University of Maiduguri Departmental Cut-Off Marks 2025/2026

University of Maiduguri has released the official cut-off marks for 2025/2026 admission. Each course has its own score for merit and others, and meeting it is required before post-UTME registration. See full list below.

The University of Maiduguri has set the bar for the new admission year. These cut-off marks are more than just numbers on a page — they are the line between “try again next year” and “welcome to campus.” Whether you are aiming for medicine, engineering, law, or any other field, you need to check your course’s mark before taking the next step.

Why It Matters

Each faculty and department has its own benchmark. There are two figures for each course — one for merit (usually higher) and another for other categories. If you fall below your course’s mark, you cannot proceed to the post-UTME stage.
