For University of Uyo (UNIUYO), the cut-off marks are broken down into two levels: the general eligibility mark and the departmental merit mark.
1. General JAMB Cut-Off Mark
To be eligible to apply for the UNIUYO Post-UTME screening for any course, including Computer Engineering, you must score at least 150 in your JAMB UTME.
2. Departmental Merit Cut-Off (The "Real" Target)
While 150 gets you through the door for the screening, Computer Engineering is a competitive course in the Faculty of Engineering. UNIUYO typically uses an aggregate system (combining your JAMB score and Post-UTME score) to determine final admission.
Based on previous admission trends, to be comfortable for Computer Engineering, you should aim for:
JAMB Score: 220 or higher.
Aggregate Score: Usually around 60% to 65% after the Post-UTME online screening.
Since there is no physical Post-UTME to "boost" your score, your JAMB result and O'Level grades carry all the weight.
If you have strong O'Level results (mostly A's and B's): This significantly helps your chances if your JAMB score is around the 200–220 range.
If your O'Level results are average (C's): You would typically need a much higher JAMB score (240+) to remain competitive for an Engineering spot.
Also ensure your O'Level results are uploaded at a JAMB-approved CBT center. If they aren't on CAPS, UNIUYO cannot offer you admission.

For the 2026/2027 admission cycle, the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) generally requires a minimum JAMB score of 180 for general eligibility. However, Computer Engineering is highly competitive, and the specific departmental cut-off for the 2025/2026 session was approximately 220 or higher to be competitive.

It is important to aim for a high score above 220 to increase your chances, as admission is based on a competitive, merit-based system, especially for engineering courses.
