EDSU Admission Requirements
To be considered for undergraduate admission into Edo State University, Uzairue, candidates generally need to meet the following requirements:
- O’Level results: a minimum of five credit passes in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in WAEC, NECO or NABTEB, obtained in not more than two sittings (some courses accept only one sitting).
- JAMB UTME: sitting the UTME with the correct subject combination for your chosen course and choosing EDSU as your first choice institution.
- Minimum score: meeting or exceeding the EDSU cut-off mark for the session and the departmental cut-off for your course.
- Age: candidates should be at least 16 years old by the admission year.
- Post UTME screening: registering for and participating in the EDSU Post UTME or screening exercise.
Direct Entry candidates apply with qualifications such as A’Level (IJMB, JUPEB, Cambridge A’Level), NCE, OND or HND, in addition to the O’Level requirements for their course.
EDSU Post UTME Screening
Every year, EDSU conducts a Post UTME or screening exercise for candidates who chose the university and met the minimum JAMB score. Depending on the session, the screening may be a computer-based test, an online document screening, or an aggregate of UTME and O’Level grades. Registration usually opens after JAMB releases UTME results, and the screening form fee is paid through the university’s admission portal.
When the EDSU Post UTME form is released, we publish the eligibility criteria, registration steps, dates and fee on this page and in our Post UTME section.
EDSU Cut-off Mark
EDSU sets a general cut-off mark each session, and individual faculties and departments set higher marks for competitive courses such as Medicine and Surgery, Law, Nursing, Pharmacy, Engineering and Accounting. Your final admission decision usually depends on an aggregate score that combines your UTME score with your Post UTME score and/or O’Level grades.
See our cut-off marks section for the latest EDSU general and departmental cut-off marks.
