How FUHSA Chooses Candidates
FUHSA does not conduct written post-UTME exams. Admission is based on:

- Course demand
Each candidate is ranked using a screening formula. If you have good O’level results and high JAMB scores, your chances are better.
What If You Score Below the Cut-Off?
If your score is below the cut-off for your desired course:
- Apply for a course with a lower requirement

Never waste your JAMB result. FUHSA offers many good courses that accept 150 and above.
