GSU Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Gombe State University (GSU)—located in the Tudun Wada area of Gombe—you are choosing one of the most disciplined and highly regarded state universities in Northern Nigeria. Known for its steady academic calendar and beautiful campus, GSU is a top choice for many. We are here to provide you with the official admission stats for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year.

GSU JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the GSU JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session. However, it is not a “one size fits all” score. The cut-off varies depending on your faculty.

The Breakdown:

• General Minimum Score: 150

• Science Courses: 170

• Professional Courses (Medicine/Law/Pharmacy): 200

Important Reality Check:

• The 150 Benchmark: Scoring 150 makes you eligible to apply for courses in the Faculties of Arts, Education, and Social Sciences.

• The “Professional” Standard: For Medicine, Pharmacy, and Law, a score of 150 is completely useless. You generally need a score of 200 to 240+ to stand a realistic chance on the merit list.

• First Choice Policy: GSU is extremely strict. You MUST choose Gombe State University as your First Choice in JAMB. If they are your Second Choice, you will not be able to register for the screening.

Does GSU Write Post UTME Exams?

Usually, No. GSU typically adopts an Online Screening Method followed by a Physical Verification.

1. Registration: When the portal (dhrd-gsu-edu.com) opens, you will register and pay the screening fee (approx. ₦2,000).

2. Aptitude Test (Possibility): While they often do screening, GSU sometimes conducts a Physical Aptitude Test for high-stakes courses like Medicine and Law. You must be prepared for this just in case.

3. Physical Screening: This is mandatory. You will be required to come to the campus with your Original Credentials (Indigene Certificate, Birth Certificate, O’Level, JAMB Slip) for sightseeing by the admission officers.

Important Admission Tips

1. Indigene Preference: GSU is a state-owned institution. Indigenes of Gombe State are given significant priority. If you are a non-indigene, you need a much higher score (Merit List) to be considered.

2. O’Level Upload: You MUST upload your O’Level results to JAMB CAPS. If you fail to do this, your name will not appear on the admission list.

3. Remedial Programme: If your JAMB score is low, GSU has a very robust Remedial (Pre-Degree) Programme. Passing this programme gives you a second chance at admission into the university.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Can I apply with a score of 140?

  • Strictly speaking, GSU often sets the bar at 150. However, keep an eye on the official advertisement; occasionally, less competitive courses in Education might accept 140, but 150 is the standard safety net.

• Does GSU accept Second Choice?

  • No. You must change it to First Choice.

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions concerning the GSU portal, school fees, or the remedial programme, as our support team is always on standby to attend to you.
