UNIABUJA Cut Off Mark for 2025/2026 Admission Exercise
The University of Abuja has announced the cut-off marks for 2025/2026 admissions. Candidates need at least 180 in UTME to qualify, though some courses demand higher scores. Please read below for full details on each faculty and programme.
The University of Abuja has spoken. The long-awaited cut-off marks for the 2025/2026 academic year are out, and every hopeful candidate will want to know where they stand. Some will breathe easy, others will bite their lips, but everyone has to face it.
Before we roll into the figures, a quick rewind. The University of Abuja, set in the heart of Nigeria’s capital, opened its doors in 1990. It actually started small, with just three buildings in Gwagwalada, known back then as the “mini-campus.” From those modest roots, the school has grown into one of the country’s better known public universities.
The rule of the game
To even sit for the Post-UTME screening, one thing is clear. You must have:
- A minimum of 180 in your UTME.
- Selected UNIABUJA as your first choice when registering.
Once that bar is cleared, the real filter is the cut-off score tied to each course. And trust me, some of them are higher than others. Medicine and Nursing, for instance, are on another level entirely.

For students keen on looking at how other schools are scoring, the full list of cut-off marks for other universities, polytechnics and colleges is also available.
Why the numbers matter
Cut-off marks are more than digits on paper. They are the first gatekeepers. They decide who moves to the next stage and who has to sit back and try again next year. Some may call it harsh, but without it, the whole process would be a traffic jam.
At the end of the day, the cut-off doesn’t just measure your score, it speaks about competition. Thousands chasing few seats, like a crowded bus stop in rush hour.
For those who meet the mark, the road ahead is still long. Post-UTME form details are also up, see UNIABUJA Post UTME Form for what to do next.
One last word
To every candidate reading, whether your score made you smile or frown, keep your head up. Admission race in Nigeria is tough, no lie, but as we say, “person wey no give up fit still chop win.”
