Gombe State University (GSU) has released its JAMB UTME cut-off marks for the 2025/2026 academic session.
These figures determine who qualifies for the post-UTME screening and which courses candidates may pursue.
What is the GSU general UTME cut-off mark?
GSU maintains a general UTME cut-off range between 150 and 200, depending on the course.
This means candidates must score at least 150 in UTME and choose GSU to qualify for post-UTME screening.
However, some courses require higher marks within this band.
Which courses require a 150 UTME score?
Many basic programs fall under the 150 UTME minimum. These include:
- Accounting
- Chemistry
- Biology & Biological Sciences
- Botany & Zoology
- Business Administration
- Economics
- History
- Geography
- Education courses in Arts, Science & Social Science
- Sociology & Statistics
This broad base gives access to a variety of fields for candidates who meet the minimum requirement.
Which programs need 170 to 180 UTME?
Certain courses require higher entry scores due to moderate competition:
- Computer Science: 170 UTME
- Nursing: 180 UTME
If you score below these marks, admission to these departments won’t be possible.
Which courses require 200 UTME?
Professional and high-demand courses have a cut-off of 200. These include:
- Medicine and Surgery (MBBS)
- Law
- Pharmacy
Candidates aiming for these programmes must meet the 200 UTME threshold before considering other requirements.
Did GSU confirm these figures officially?
GSU has confirmed its general cut-off band (150–200) in recent admission notices.
Social media posts from the school community also support the 200 UTME cut-off for Medicine, Law, and Pharmacy.
Can I apply with a 160 UTME score?
Yes, for certain programs. You can qualify for:
- Education and Arts
- Basic Science (Physics, Chemistry, Integrated Science)
- Management-related courses
But Computer Science, Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy or Law require higher scores.
Are there any departmental cut-off marks beyond UTME?
GSU has not officially published separate departmental cut-off marks.
Admission generally follows UTME thresholds followed by post-UTME screening.
Final offers also depend on screening results, O’Level grades, and course capacity.
What steps should candidates take after checking these marks?
- Choose courses where your UTME score meets the cut-off.
- Log in to the GSU portal to register for Post-UTME.
- Upload your valid O’Level results—WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB (minimum 5 credits).
- Prepare for and attend online or in-person screening and document checks.
- Await the admission list, based on your aggregate performance and space availability.
Meeting these marks makes you eligible for post-UTME.
Final admission relies on your performance during screening and your academic preparation.
