University of Maiduguri Cut-Off Marks for All Courses 2025/2026

University of Maiduguri Cut-Off Marks for All Courses – The University of Maiduguri has published its approved cut-off marks for the 2025/2026 admission exercise. These benchmarks vary across departments and programmes, with separate scores set for merit and other categories.

Prospective candidates must meet the required mark for their chosen course before proceeding with post-UTME registration. Below is the complete breakdown.

Why UNIMAID Cut-Off Marks Matter

There’s a specific cut-off mark for each faculty and department and for each programme, there are typically two scores: merit admission and other admission categories. You won’t be eligible to move to the screening of post-UTME if you fail to reach a course’s cut-off mark.

N/B: The cut-off mark for the merit list is usually higher than the cut-off for others.

What Next?
If you exceeded or met the required cut-off mark, then you can proceed to the next step by registering for the post-UTME. However, if you didn’t meet up to your desired course cut-off mark, you can explore other options to avoid missing out entirely.

This stage is about assessing your chances realistically, making smart decisions, and, if the odds are in your favor, already picturing that exciting first walk through the University of Maiduguri campus.

Final Thoughts
The University of Maiduguri’s cut-off marks are more than just numbers, they’re the gateway to your next academic chapter. Knowing where you stand now gives you the clarity to either move forward with confidence or adjust your plans wisely.

If your score qualifies you, don’t delay your post-UTME registration, every step you take now brings you closer to your admission letter. And if you didn’t meet the mark, remember this isn’t the end, many successful graduates once had to take a different route before finding their place.

Your journey to higher education is unique, and with the right strategy, determination, and timely action, you’ll get to where you’re meant to be.
