Topfaith University has not published a cut-off mark for Public Health. The official minimum is 150, JAMB’s 2026 floor for universities. Topfaith’s admissions page asks only that you “meet cut-off marks in UTME in relevant subjects” and gives no number. Public Health is one of eight programmes the NUC approved for Topfaith from the 2023/2024 session, and tuition for 2026/2027 is ₦1,900,000 a session, the lowest in its College of Medical Sciences.
2027/2028 update: Topfaith University cut-off marks usually stay the same from one year to the next, so the figures on this page are what 2027/2028 candidates should plan with. They come from the latest official notice (2026/2027). If the 2027/2028 notice changes anything, we will update this page.
Below you will find what Topfaith has published, a safe target score (clearly marked as my advice), the UTME and O’level subjects from JAMB’s brochure, how Topfaith admits through its portal and JAMB CAPS, the 2026/2027 fees, and where Public Health stands with the regulators.

| JAMB minimum for all universities (2026 UTME) | 150 | Official (JAMB policy meeting, 11 May 2026) |

Topfaith Public Health cut-off: what has been published
| Session | Figure | What it is | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026/2027 | Not published | Topfaith’s own cut-off for Public Health | topfaith.edu.ng/admissions (checked 3 November 2026) |
| 2026/2027 | 150 | JAMB’s minimum UTME score for every university | JAMB 2026 policy meeting (NAN, 11 May 2026) |
| 2026/2027 | No score given | Myschool reprint of Topfaith’s application notice | Myschool, 20 May 2026 |
| Earlier sessions | None found | No Topfaith departmental figure in any source I reached | Searches up to 3 November 2026 |
So the only number you can treat as official is 150. Topfaith takes its students through JAMB, and JAMB will not let any university admit a 2026 candidate below that line. If a blog shows you a “Topfaith Public Health cut-off” of 180 or 200, ask where it came from: none of the figures I have seen cites a Topfaith document.
Public Health started at Topfaith in October 2023. Topfaith has not published a departmental figure for it.
Safe target score for Public Health at Topfaith (my advice)
This is my judgement as an admissions adviser, built from how young private universities in Nigeria usually fill their places. It is not a Topfaith rule.
| Your UTME score | My read for Public Health at Topfaith |
|---|---|
| Below 150 | Not eligible this session |
| 150 to 164 | Eligible. Possible if the class has space |
| 165 to 179 | Reasonable with good science grades |
| 180 to 209 | Good. This is the range I would aim for |
| 210 and above | Strong |
For the 2027 UTME I would aim for at least 180. Public Health draws less competition than Nursing or MLS, and many candidates are offered it on CAPS after missing those courses, so a solid score keeps you ahead of transfers.
UTME subject combination and O’level for Public Health at Topfaith
| Requirement | Public Health at Topfaith |
|---|---|
| UTME subjects (JAMB brochure) | Use of English, Physics, Chemistry and Biology |
| O’level (JAMB brochure) | Five credits in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and English Language |
| O’level (Topfaith rule for every course) | Five credits in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, at no more than two sittings |
| Topfaith remark in the brochure | None. The Myschool reprint of JAMB’s Public Health (Medical and Health Sciences) page lists no Topfaith-specific remark, so the general line applies |
| Direct Entry (JAMB brochure) | Two A-level passes in Biology or Zoology, Chemistry and Physics plus O’level credits in Mathematics, Physics and English; or RN with five relevant credits |
| Direct Entry (Topfaith) | Five credits plus at least two A-level passes in relevant subjects, or an ND or HND with credit, or a good first degree |
| Transfer | JAMB admission letter, transcript and an attestation letter from your previous university |
Myschool carries more than one Public Health page. The one under Medical, Pharmaceutical and Health Sciences, which matches Topfaith’s College of Medical Sciences, gives Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Do not swap Physics for Mathematics.
At O’level you need all five science credits, the same as Nursing: Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and English.
How Topfaith screens Public Health applicants
Topfaith states that all its admissions go through JAMB. You apply online on the Topfaith portal, upload your documents, and choose Topfaith as your first choice on JAMB. The 2026/2027 notice does not publish a Post-UTME test, a test date, a form price or a scoring formula, so I cannot tell you whether Public Health applicants sit a paper test or are judged on UTME and O’level alone.
| Detail | Topfaith 2026/2027 |
|---|---|
| Who can apply | Candidates with five relevant credits (English and Mathematics included) who meet the UTME cut-off and chose Topfaith |
| Application | Online at topfaith.edu.ng/application/ (“Start Application”) |
| Form fee | Not published |
| Post-UTME test | Not described in the notice |
| Aggregate formula | Not published |
| Contacts listed | admissions@topfaith.edu.ng and two phone lines on the admissions page |
Worked example (illustrative)
With no published formula, the useful sum is the gap between your score, the 150 floor and my safe target of 180. These candidates are made up to show the method.
Take Ifiok, who scored 184 and has C4 in Biology, C5 in Chemistry, C6 in Physics, C5 in Mathematics and C4 in English from two sittings.
- Eligibility: 184 minus 150 = 34. Ifiok clears the JAMB floor by 34 marks.
- Against my safe target: 184 minus 180 = 4. Ifiok sits 4 marks above the score I would call safe.
- O’level check: all five credits; two sittings, which Topfaith accepts.
- What I would advise: apply early and accept quickly on CAPS.
Mercy scored 166. 166 minus 150 = 16, so the score itself is enough to be considered. She has all five credits. She is in the reasonable band and should apply, but should not reject a CAPS transfer to a related science course if one appears.
Your chances of getting Public Health at Topfaith
Topfaith is a young private university in Mkpatak, Essien Udim LGA. Its first students matriculated in May 2022, and it now lists 26 programmes on its 2026/2027 fees page. Private universities in Akwa Ibom draw far fewer UTME applicants than the University of Uyo, and fees screen out many families, so a candidate who clears 150 and has clean O’level results is usually in a stronger position at Topfaith than at a federal university with the same score.
Public Health at Topfaith is a moderate-demand course with a lower fee than the other health programmes. With 165 or more and clean science credits, your chances are fair.
How Topfaith compares with other Akwa Ibom universities
| University | Type | 2026/2027 minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Akwa Ibom State University (AKSU) | State | 150 (reprint of AKSU 2026/2027 notice). In 2025/2026 AKSU set 265 for its health programmes other than Nursing |
| Ritman University, Ikot Ekpene | Private | No published figure; JAMB floor of 150 applies |
JAMB set 31 October 2026 as the 2026/2027 deadline for public universities; that date has now passed. Private universities, Topfaith included, have until 30 November 2026, so admissions at Topfaith can still move on CAPS this month.
How to apply for Public Health at Topfaith, step by step
- Get your JAMB profile code: send NIN, a space and your 11-digit NIN to 55019 or 66019 from the phone line linked to your NIN.
- Register the UTME correctly: choose Public Health with English, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and make Topfaith University your first choice. If you chose another school, do a JAMB change of institution at a JAMB CBT centre.
- Upload your O’level to CAPS: do it at an accredited JAMB CBT centre as soon as your result is out. Check that English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology all show.
- Apply on the Topfaith portal: open topfaith.edu.ng/application, click “Start Application”, fill the form and upload the documents it asks for.
- Follow the screening instructions: Topfaith contacts applicants about the next step. If you hear nothing, write to admissions@topfaith.edu.ng with your JAMB number.
- Accept on CAPS: log in at efacility.jamb.gov.ng, choose Check Admission Status and accept the offer. Our JAMB CAPS guide explains each status.
- Pay the acceptance fee and register: the acceptance fee is ₦100,000 and is not refundable. Pay it and the ₦1,900,000 tuition only through channels Topfaith confirms, then print your JAMB admission letter.

