Official BMU Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about Bayelsa Medical University (BMU), Yenagoa, for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you are aiming to be a Medical Doctor, Pharmacist, or Nurse, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, the school fees breakdown (Indigene vs. Non-Indigene), and the details of their online screening.

BMU Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for BMU for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a specialized medical institution located in the heart of Yenagoa. BMU is unique because it is fully focused on health sciences. Unlike general universities, almost everyone here is studying something medical. Below are the admission stats for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year.

BMU JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the BMU JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 150.

Important Reality Check:

• The 150 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to access the application portal. If you scored 150, you are eligible to register for screening for most Allied Health and Basic Medical Science courses.

• The “Clinical” Exception: Do not be deceived; a score of 150 will NOT get you into Medicine & Surgery, Nursing, or Pharmacy. These courses have specific, higher cut-off marks enforced by the senate.

• First Choice Policy: BMU generally requires you to choose them as your First Choice in JAMB. If they are your Second Choice, you will likely need to do a Change of Institution on JAMB CAPS to be processed for admission.
