Official Babcock University Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you are attracted by its reputation as one of Nigeria’s premier private universities, its stable academic calendar, or its highly rated Ben Carson School of Medicine, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, the “Screening vs. Exam” reality, and the financial commitment required.

Babcock University Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Babcock University for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing an institution known for its holistic education and strict moral discipline. Owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Babcock operates with a high standard of academic and behavioral excellence. Unlike many universities where admission is a black box, Babcock’s process is transparent but rigorous.

Babcock University JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the Babcock University JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 170.

Important Reality Check:

• The 170 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to access the application portal. If you scored 170 and above, you are eligible to register for screening for courses in the Schools of Education, Humanities, and Management Sciences.

• The “Ivy League” Courses: Do not be deceived; a score of 170 will NOT get you into Medicine, Law, or Nursing. These courses are fiercely competitive. To be safe, you generally need a score of 240 to 260+ to stand a realistic chance on the merit list.

• One Sitting Rule: For Medicine & Surgery, Babcock University strictly accepts only One Sitting in your O-Level results. Two sittings are not accepted for this specific course.

   • Venues: Exams are often held in designated centers across Nigeria (e.g., Ilishan-Remo Main Campus, Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt).

   • Subjects: You will be tested on English, Mathematics, and General Knowledge/Current Affairs related to your field.

3. Interview: Successful candidates (especially for professional courses) may face an interview panel to assess their readiness and moral alignment with the university’s values.

Important Admission Tips

1. Moral Code: Babcock has a strict code of conduct. Indecent dressing, cooked food in hostels, and leaving campus without an “Exit Card” are strictly prohibited. Ensure you are ready for this lifestyle before applying.

2. Change of Institution: If you did not choose Babcock as your First Choice, you can still apply. However, you must effect a Change of Institution on JAMB CAPS to “Babcock University” to enable them to offer you admission on the central system.

3. Direct Entry: Babcock accepts JUPEB, IJMB, and First Degree holders. Admission into the 200 Level is possible, but for Medicine, it is extremely rare and often restricted to specific affiliate programs.
