The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)<\/a> has officially released the JAMB 2026 cut-off marks<\/strong> for Nigeria’s top universities, including UNILAG, UI, UNN, and ABU. This is a crucial moment for UTME candidates awaiting their admission decisions. Understanding these minimum scores will help you know whether you qualify for your desired programme and institution.<\/p>\n

What Are the 2026 JAMB Cut-Off Marks?<\/h2>\n

Cut-off marks are the minimum UTME scores required to gain admission into specific programmes at universities. JAMB typically sets a national minimum (usually around 120-160 points), but individual institutions and courses set their own higher cut-offs based on demand and capacity. In 2026, these marks determine which students can progress to the Post-UTME screening stage.<\/p>\n

Leading institutions have released their thresholds. Furthermore, Daily Post published the full list of cut-off marks<\/a> for all major universities. Competitive programmes in medicine, law, and engineering typically have higher cut-offs than others.<\/p>\n

    Frequently Asked Questions About JAMB 2026 Cut-Off Marks<\/h2>\n
    \n

    What happens if my UTME score is below the cut-off mark?<\/h3>\n

    If your score falls below your institution’s cut-off, you won’t be invited for Post-UTME screening at that university. However, you can still apply to other universities with lower cut-offs for your programme or consider changing your course preference to programmes with lower requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Is the JAMB national cut-off the same for all universities?<\/h3>\n

    No. While JAMB sets a national minimum cut-off, each university and programme establishes its own higher threshold. Prestigious universities like UNILAG and UI typically have higher cut-offs than less-subscribed institutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    When can I check my UTME score on JAMB portal?<\/h3>\n

    JAMB usually releases UTME results within 2-3 weeks after the examination ends. You’ll need your registration number and PIN to access your score on the official JAMB portal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
