The University of Jos (UNIJOS) has officially released the cut-off marks for undergraduate admission for the 2025/2026 academic session. This article provides complete information about the JAMB cut-off requirements for all courses at UNIJOS to help prospective students prepare their applications.

What is the UNIJOS Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026?

The general JAMB cut-off mark for UNIJOS is 180. This means you must score at least 180 in your JAMB UTME to be eligible for admission consideration at the University of Jos. However, many courses have higher requirements based on their competitiveness and demand.

It’s important to note that meeting the cut-off mark is just one of several requirements for admission. You must also:

• List UNIJOS as your first choice in JAMB

How UNIJOS Cut-Off Marks Are Determined

The cut-off mark is established by the university’s admission committee, which considers several factors:

• UTME Performance: Your score in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination conducted by JAMB
• O’Level Results: Grades achieved in WAEC, NECO, or other equivalent examinations
• Catchment Area Policy: Preference for candidates from certain states
• Merit: Overall academic performance and competitiveness
• Admission Quotas: Available slots in each faculty or department
• JAMB Guidelines: The minimum benchmark set by JAMB for universities

These factors help the university set appropriate cut-off marks for each program based on demand, available spaces, and the quality of applicants in a given admission cycle.
