Nigeria Police Academy Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026 Admission

There’s the number. You know the one. It either opens the gate or slams it shut. For those eyeing a seat in the Nigeria Police Academy’s 11th Regular Course, that number is 180. Nothing fancy. Just digits. But they mean everything right now.

The Score That Decides It All

Did you hit 180 or more in your UTME? If yes, breathe — not relief, not yet — just awareness. You’re still in the game. That score doesn’t guarantee you anything except one thing: a chance.

Score below 180? No spin here. No loopholes. You’re out for this round. Brutal? Maybe. But real.

JAMB Said Nothing. The Academy Spoke.

This year’s cut-off wasn’t handed down from above. JAMB didn’t say a word. Silence. So the Nigeria Police Academy stepped up, made the call. Independent move. Clear line: 180 and above, or try again next year.

But even if you cross that line, don’t relax just yet. You still have to buy the Academy’s application form. Without it? No selection exam. Without that? No admission. Simple chain.

180 Across the Board

Some schools split hairs, rank courses, assign cut-offs like a grading chart. Not here. Whether you want to study Law, Computer Science, Hausa, or Chemistry — 180 is the standard.

What Happens After?

You meet the score. You submit the form. Then comes the Selection Exam — where it really happens. This isn’t a tick-the-box exercise. It sorts contenders from hopefuls. So study like you’re already wearing the uniform.

If you haven’t applied yet, start the process here.

Deadlines are not suggestions. You slip, you’re out. Dates won’t wait. Don’t let one forgotten step erase all your effort. Be sharp.

Final Words (Not the Motivational Kind)

180 is not magical. It doesn’t hand you a badge or a spot. It gives you a fighting chance. That’s all. But for some, that’s enough.

So, if you’ve got the score? Use it. Move fast. No guarantees here — just opportunity.
