NAUB has released its institutional cut-off for the 2026/2027 session. Candidates who listed the university on JAMB need this figure before the post-UTME screening window closes. Missing it, or assuming last year’s figure still applies, can knock a qualified applicant out of contention before screening even starts.

About NAUB
NAUB is the Nigerian Army’s dedicated research university, built to modernize the country’s defence training into a technology-driven, research-intensive institution. That mandate shapes how the school designs its admission process, including the post-UTME screening every 2026/2027 candidate has to clear.
The 180 Cutoff Score
NAUB’s post-UTME cutoff for 2026/2027 is 180. Anyone scoring below that in the UTME cannot sit the screening exercise, regardless of other qualifications.
Meeting 180 does not guarantee a seat. It only earns a candidate the right to sit the post-UTME screening exercise NAUB runs afterward.
Candidates who put NAUB as their first choice must also upload their ‘O’ Level results to the JAMB CAPS portal promptly. JAMB uses that upload to confirm a candidate meets both the UTME and the ‘O’ Level requirements NAUB has set for this admission cycle.
Skipping that CAPS upload disqualifies an otherwise eligible candidate from admission, even with a UTME score above 180. That holds regardless of how strong the result looks on paper, since CAPS compliance is treated as a separate, non-negotiable step.
Avoiding Fake Admission Agents
NAUB does not use admission agents of any kind. Fraudsters have posed as NAUB representatives to extort prospective students, so treat anyone claiming that role as a scam. These scams typically target candidates anxious about meeting the 180 mark, promising a shortcut past the official screening process.
Verify any claim only through NAUB’s official website. Report suspicious contacts to fraud@naub.edu.ng, or reach the university directly at info@naub.edu.ng for genuine enquiries. No payment or private contact outside those two addresses should be treated as official communication.
What the 180 Mark Actually Buys You
Clearing the 180 cutoff only opens the post-UTME screening, not admission itself. Candidates still need the CAPS upload done correctly to count, and candidates who treat 180 as the finish line, rather than the starting point, are the ones most likely to miss that step.
NAUB pairs that entry bar with research-driven training inside the Nigerian Defence System, the same institution the cutoff and fraud warnings above both protect.
