JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNIJOS for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have a score of a minimum of 180 or above in your JAMB result.
Why Physics Matters So Much for UNIJOS Dentistry
Physics is treated as essential rather than optional here, required alongside Chemistry and Biology or Zoology at both O’Level and IJMB/’A’ Level, a standard UNIJOS shares with UNICAL, UNN, UNIBEN, UNILAG, and OAU.
Confirm these requirements against UNIJOS’s current admission brochure before registering, since the 180 JAMB benchmark and waiver conditions can shift between sessions.
Your O’Level result needs English Language, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics together, while the IJMB/’A’ Level route repeats the same three sciences, so these subjects deserve your closest attention throughout secondary school.
Since the department’s JAMB listing leans heavily on ‘A’ Level documentation alongside English Language, candidates should keep both their UTME registration slip and their science result slips ready for screening.
