Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Akwa admission requirement, tuition fees and cut off mark

 
##UNIZIK JAMB Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026
For the 2025/2026 academic session, the general JAMB cut-off mark for Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) is 160, in line with the minimum benchmark set by JAMB for universities. Candidates who score 160 and above in the UTME are eligible to apply for UNIZIK’s Post-UTME screening.

However, applicants should note that highly competitive programmes—such as Medicine, Law, and Pharmacy—typically require significantly higher scores due to limited admission slots and strong demand.

Supplementary Admission: Those who do not meet the departmental cut-off for their preferred course may apply for less competitive programmes through supplementary forms.

O’Level Requirements: Applicants must have at least five credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, in WAEC/NECO/NABTEB, obtained in no more than two sittings.
