University of Benin (UNIBEN) Cut-Off Marks 2025/2026

Hi there! Navigating the admission process at the University of Benin (UNIBEN) can be challenging, especially when it comes to understanding the cut-off marks.

If you’re planning to apply to UNIBEN, knowing the cut-off marks for your desired course is essential. But before we dive into that, let’s get a brief overview of UNIBEN.

A Brief Overview
The University of Benin, popularly known as UNIBEN, was established in 1970 and has grown to become one of Nigeria’s leading institutions of higher learning. Located in Benin City, Edo State, UNIBEN is known for its diverse academic programs, vibrant campus life, and contributions to research and innovation.

The university offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses across various faculties, including Arts, Education, Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Law, Life Sciences, Management Sciences, Pharmacy, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences, and Medicine.

Cut-off marks are critical because they determine your eligibility for admission into various courses. From my research, I’ve learned that the cut-off marks are not only a reflection of your performance in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) but also play a significant role in the post-UTME screening process.

This article will give you a comprehensive overview of the general and departmental cut-off marks at UNIBEN, factors influencing these marks, and tips to improve your chances of gaining admission. Whether you’re aiming for Medicine, Law, Engineering, or any other course, understanding these cut-off marks will help you strategize and prepare better.

Let’s dive in and explore everything you need to know about UNIBEN’s cut-off marks!

What Are Cut-Off Marks?

Cut-off marks are the minimum scores required for admission into a particular course at a university. They are used to filter candidates during the admission process, ensuring that only those who meet or exceed these marks are considered for admission.

UNIBEN’s General Cut-Off Mark

UNIBEN’s general cut-off mark for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is set at 200 for the 2025/2026 academic session. This means you must score at least 200 in your UTME to be eligible to apply for any course at UNIBEN.

Departmental Cut-Off Marks

While the general cut-off mark is 200, each department at UNIBEN has its specific cut-off mark based on the performance of applicants in both the UTME and the post-UTME screening.

How to Calculate UNIBEN Aggregate Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026

UNIBEN uses a combination of UTME and post-UTME scores to determine the aggregate cut-off mark for each candidate. The formula for calculating the aggregate score is as follows:

  1. Divide your JAMB score by 8.
  2. Divide your post-UTME score by 2.
  3. Add the two results together.

For example, if you scored 240 in your JAMB and 70 in your post-UTME, your aggregate score would be calculated as follows:

  • JAMB score: 240 / 8 = 30
  • Post-UTME score: 70 / 2 = 35
  • Aggregate score = 30 + 35 = 65
