Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) has officially announced its cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), setting it at 160, which is higher than the general mark of 150 established by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). The university's screening exercise begins on May 27, 2026, and will conclude on June 21, 2026. Candidates who chose UNIZIK or its affiliate institutions as their first choice and meet the cut-off mark are invited to apply. Additionally, those who did not select UNIZIK but scored at least 160 can also apply after changing their institution at JAMB CBT Centres. Direct Entry candidates must ensure their academic transcripts are submitted by the deadline to be considered for admission. The application process requires a non-refundable fee of ₦2,000 and emphasizes the importance of monitoring communication channels for updates. The university also opened applications for its postgraduate programmes, with forms available until September 8, 2026.
