UNIZIK Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for the “University of All Times”—Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka—for the 2026/2027 academic session, knowing the score to target is your first step to victory. We are here to provide you with the official admission stats for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year. Prospective students are encouraged to take a moment to check the official UNIZIK cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 session, as released by the school management. Below, you’ll find the list of both the general JAMB cut-off mark and the departmental merit targets.

UNIZIK Cut Off Mark for all Courses

The school management has made a public notice that the official and accepted UNIZIK JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session varies by faculty. Generally, there is a baseline score of 160 for less competitive courses, but professional courses have a baseline of 200.

Important Reality Check: UNIZIK is one of the most competitive federal universities in the South-East. While 160 might allow you to buy the form for Education or Agriculture, it will not get you into Medicine or Law.

This implies that all 2026 JAMB candidates who met the specific faculty score and chose UNIZIK as their choice of institution are eligible to register for the Post UTME screening. Below are the departmental cut-off marks for this academic year.

UNIZIK Departmental Cut-off Mark

UNIZIK school management releases departmental cut-off marks after the screening exams. It is required of all prospective undergraduates to meet these merit targets if they are to be admitted into the institution. All 2026 aspirants who sat for the JAMB and meet the required cut-off mark for all courses have a greater chance of gaining admission.

Below is the Nnamdi Azikiwe University cut-off mark guide for all courses for the 2026/2027 academic session, categorized by their competitiveness:

Important Admission Tips for 2026/2027

To secure your spot at UNIZIK, pay attention to these three rules:

1. The “Merit” vs. “Catchment” Rule: UNIZIK admits largely on merit (45%), but they also respect catchment areas (35%) for students from specific states (Anambra, Enugu, etc.). If you are from a catchment state, you might get in with a slightly lower score than the general merit target.

2. O-Level Upload: This is the silent killer of admissions. You MUST upload your WAEC/NECO results to JAMB CAPS. If you don’t do this, even with a score of 300, you will not be admitted.

3. Subject Combination: Ensure your JAMB subject combination matches your course. For example, don’t apply for Medical Lab Science without Physics in your JAMB.

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions concerning the JAMB cut-off mark and UNIZIK Departmental cut-off marks, as our support team is always on standby to attend to you.
