Official UDUS Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS) cut-off marks for all courses for the 2026/2027 session.

UDUS Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for the “Most Peaceful University in Nigeria”—Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS)—for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing an institution known for academic stability and discipline. UDUS is a favorite, especially for students in the North-West. We are here to provide you with the official admission stats for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year. Prospective students are encouraged to take a moment to understand that UDUS operates differently from many southern universities regarding screening.

UDUS JAMB Cut Off Mark for all Courses

The school management has made a public notice that the official and accepted UDUS JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 140.

Important Reality Check: Do not let the 140 figure deceive you. While 140 qualifies you to apply, it does not guarantee admission into competitive courses.

• The 140 Benchmark: This score is sufficient for many courses in the Faculties of Education, Arts, and some Sciences.

• The 200+ Benchmark: If you are applying for Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, or Medical Lab Science, a score of 140 will not get you admitted. You generally need a score of 240+ to be safe on the merit list.

This implies that all 2026 JAMB candidates who scored 140 and above and chose UDUS as their First Choice are eligible to register for the admission screening.

Does UDUS Write Post UTME?

Unlike UNILAG or UNN, UDUS does NOT conduct a physical Post-UTME examination.1

Instead, they conduct an Online Screening. This means:

1. They evaluate your JAMB Score.

2. They verify your O’Level Grades (WAEC/NECO).

3. They check your Catchment Area status.

Critical Warning: Since there is no exam to boost your low JAMB score, your JAMB score is your main weapon. If your JAMB score is low, your only hope is a strong O’Level result and the catchment factor.

Important UDUS Admission Tips for 2026/2027

To secure your admission into UDUS, keep these critical points in mind:

1. O’Level Upload is Mandatory: Since there is no physical exam, UDUS relies heavily on your O’Level status on JAMB CAPS. If you have “Awaiting Result,” you must upload it immediately it is released, or you will lose your admission.

2. Catchment Area: UDUS is a federal university, but it serves the catchment states of Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Katsina, Kano, Jigawa, and Niger. If you are from these states, you have a higher chance of admission with a lower score than candidates from other regions.

3. Correct Subject Combination: Ensure your JAMB subjects match the course requirements. For Islamic Studies, having Arabic in your O-Level or JAMB is a huge advantage.
