BSUM has confirmed 170 as its cut-off mark for 2026/2027 admissions. That is the baseline JAMB uses to screen candidates who selected the institution, and it applies before any departmental requirement.
Candidates who are still unsure where they stand should treat BSUM’s figure as the starting point for everything else in the admission process. This is the starting point for every candidate, no matter which department they eventually apply to.
Candidates who aspire to get admitted into Benue State University must meet certain criteria in order to study the course of their choice. Among the list of criteria includes meeting the required cut-off mark for the school as well as the course or department itself.
BSUM cut-off mark is 170 to qualify for admission in 2026/2027 for all courses, and BSUM accepts and screens only first-choice candidates in their Post UTME. None of this changes depending on how strong the rest of a candidate’s application looks.
Once you have met the requirement for the cut-off mark, you can proceed to the rest admission requirements into the desired course. Candidates should keep a copy of every document mentioned here, since admission offices often ask for it again.

The Next Step After BSUM’s Mark
The cut-off mark is BSUM‘s way of narrowing the field. Candidates who clear it still have real work left before admission is confirmed.
Nothing about the rest of the process gets easier just because this figure is cleared. BSUM candidates should keep that in mind while the rest of the admission process plays out.
