The cut-off mark Nile University has fixed for 2026/2027 stands at 150. Candidates below that line will not proceed to the next stage, no matter how strong the rest of their application looks.
Candidates who are still unsure where they stand should treat Nile University’s figure as the starting point for everything else in the admission process. Candidates should confirm their own UTME result against this figure before taking any further step.
Applicants aspiring to be admitted to Nile University must meet certain criteria to study the course of their choice. Nothing about that changes based on a candidate’s course of interest.
The list of criteria includes meeting the required cut-off mark for the school and the course or department itself. Once you’ve met the cut-off mark, you can proceed to the rest of the admission requirements for your desired course.
Nile University is a private university in Abuja. It remains one of the more competitive private universities in the country, particularly for Medicine, Law, and Engineering. Candidates should keep a copy of every document mentioned here, since admission offices often ask for it again.

Nile University 2026/2027 UTME Merit Admission Cut-off Mark
150 is the confirmed floor for every Nile University course. An older version of this page listed a flat 160 across every programme, including Medicine and Surgery and Law (LLB); that doesn’t match how Nile typically screens those two courses, which usually carry a meaningfully higher departmental cut-off than the rest of the university.
We’d rather leave Medicine and Law unspecified than repeat a number we can’t back up.
For Engineering, Natural and Applied Sciences, Arts and Social Sciences, and Management Sciences, 150 is the confirmed starting point, with Post-UTME performance deciding the rest. If Medicine or Law is your target, budget for a notably higher score and confirm the actual departmental figure directly with Nile University.
Reading Nile University’s Cut-Off Mark Correctly
The cut-off mark is Nile University‘s way of narrowing the field. Candidates who clear it still have real work left before admission is confirmed.
