General JAMB Cut-Off Mark

 

The general JAMB cut-off mark for admission into the University of Benin for the 2025/2026 session is 200.

Departmental Cut-Off Marks

 

While the general cut-off is 200, many competitive courses require a significantly higher score. Meeting the 200 benchmark does not guarantee admission into these programs. The final departmental cut-off marks are determined by the overall performance of applicants in both the UTME and the Post-UTME screening.

However, based on previous admission trends, highly competitive courses often have higher benchmarks. For instance:

• Medicine and Surgery: Often requires scores well above 200, typically in the higher range after the Post-UTME screening.
• Law: Another highly sought-after course with a competitive cut-off.
• Pharmacy: Also demands a high aggregate score.
• Engineering Courses (e.g., Mechanical, Electrical): These are competitive and usually require scores above the minimum 200.
• Nursing Science: Has a very competitive cut-off mark.

Candidates are advised to aim for a score well above 200 to increase their chances of securing admission, especially in these popular fields. The specific departmental cut-off marks for the 2025/2026 session will be officially released after the Post-UTME screening exercise has been concluded.

Post-UTME Eligibility

To be eligible for the UNIBEN Post-UTME screening, candidates must:

1. Choose UNIBEN as their first choice of institution in the JAMB registration.
