Admission into UNIBEN is competitive, each faculty has its own cut off mark. For example the general cut off mark for JAMB is 200.

- The availability of admission quotas in each department determines the cut-off point.
- Both JAMB and UNIBEN Post-UTME screening performances overall influence the cut-off marks.
- Additionally, UNIBEN admission policy also plays a role in determining departmental cut-off marks.
Additional Information

Conclusion
The cut off mark and the school cut off mark is what to consider when applying to these schools. Remember the minimum score to get into the programme or school of your choice is the cut off mark of the institution.
JAMB sets a general cut off mark for all schools every year. As I mentioned earlier, different schools have different cut off marks which is between 140 to 180 but can vary depending on the programme or type of school you are applying to.
Since competitive courses like engineering, law or medicine may require higher grades, you should aim for a score above the cut off mark.
Just like this institution has its own cut off mark, others may also have theirs which may be higher than the national JAMB cut off. Remember your chances of getting into the school and the course of your choice increases with your score.
