Even with the numerous number of BMU courses, it’s important to take their time, while looking into the possibilities of being admitted into certain departments in regard to his/her O’level and JAMB UTME subject combination.

Some courses at Bayelsa Medical University, just like other institutions across Nigeria are more competitive than one another.
Understanding this will enable applicants to know their admission potential even before applying for certain courses.
However, EduMubee will likely discuss certain important facts applicants should always take note of while processing their applications.
For example, some courses are majorly competitive in almost every institution, although one might differ from another.
Those kinds of courses might require high UTME marks and good grades in O’level before one can successfully secure admission to one among them.
Taking note of such particular BMU courses will help an applicant a lot in knowing what exactly he/she should go for that won’t require much extra effort in securing admission.
It also will help an applicant to stay away from the usual “change of course or not being admitted in the end.
The facts include;
1. O’level Subject Combination (WAEC, NECO, or other)
In the applicant’s O’level result, the required subjects of a particular course must be successfully secured.

2. Courses Potential Cut-Off Mark

For example, Medicine requires 250 even though the JAMB general mark requires 180. This means as an applicant who wants to apply for Medicine, at BMU, you should at least score 200 to 250 and even above. Potential course marks will chance an applicant to secure admission even before those who scalded the initial cut-off mark.
Even though this is not a must, EduMubee felt it’s important for applicants to acknowledge these facts. Let’s quickly discuss the possible “Subject Combination before we finally list the BMU courses.
