The management of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) has officially released the comprehensive minimum admissible benchmarks for the 2026/2027 academic session. Consequently, this timely announcement serves as a critical directive for all candidates who selected the institution as their first-choice destination in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

While reaching the basic institutional floor ensures that your profile enters the school system, specific competitive programs require much higher grades. Indeed, the absolute general baseline score required to process an application at the university stands at 150 for this cycle. However, applicants must realize that the admissions unit filters highly sought-after professional tracks using strict tiered parameters to maintain class sizes.

Official Departmental Cut-Off Breakdown

Because the university distributes its admission list slots systematically, candidate pools are divided into Merit, Catchment area, and Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS) categories. Accordingly, the official merit score benchmarks across prominent faculties operate under the following guidelines:

College of Medical Sciences

• Medicine and Surgery (MBBS): 240
• Nursing Science: 210
• Medical Laboratory Science (MLS): 190
• Physiotherapy: 190
• Radiography: 190
• Anatomy / Physiology: 160

The Faculty of Law

• Common Law: 200
• Sharia Law: 180

Faculty of Engineering & Technology

• Computer Engineering: 170
• Mechanical / Civil / Electrical Engineering: 160
• Agricultural / Chemical Engineering: 150

The Faculty of Allied Health & Sciences

• Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD): 210
• Veterinary Medicine: 160

Faculty of Management & Social Sciences

• Accounting / Economics / Business Administration: 160
• Mass Communication / Political Science / Sociology: 160
• Banking and Finance / Public Administration: 150

General Baseline Programs (150 Score Threshold)

• All courses under the Faculty of Agriculture.
• All programs under the Faculty of Education.
• Foundational Science tracks (Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Geology, Botany, Zoology).
• General Arts degrees (English, History, Arabic, Islamic Studies).

Essential Strategies for Screening Eligibility

Furthermore, meeting or exceeding the specified departmental score parameters anchors your profile directly to the primary merit lists. On the other hand, if your UTME aggregate falls short of the course limits listed above, you should act quickly to protect your admission year.

1. Execute Change of Course: You should visit an accredited CBT center to perform a JAMB Change of Course to a related discipline with a lower cutoff score matching your parameters.
2. Verify O’Level Credentials: Candidates must possess at least five (5) credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, in no more than two sittings.
3. Sync JAMB CAPS Profiles: Finally, ensure that your local cybercafé uploads your verified O’Level grades to your central JAMB CAPS profile, as the institution will not issue final letters to incomplete online accounts.
