Every year, thousands of students apply to UNIDEL, but not everyone gains admission. The cut-off mark is one of the major requirements that determines if a candidate is qualified to sit for the post-UTME screening and possibly get admitted.

For the 2026/2027 academic session, UNIDEL has officially announced its cut-off mark. In this blog post, we will explain everything you need to know, including the general JAMB cut-off mark, departmental cut-off marks, how to calculate your aggregate score, and frequently asked questions about UNIDEL admission.

This guide is written in simple words so that every student, parent, or guardian can understand clearly.

What is a Cut-Off Mark?

A cut-off mark is the minimum score a student must obtain in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to be considered for admission into a university, polytechnic, or college of education.

• The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) usually sets the general cut-off mark for all institutions.
• Each university can then set its own cut-off mark, which may be equal to or higher than the one set by JAMB.
• In addition, every department or course may have its own departmental cut-off mark, depending on the competition and number of applicants.

UNIDEL Cut-Off Mark for 2026/2027

For the 2026/2027 academic session, the management of the University of Delta (UNIDEL), Agbor, has set the general cut-off mark at 160.

This means that if you scored 160 and above in JAMB, you are eligible to apply for UNIDEL’s post-UTME screening exercise.

However, candidates should note that scoring 160 does not guarantee admission. Admission will also depend on:

• The course you applied for
• Your post-UTME performance
• Departmental cut-off marks
• The number of candidates competing for the same course

Important Note: Competitive courses like Law, Medicine, Nursing, and Engineering usually require higher cut-off marks. If you applied for these, you need to aim for 200 and above to stand a good chance.

How UNIDEL Calculates Aggregate Score

To determine admission, UNIDEL combines both UTME score and Post-UTME score.

Here is a simple formula:

Aggregate Score = (UTME Score ÷ 8) + (Post-UTME Score ÷ 2)

Example:

• If you scored 200 in JAMB, divide by 8 = 25
• If you scored 60 in Post-UTME, divide by 2 = 30
• Aggregate Score = 25 + 30 = 55%

The higher your aggregate score, the higher your chance of admission.