Topfaith’s acceptance fee is ₦100,000 and is not refundable. Accept on JAMB CAPS first and pay only through the channel the university confirms in writing.
Studying Public Health at Topfaith University
Public Health is in Topfaith’s College of Medical Sciences and leads to a B.Sc. Public Health degrees in Nigeria usually run for four or five years depending on the university; Topfaith’s fees page does not state the length.
Accreditation
The NUC approved Public Health as one of eight new Topfaith programmes, with teaching from October 2023, after a visit in April 2023 (Topfaith news). A later NUC resource verification visit to the Engineering and Medical Sciences faculties named Public Health among the programmes checked.
The NUC’s Accreditation Results 1990 to 2025 has no Public Health row for Topfaith yet, which fits a programme that began in 2023. I found no professional council approval for the programme. Accreditation status: not confirmed beyond NUC approval to run.
What you study
- Foundation: biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology.
- Core: epidemiology, biostatistics, health promotion, environmental health and nutrition.
- Health systems: health policy and management, reproductive and family health, disease control.

Mistakes that cost Public Health applicants a Topfaith place
- Mathematics in place of Physics: the health-sciences line needs Physics.
- Rejecting a CAPS transfer without thinking: Public Health is often the course offered after Nursing fills.
- Assuming Public Health is the same as Nursing: it does not lead to a nursing licence.
- Leaving O’level off CAPS: JAMB cannot process an admission without it.
- Accepting on CAPS and stopping there: acceptance fee payment and registration at Topfaith are separate steps.

Sources and updates
The application rules, the online portal and the contacts come from Topfaith’s admissions page; tuition and the ₦100,000 acceptance fee come from its fees page for 2026/2027 freshers (both checked 3 November 2026). The absence of a cut-off figure is confirmed by Myschool’s reprint of Topfaith’s 2026/2027 notice (20 May 2026). Subject requirements come from Myschool’s reprint of JAMB’s brochure page for Public Health (Medical and Health Sciences), which carries no Topfaith remark. The 2023/2024 approval and the resource verification come from two Topfaith news articles (undated pages, approval notice). The NUC’s Accreditation Results 1990 to 2025 (uploaded September 2026) has no row for this programme at Topfaith. The national minimum of 150 and the 30 November 2026 deadline for private universities come from the News Agency of Nigeria (11 May 2026). Comparison figures for other Akwa Ibom universities come from their own 2026/2027 notices or reprints, as labelled in the table. The safe target score and the worked example are my advice. This page will be updated if Topfaith publishes a cut-off for Public Health.
I am Jude Chinecherem, a final-year MBBS student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I know what it feels like to want an education your family cannot afford. When my parents could not pay for my schooling, I had to learn how to find scholarships and work the system out on my own, with nobody to guide me. I came out the other side, and now I share everything I learned so the next student does not have to figure it out alone. This is the advice I wish someone had given me back then.
