Approved UNIMAID Cut Off Mark for All Courses 2025/2026: As part of the 2025/2026 admission selection process, the management of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) has officially set its general Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) Cut Off Mark at 150.
This means any candidate who scores 150 and above in the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination is qualified to apply for the UNIMAID Post-UTME screening exercise form.
UNIMAID Screening Cut Off Mark for All Courses 2025
While the general UNIMAID cut off mark is 150, individual courses have their own departmental cut off points based on the number of applicants and the competitiveness of the course.
It is important for all aspiring candidates to understand that 150 is the minimum benchmark fixed for UNIMAID admission consideration.
However, some competitive courses at the University of Maiduguri such as Medicine, Nursing, and Law may require a much higher JAMB score — often 200 or above to increase your chances of securing admission.
