Benue state university also known as BSU located in Makurdi JAMB cut off mar for all courses that are offered in the institution for 2025/2026 session has been approved by the management of the institution.
This information is useful for candidates who chose BSU and sat for the UTME. This year marked the new dawn for universities in Nigeria and their new cut off marks.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) instructed all universities in Nigeria be it Federal or state to peg their cut off mark at 140. However, BSUM pegged their admission cut off mark at 150 and above in JAMB, 220 and above for Medicine Surgery, Doctor of Pharmacy and Law, 200 and above for Nursing, Radiography, Medical Laboratory Science and Radiation Science in the 2025 UTME.
Benue state university responded to this and reduced their minimum cut off mark, therefore, all candidates who selected BSU – Benue state university as their preferred choice of higher institution during the UTME registration can confirm if they meet the current cut-off mark for the institution.
Candidates who scored up to the minimum cut off mark and those who score above all have equal eligibility status to sit for BSUM post UTME aptitude test and if a candidate is successful, he or she is to wait for admission list to be released and thereafter confirm his or her admission status before carrying along, relevant documents to the university for appropriate clearance.

Candidates should note that the benefits of scoring above BSU cut off mark for 2025/2026 academic session is that it affords candidates a much higher chance of gaining admission into the institution after sitting for post UTME aptitude tests.
