Admission into Bowen University for 2026/2027 now runs on a 150 cut-off mark. Candidates who scored below that in UTME are not eligible to proceed, regardless of their course of interest.
Bowen University Post UTME Cut-Off Mark
The Bowen University Post-UTME cut-off mark is the minimum score in the Post-UTME screening expected of any candidate who met the JAMB cut-off mark and participated in Bowen’s screening. It’s the least Post-UTME score eligible for admission consideration.
We’d previously listed specific faculty-level figures here (Medicine at 250, Law at 240, Engineering at 220, Science at 190). The identical set of numbers turned up, word for word, on other university pages that don’t even offer the same courses, which tells us it was a copy-paste template rather than real Bowen-specific data.
We’ve removed it rather than keep repeating something we can’t verify.
Bowen University 2026/2027 Departmental Cut-off Mark
The Bowen University departmental cut-off mark is the final minimum score expected from a candidate to get admission into their course of choice. It’s based purely on the department or course involved, and it isn’t static; it shifts with a few factors:
1. General Performance
General performance among applicants applying for that course in SSCE, JAMB, and Post-UTME matters. The better the overall performance, the higher that department’s admission cut-off tends to be. The final admission cut-off comes from:
- WAEC/NECO/NABTEB GPA (grade points from the relevant O’level subjects).
- The average of the JAMB score and the Post-UTME screening score.
2. Admission Quota
Each department has admission quotas allocated by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
For example, if the admission quota for Medicine and Surgery is 100, that department stops admitting once the slot is exhausted, regardless of a candidate’s score.
In that case, the university admits based on a merit hierarchy, from the best candidate down to where the quota runs out.
