UNIMAID Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027 Admission Exercise

University of Maiduguri has released the cut-off marks for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.

Candidates seeking admission into UNIMAID should check the mark for their chosen course before moving to the Post UTME stage. Each course has scores for merit, catchment and ELDS categories; any candidate whose score falls below the required mark for a course cannot proceed for that course.

Why UNIMAID Cut-Off Marks Matter

The cut-off mark tells each candidate whether the next admission step remains open.

Some courses carry higher marks, especially Medicine and Surgery, Dental Surgery, Law, Pharmacy and Computer Science, while many other courses have lower marks across their categories. Candidates can also check the JAMB cut-off marks guide for wider admission context.
