Are you eager to join Sokoto State University for the 2025/2026 academic session but unsure about the required cut-off marks for your preferred course? The SSU cut-off mark is a crucial factor in the admissions process, as it determines the minimum UTME score required for eligibility in various programs. Understanding these cut-off marks helps prospective students assess their admission chances and plan accordingly.

A cut-off mark is the minimum UTME score a candidate must achieve to be considered for admission into a university. This score varies across institutions and depends on factors such as the popularity of a course, the university’s admission capacity, and JAMB policies.

For the 2025/2026 academic session, Sokoto State University has set a general JAMB cut-off mark of 140. This means candidates who score 140 and above in their UTME are eligible to apply for admission into any course offered by the university.
