Official UNICROSS (CRUTECH) Admission Guide 2026/2027

Official UNICROSS (CRUTECH) Admission Guide 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS)—formerly known as the Cross River University of Technology (CRUTECH)—for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you still call it CRUTECH or have embraced the new name UNICROSS, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, school fees, and the breakdown of courses across its four campuses.

Is it CRUTECH or UNICROSS?

Before we dive into the admission stats, let’s clear the confusion. The institution has been officially renamed the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS).

• Why does this matter? While many students still search for “CRUTECH Cut-off Mark,” your admission letter and certificate will bear UNICROSS. The change reflects the university’s expansion beyond just “Technology” to include more comprehensive courses.

UNICROSS Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for UNICROSS for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a university that is a heavy hitter in Engineering, Architecture, and Visual Arts. Operating a Multi-Campus System, the university brings education to every corner of the state. Below are the admission stats for the 2026/2027 academic year.

UNICROSS JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has set the official and accepted UNICROSS 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 be eligible for the Post-UTME screening. Scoring 140 qualifies you to apply for most courses in Agriculture, Education, and Science.

• The “Tech” Benchmark: UNICROSS is famous for Engineering. For courses like Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Architecture, a score of 140 is risky. You should aim for 160 to 180+ to be safe on the merit list.

• First Choice Policy: UNICROSS generally requires you to choose them as your First Choice. If they are your Second Choice, you must do a Change of Institution immediately.
