Are you seeking admission into the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN)? If yes, then you need to know the official UNN cut-off mark for the 2025/2026 academic session. This post contains everything you must know — the general cut-off mark, departmental cut-off marks, and other crucial admission requirements.
Key Information
- Institution: University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN)

What is the UNN Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026?
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set the minimum university entry mark at 140, but UNN has pegged its own general cut-off mark at 180. This means that any candidate who scores 180 and above in JAMB is eligible to apply for admission into UNN.
However, scoring 180 only qualifies you for admission consideration; it does not guarantee admission, especially into highly competitive departments.
