Is UNIDEL Worth It?

For admission planning, the official 2026/2027 portal notice specifies a minimum UTME score of 230 for Medicine, Nursing, Medical Laboratory and Law, and 150 for other courses. Applicants also need the relevant O’Level credits. Meeting the stated minimum does not itself establish the fees or guarantee admission.

Your Next Steps

Check the official admission notice for your course and entry route, then use the university portal for your own fee assessment. The minimum UTME requirements are 230 for the four specified professional courses and 150 for other courses, rather than the earlier blanket 160 figure.
