MAN has confirmed 160 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 MAN’s figure as the starting point for everything else in the admission process. Getting this detail wrong at the outset can cost an otherwise qualified candidate a place later.
This implies that the institution will accept and screen all candidates who scored the exact cut-off marks or above the stated cut-off marks. Candidates should keep a copy of every document mentioned here, since admission offices often ask for it again.

Applicants who aspire to get admitted into MAN must meet certain criteria in order to study the course of their choice. That detail stays the same for every candidate who applies through JAMB this cycle.
The list of criteria includes meeting the expected cut-off mark for the school and the course or department itself. Nothing about that changes based on a candidate’s course of interest.
Once you meet the Maritime Academy of Nigerian (MAN) Cut-off Mark, you can proceed with the other admission requirements into the desired course. Nothing about that changes based on a candidate’s course of interest.
MAN JAMB Cut-off Mark
The official JAMB cut-off mark for MAN is 160. Nothing about that changes based on a candidate’s course of interest.
However, courses such as Nautical Science, Elect/Elect Engineering, and Marine Engineering require a cut-off mark of 175. It is worth double-checking this detail directly against the official portal before relying on it.

The Line MAN Is Actually Drawing
MAN‘s cut-off mark decides who can be considered, nothing more. The rest of the admission outcome depends on how well a candidate handles the steps that follow.
Nothing about the rest of the process gets easier just because this figure is cleared. MAN candidates should keep that in mind while the rest of the admission process plays out.
