The official national minimum cut-off marks for 2026 have not yet been released. JAMB typically determines these benchmarks during its annual Policy Meeting on Admissions, which is scheduled to hold on May 11, 2026. Until this meeting concludes, any "official" 2026 national cut-off you see online is speculative.
Then if it's for UDUS as tagged in your question,
​While we wait for the 2026 official update, UDUS historically maintains a high standard, especially for competitive courses. Based on previous cycles, here is a summary of what to expect for the 2026/2027 session:
​General University Minimum: Usually 140 - 150 (depending on the JAMB policy decision). However, scoring the minimum only qualifies you for the less competitive courses in Arts or Agriculture.
High-Competition Courses:
​Medicine & Surgery: 290+
​Nursing & Pharmacy: 230 - 250
​Law (Common/Islamic): 240 - 250
​Medical Laboratory Science: 220+
Engineering & Sciences:
​Computer Science / Engineering: 180 - 190
​Microbiology / Biochemistry: 170 - 180
​Note: UDUS utilizes a Merit, ELDS (Educationally Less Developed States), and Catchment system. If you are from a "Catchment" state (like Sokoto, Kebbi, or Zamfara), the cut-off for your specific course may be slightly lower than the general merit score.
