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.

Courses That Accept 180:

1. Accounting
2. Political Science
3. Sociology
4. Law
5. Criminology
6. French
7. Psychology
8. History & International Studies
9. Management Studies
10. English Language
11. Biochemistry
12. Mathematics
13. Physics
14. Forensic Science

17. Hausa
18. Yoruba
19. Igbo
20. Banking & Finance
21. Computer Science
22. Biology
23. Chemistry
24. Linguistics

It’s the same bar for everyone. One number. No bias. No backdoor.

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.
