UNIMAID Cut-Off Marks 2026/2027: Approved Admission Scores

The University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) has released the approved UTME programme cut-off marks for 2026/2027 admission. Candidates should compare their 2026 UTME score with the mark for their chosen course before preparing for screening.

What the cut-off marks mean

The cut-off mark is the minimum UTME score UNIMAID will use to consider a candidate for a programme. Meeting the mark does not guarantee admission, but scoring below it means the candidate may not be considered for that course.

The notice separates scores by admission category, including merit, ELDS and catchment considerations. Candidates should check the exact mark that applies to their course and category.

2. If your UTME score is below the mark, consider a related course with a lower approved score before screening begins.
3. Keep your JAMB profile, O'Level result details and admission documents ready for UNIMAID screening updates.
4. Use official UNIMAID admission notices or the admissions office to confirm any course-specific detail before making a final decision.

Applicants should keep monitoring UNIMAID admission updates so they do not miss screening registration, document upload or portal instructions.
