The management of Nigeria Maritime University (NMU), Okerenkoko, Delta State, has released the official cut-off marks for admission into the 2025/2026 academic session. If you are seeking admission into NMU, it is essential to know the minimum score required for your chosen course before proceeding with your application.
Cut-off marks play a decisive role in determining admission eligibility. While the university has a general minimum cut-off mark, some departments demand higher scores because of their competitiveness. This guide provides the full list of departmental cut-off marks at NMU, along with the admission requirements you must meet as a prospective student.
What is the NMU Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026?
The general cut-off mark for admission into Nigeria Maritime University (NMU) is 160. This means that candidates who score 160 and above in JAMB UTME are eligible to apply for admission.
However, note that some courses — especially in engineering and nautical sciences — require higher scores due to higher demand and limited spaces. Scoring just the minimum may not be enough for such programmes, so candidates are advised to aim above the departmental cut-off.
