
Faculty of Public Health - Public Health - Environmental Health Sciences - Health Information Management - Information Technology and Health Informatics
Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences - Anatomy - Physiology - Biochemistry - Biotechnology - Microbiology
The scope of FUHSA's health science programme is one of the most comprehensive among federal universities in Nigeria — the dedicated focus means that from basic sciences through to clinical medicine, dental surgery, nursing, laboratory science, and public health, the institution offers a complete health sciences education ecosystem in one location.
Federal University of Health Sciences Azare School Fees
As a federal government university, FUHSA fees are subsidised by the federal government and are considerably more affordable than private health science universities. The fee structure varies by faculty and programme. Clinical programmes like Medicine and Surgery and Dentistry carry higher fees than the basic science programmes. The current school fee schedule for the 2026/2027 session is published on the official FUHSA portal and candidates should confirm the exact figures from there — the official FUHSA website is fuhsa.edu.ng.
The application fee for the FUHSA Post UTME form has been N2,000 in recent sessions based on verified information.
FUHSA Portal — How to Access
The FUHSA Post UTME and Direct Entry Screening Portal is the official application platform. Candidates use their JAMB registration number as both their username and password to log in to the portal. Only candidates who have selected FUHSA as first choice on JAMB and who meet the cut off mark for their chosen course can access the portal and proceed with the registration.
After online registration, candidates receive their physical screening dates. Physical screening has been conducted at the FUHSA campus in Azare, Bauchi State. Candidates should bring their online Acknowledgement Slip, JAMB Result Slip, and original O'Level certificates for accreditation at the venue.
FUHSA has also clearly warned candidates not to respond to communications from unofficial channels regarding their screening — any communication claiming to facilitate screening through unofficial routes is a scam.
For questions about the FUHSA admission process, the screening format, or your eligibility for a specific health science programme, reach out for direct guidance.
FUHSA Admission Requirements
Every candidate at FUHSA must meet five O'Level credit passes in relevant science subjects from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB in not more than two sittings. For clinical programmes, the required subjects are English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. Candidates must also be at least 16 years of age. FUHSA strictly enforces the first-choice requirement — only candidates who listed FUHSA as first choice on JAMB or who have formally processed a change of institution to FUHSA can access the Post UTME portal.
FUHSA is one of the most serious federal institutions in Nigeria in terms of enforcing its admission eligibility rules and candidates who attempt to circumvent the process through unofficial channels are consistently disappointed.
