Read on for FUDMA cut-off marks, course tiers, Direct Entry rules and the next admission step.
Federal University Dutsin-Ma has announced the cut-off marks for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.
The required score depends on the chosen course. Some programmes require 180, some require 160, while all other programmes not listed under those two groups require 150.
What are the FUDMA cut-off marks for 2026/2027?
FUDMA cut-off marks for the 2026/2027 admission exercise are 180, 160 and 150, based on the course.
The National Policy on Admissions approved 150 as the minimum admissible JAMB score for admission into Nigerian universities. FUDMA uses that score as the base mark for programmes not placed under the higher score groups.
| Cut-off mark | Programmes covered |
|---|---|
| 180 | Health Sciences and Technology, Nursing Sciences, Engineering, Law |
| 160 | Selected management, social science, communication, library and science courses |
| 150 | All programmes not listed under 180 or 160 |
Candidates should check their course group before moving to the next admission stage. A candidate's chosen course determines the score target.
Which FUDMA courses require 180?
A minimum score of 180 applies to the following FUDMA programme groups:
- All programmes in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Technology
- All programmes in the Faculty of Nursing Sciences
- All programmes in the Faculty of Engineering
- All programmes in the Faculty of Law
Candidates seeking admission into any programme under these faculties need 180 or above. A lower score does not meet the stated course benchmark.
Which FUDMA courses require 160?
A minimum score of 160 applies to selected FUDMA courses.
These courses are:
- Accounting
- Economics and Development Studies
- Political Science
- Library and Information Science
- Sociology
- Mass Communication
- Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
- Microbiology
Candidates who picked any of these courses should use 160 as their minimum score mark. Meeting that mark makes them eligible for the next stated admission step.
Which FUDMA courses require 150?
A minimum score of 150 applies to all FUDMA programmes not listed under the 180 and 160 groups.
This means candidates should first check whether their course appears in the higher-score groups. If it does not, the stated minimum score is 150.
What are the FUDMA Direct Entry requirements?
Candidates seeking admission through Direct Entry must hold one of the stated minimum qualifications.
| Qualification | Minimum requirement |
|---|---|
| National Diploma (ND) | Lower Credit |
| National Innovation Diploma (NID) | Lower Credit |
| NCE | 9 points |
| IJMB for College of Health Sciences courses | 9 points, with at least 3 points in each subject |
| IJMB for all other courses | 6 points, with at least 1 point in each subject |
Direct Entry candidates should compare their qualification with the correct admission route. The IJMB rule changes by course group, so candidates for College of Health Sciences courses need to check the higher point requirement.
Where is Federal University Dutsin-Ma located?
Federal University Dutsin-Ma is located in Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area of Katsina State.
Katsina State sits in Nigeria's North-West region. The state shares boundaries with Niger Republic and the Nigerian states of Kaduna, Kano and Jigawa.
Why should candidates check the FUDMA cut-off marks early?
Candidates need the cut-off marks to know whether they can proceed with the admission process.
A candidate seeking Law, Engineering, Nursing Sciences or Health Sciences and Technology needs 180 or above, while a candidate seeking Accounting, Mass Communication, Microbiology or the other listed 160 courses needs at least 160. Other programmes follow the 150 score mark.
This saves time. It also helps candidates focus on the correct next step.
What should candidates do after meeting the cut-off mark?
Candidates who meet the cut-off mark for their chosen course can proceed to the FUDMA Post UTME stage.
They can check the FUDMA Post UTME Form details for the next admission step. Candidates who want to compare admission marks across schools can also check cut-off marks for other universities, polytechnics and colleges.
What is the key point for FUDMA applicants?
FUDMA has set three score levels for 2026/2027 admission: 180, 160 and 150.
Candidates should match their course with the correct score group before taking the next step. Those who meet the required mark can proceed with FUDMA Post UTME.
