Veritas University Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Veritas University for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a university that blends academic discipline with high moral standards. Located in Bwari, Abuja, Veritas is known for its strike-free calendar and its reputation as one of the top private universities in Northern Nigeria.

Veritas University JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the Veritas 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 most courses in the Faculties of Management, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Natural Sciences.

• The “Ivy League” Exception: Do not be deceived; while 170 makes you eligible to apply to the university, it does not guarantee admission into high-demand courses like Medicine, Law, or Nursing. The university has raised the bar significantly for these professional courses.

• First Choice Policy: Veritas University is very welcoming. You do not need to have chosen them as your First Choice initially. You can apply first, and then do a Change of Institution on JAMB CAPS later to regularise your admission.

Veritas University Departmental Admission Targets

While 170 qualifies you for general screening, admission into professional courses involves meeting specific, much higher departmental minimums. Below are the Safe JAMB Scores you should aim for to be confident of admission.
