What is ESUT’s general cut-off mark for 2025/2026?
As someone who’s been through the rollercoaster of Nigerian university admissions, I know how confusing cut-off marks can get. Let’s clear the air.
For the 2025/2026 academic session, ESUT has pegged its general JAMB cut-off mark at 160. That means if you scored at least 160 on your UTME and chose ESUT as your first choice, you’re eligible to apply for post-UTME screening.
However, this is not a guarantee of admission. Think of 160 as the ticket to enter the race—it doesn’t mean you’ve won yet.
Why Does the Cut-Off Mark Matter?
When I was applying to ESUT, I realized early on that understanding the cut-off mark wasn’t just about meeting the minimum—it was about strategy.
Eligibility: Below 160? You’re unfortunately not eligible for ESUT at all this session.
Competition: Some courses have hundreds of applicants. Scoring well above the minimum improves your chances.
Post-UTME Screening: Only candidates who meet the general cut-off are invited for ESUT’s post-UTME. You can’t even move forward without hitting the mark.
ESUT Departmental Cut-Off Marks for 2025/2026
This is where the real decisions are made. Each department at ESUT sets its own threshold based on course demand, capacity, and previous admission trends.
Let’s explore the projected departmental cut-off marks for 2025/2026, based on historical data, official guidelines, and user-submitted results.
– Medicine and Surgery: 250+
– Anatomy/Physiology: 200+
– Civil, Electrical, Mechanical: 220+
– Agricultural, Metallurgical: 180–200
– Law: 240+
– Accounting, Business Admin: 200–210
– Marketing, Banking & Finance: 180–190
– Computer Science: 210+
– Biochemistry, Microbiology: 190–200
– All Education Courses: 160–180
These marks are not officially released yet but are based on last year’s trends and real experiences from past applicants, including mine. Keep checking ESUT’s official site for updated figures.
What Are ESUT’s Admission Requirements?
Meeting the cutoff is just one piece of the puzzle. Here’s what else ESUT expects from you.
O’Level Results: At least 5 credits, including English and mathematics, in not more than 2 sittings
JAMB Subject Combo: Must be correct for your chosen course
First Choice: ESUT must be your first choice in JAMB
Post-UTME: You must participate and pass the internal screening test
Some departments may require higher performance in Post-UTME to compensate for a borderline JAMB score.
Important Tips for Candidates Applying to ESUT
If I could go back and give my younger self advice, these would be my top strategies:
đź“Ś Tip 2: Know Your Subject Combination. Many candidates are rejected just for picking the wrong combo in UTME.
📌 Tip 3: Practice Past Questions. ESUT’s post-UTME often recycles past questions. Practicing them can give you a real edge.
đź“Ś Tip 4: Apply for Less Competitive Courses. If you’re struggling to meet the cut-off, consider a related course with a lower requirement.
📌 Tip 5: Monitor the Admission Portal. Some updates don’t make it to social media. Always double-check ESUT’s official website and JAMB CAPS.
