Admission into YUMSUK for 2026/2027 now runs on a 160 cut-off mark. Candidates who scored below that in UTME are not eligible to proceed, regardless of their course of interest.
Candidates who are still unsure where they stand should treat YUMSUK’s figure as the starting point for everything else in the admission process. It is the number candidates need to check first, before any other admission requirement.

YUMSUK 2026/2027 Cut off Mark
The UTME Cut off Mark for YUMSUK is 160. Candidates should have made Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano, their first choice in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. Skipping or rushing this part of the process is one of the more common reasons admission gets delayed.
