Direct Entry Requirement
Candidates who don’t intend to use UTME can fulfill these conditions to gain Direct Entry admission to study Dentistry and Dental Technology. You require three (3) ‘A’ level passes to include Chemistry, Biology/Zoology, and Physics.
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 minimum score of 180 or above in your JAMB result.
Covering All Three Sciences for UNIJOS Dentistry
Unlike many science courses that allow a choice of electives, Dentistry and Dental Technology at UNIJOS requires Chemistry, Biology, and Physics together at Direct Entry level, so all three of those subjects need to be genuinely solid and well-prepared.
Confirm these requirements against UNIJOS’s current admission brochure before registering, since the 180 JAMB benchmark can shift between sessions.
Your O’Level result should also cover English Language and Mathematics alongside Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, matching the four JAMB subjects required for this specific, highly competitive medical programme at UNIJOS.
