Cut Off Mark for Medical Laboratory Science

The cutoff mark for medical laboratory science programs in Nigeria can vary among universities. Generally, it hovers around 200 to 240 out of 400 in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). However, this can differ between institutions and over different admission cycles. It’s advisable to verify the specific cut off marks set by the universities you’re interested in for the most accurate information.

What do Medical Laboratory scientist Do?

Medical laboratory scientists, play a crucial role in healthcare. They perform various laboratory tests on bodily fluids, tissues, and cells to help diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases. These professionals handle sophisticated equipment, analyze samples, interpret results, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide accurate information for patient care.
