The University of Abuja (UniAbuja) has announced its minimum cut‑off mark for the 2025 admission screening.
Every year, the school uses this mark to decide who can move to the next step after the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exam.
For 2025, all courses share the same cut‑off mark: 180 in the UTME exam.
What is UniAbuja’s cut‑off mark for 2025?
The minimum UTME score required to take part in UniAbuja’s post‑UTME screening for the 2025/2026 admission cycle is 180.
That means any candidate with 180 or above, who also chose UniAbuja as first choice, can register for the screening test.
Is the cut‑off mark the same for all courses?
Yes. Unlike some universities that set different cut‑off marks for each course, UniAbuja uses 180 as the minimum score for every undergraduate program.
Where does this cut‑off mark come from?
The cut‑off mark is decided by the UniAbuja admission committee. It must at least meet the general minimum set by JAMB, which is 140.
UniAbuja’s 180 is higher, to screen only serious applicants.
Is the UniAbuja cut‑off mark official?
Yes. The school confirmed that 180 is the official mark for 2025. Reputable sources and the school’s own admission portal confirm it. It’s not a leak or guess.
When will screening begin?
After the cut‑off mark is announced, candidates who meet the mark can begin to register for post‑UTME screening on the official UniAbuja portal.
When registration opens, the school will announce the date through its website and admission office.
Are there separate departmental cut‑off marks?
No. Unlike the UTME cut‑off, departmental or merit cut‑off marks are set after screening and may differ by course.
But UniAbuja does not publish those marks. They use them behind the scenes to award final admission offers.
What if I score below 180 in UTME?
Sadly, you cannot register for UniAbuja’s screening process or hope to gain admission if your UTME score is below 180. Your best option is to consider other universities or retake the UTME.
