UTME Subjects and SSCE Requirements for Anatomy

Human Anatomy

While seeking admission for Anatomy through the JAMB UTME, candidates must understand a few things foremost.

Admission seekers must understand:

1. the list of the universities offering Anatomy
2. the UTME subjects to write in UTME for Anatomy
3. the SSCE subjects required to study Anatomy
4. the JAMB cut-off marks required for Anatomy
5. individual universities' cut-off marks or departmental cut-off marks for Anatomy
6. and other similar factors that may give them the edge in gaining admissions or being deprived of the offers.

This post will take you through all these concerns and the related ones starting from what JAMB requires subjects/grades in UTME and O'level if you must process admission for Anatomy.

JAMB Admission Requirements for Anatomy

Strictly, JAMB requires admission seekers to:

1. possess at least five (5) SSCE credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics in not more than two sittings. SSCE acceptable include WAEC, NECO, GCE and NABTEB
2. write English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics in UTME

However, a few universities require or accept more or less. That takes us to the next section.

Individual Universities SSCE (O'level) Subjects for Anatomy

1. University of Calabar (UNICAL), Calabar Cross Rivers requires Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
2. Ebonyi State University ((EBSU), Abakaliki, Ebonyi State accepts only one (1) sitting.
3. University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), Borno State accepts Mathematics in lieu of Physics.
4. Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, Delta State requires SSC or its equivalent with credit pass in at least five (5) subjects which must include English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology at not more than two (2) sittings.

JAMB and Universities' Cut-Off Marks for Anatomy

JAMB will yearly draw national cut off marks for universities offering Anatomy. While the exact score may be accepted by some universities, others may draw higher marks. For instance, JAMB usually draws 160 or above for universities. With this, the universities may accept to use the same or draw a bit higher. 

Experience has shown that if you must secure admission for Anatomy, it will be better if you score 200 or above notwithstanding. Where a university claims to accept 160 or less than 200, competing with candidates with higher marks may deprive you of admission eventually.

After registering for the university's post-UTME/screening, a university may draw what is called "departmental cut-off marks" to weed out more candidates. Hence, succeeding with the UTME score and O'level subjects/grades is not enough. You should also pass the post-UTME and beat or meet the departmental cut-off marks before you can be offered admission to Anatomy.

Of course, there are other factors that may deprive you of admission. I detail these serious reasons in my post, "5 Reasons You May Not Be Offered Admission This Year".
