The school management has officially set the NSUK 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 purchase the Post-UTME form. If you scored 170, you are eligible to register for screening for most courses in the Faculties of Arts, Education, Social Sciences, and Agriculture.

• The “Science & Engineering” Benchmark: For specific science-based courses like Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, and Computer Science, the cut-off is strictly 180.

• The “Professional” Benchmark: For highly competitive courses like Law and Community Health Science, a score of 170 or 180 is not enough. The official cut-off for these departments is 200.

• First Choice Policy: NSUK is very strict. You MUST choose Nasarawa State University as your First Choice in JAMB. If they are your Second Choice, you will not be able to register for the screening until you do a Change of Institution.

NSUK School Fees 2026/2027 (Estimate)

Estimated Fee Schedule for Freshers (100 Level):

• Indigenes of Nasarawa State: ~₦60,000 – ₦70,000

• Non-Indigenes: ~₦90,000 – ₦110,000

Does NSUK Write Post UTME Exams?

Usually, No. NSUK typically adopts an Online Screening Method.

1. Registration: You register on the portal (ug.nsuk.edu.ng) and pay the screening fee (₦2,000).

2. Upload Credentials: You upload your O’Level Result (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) and JAMB details.

3. Grading: The admission office evaluates your credentials. If you have the required Credits (including English and Maths) and meet the departmental cut-off, you are admitted.

4. Note: While it is usually online, always keep an eye on the portal in case they decide to introduce a physical test for high-volume courses like Law.

Important Admission Tips

1. O’Level Upload: You MUST upload your O’Level results to JAMB CAPS. NSUK will not admit any candidate with “Awaiting Result” status on CAPS once the admission list is compiled.

2. Indigene Certificate: If you are from Nasarawa State, ensure you have a valid Indigene Certificate. This is crucial for paying the lower “Indigene” school fees.

3. Direct Entry: NSUK accepts IJMB and Diploma results. You generally need a minimum of Lower Credit (National Diploma) or 7-9 Points (IJMB), depending on the course competitiveness.

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions concerning the NSUK portal, acceptance fee payment, or specific departmental requirements, as our support team is always on standby to attend to you.
