If you’ve been aiming for Edo State University, Iyamho (EDSU) for the 2025/2026 academic year, this is your go-to guide. It covers the UTME cut-off, eligibility criteria, application process, and all you need to know to prepare properly and avoid mistakes.
Cut-Off Marks
- For most programmes, the minimum UTME cut-off score is 140.
- More competitive programmes have higher cut-offs:
- Medicine & Surgery – 200
- Nursing – 160
Eligibility Requirements
To apply for EDSU Post-UTME / Direct Entry 2025/2026, you must:
- Sit for the 2025 UTME
- Achieve at least the required cut-off score for your chosen programme
- Have at least five (5) credit passes in relevant O’Level subjects, including English Language and Mathematics
- These credits should be in not more than two sittings, except for very competitive programmes which may require one sitting only (e.g., Medicine & Surgery)
- If you did not choose Edo University as your first choice, you can still apply, provided you complete the change of institution via JAMB before the deadline
Direct Entry & Transfer Applicants
- Holders of NCE (Merit), OND/HND (Credit), or University Degree in relevant fields are eligible for Direct Entry admission
- Also accepted are A-Level, JUPEB, IJMB or equivalent qualifications in subjects relevant to your course
- Transfer students from other accredited institutions may apply if they meet the requirements and have a good academic record
Application Process & Fees
Here’s how the EDSU application generally works:
- Open the Post-UTME / Direct Entry form during the application window
- Complete the online application form with accurate personal and academic information
- Upload required documents: O’Level result(s), JAMB result slip, passport photograph, birth certificate or age proof
- Pay the non-refundable screening/application fee as specified by the university
- Submit the form, then await notification for screening or admission lists
Important Notes & Tips
- Meeting the cut-off mark does not guarantee admission—screening performance, departmental quotas, and competition among applicants also matter
- Ensure all documents are valid, clear, and properly uploaded
- Don’t miss deadlines for application window, change of institution, and result uploads
- For Medicine & Surgery, aim well above the cut-off since competition is steep
