The 2026/2027 cut-off mark picture for UNN is now out. Candidates need this information before they can tell whether they are in contention for a place, and before any screening exercise starts.
Candidates who are still unsure where they stand should treat UNN’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.
UNN Cut-off Mark for 2026/2027
UNN’s management has set 160 as the general cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 session, above JAMB’s national floor of 150 for universities. Candidates who scored at least 160 in the 2026 UTME and chose UNN are qualified to register for Post-UTME screening.
UNN doesn’t use one flat cut-off for every course beyond that entry point, though. Skipping or rushing this part of the process is one of the more common reasons admission gets delayed. Skipping or rushing this part of the process is one of the more common reasons admission gets delayed.
Competitive courses, especially Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacy, and the Engineering programmes, have historically expected scores far above the general mark once UNN’s own merit list and aggregate formula are applied, and those departmental figures are usually only confirmed after the Post-UTME screening exercise rather than before it.
If you’re targeting one of those courses, don’t plan around 160 alone. Candidates should keep a copy of every document mentioned here, since admission offices often ask for it again. That detail stays the same for every candidate who applies through JAMB this cycle.

What the Mark at UNN Actually Means
Clearing UNN‘s cut-off mark is the entry requirement, not the finish line. Candidates still need to complete every other step in the admission process to secure a place.
The admission outcome still depends on everything that happens after. UNN candidates should keep that in mind while the rest of the admission process plays out.
