FUMMSA Releases Post UTME Cut-Off Marks for 2025/2026 Admission
The Federal University of Medicine and Medical Sciences, Abeokuta (FUMMSA), has officially released the Post UTME cut-off marks for the 2025/2026 admission exercise. These figures represent the minimum scores required for merit and catchment categories across different courses, setting the tone for one of the most competitive admission rounds in Nigeria’s medical education sector.
Why this matters
For many candidates, these numbers are more than statistics—they determine admission chances. While some will celebrate meeting the benchmark, others may need to prepare for another opportunity in the future.

What this means for candidates
From the released cut-offs, highly competitive courses like Medicine and Surgery (76.00), Microbiology (70.29), and Pharmacy (65.40) clearly demand higher scores. On the other hand, foundational courses such as Biochemistry, Statistics, and Chemistry remain at the base cut-off of 50, making them more accessible.
It is important to note that meeting the cut-off mark is only the first step—it does not automatically guarantee admission. However, falling short of the benchmark almost certainly rules out the possibility. Candidates are strongly advised to compare their UTME and Post UTME scores against the official cut-offs to know where they stand.
Final note from management
With the official release now public, the next phase of the admission process will strictly follow these cut-off marks. The university has also emphasized that the admission process is completely free of charge and must be done only through official FUMMSA channels. Candidates are warned to avoid shortcuts or fraudulent agents that could jeopardize their chances.
