Official Tansian University Umunya Admission Guide 2026/2027

Official Tansian University Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about Tansian University (TANU), Umunya, for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you are attracted by its legacy (founded by the late Msgr. Prof. Johnbosco Akam), its location in the heart of Anambra State, or its recent full accreditation success in Nursing Science, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, the admission screening reality, and the tuition fee breakdown.

Tansian University Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Tansian University for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a university located in Umunya, Oyi LGA, Anambra State (along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway). Tansian University is designed to be an accessible “Home of Active Knowledge,” offering quality private education without the extreme costs associated with some other private universities.

Tansian University JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the Tansian University JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 140.

Important Reality Check:

• The 140 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to access the application portal. If you scored 140 and above, you are eligible to register for screening for most courses in the Faculties of Management, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Education.

• The “Accreditation” Effect: Tansian University recently secured full accreditation for Nursing Science from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN). This has massively increased the competition for this course. While 140 makes you eligible to apply to the university, admission into Nursing is now much tougher. To be safe, you generally need a score of 200 to 220+ to stand a realistic chance on the merit list for Nursing.

• First Choice Policy: Tansian 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 regularize your admission.
