FUD Cut-Off Mark 2026/2027; Federal University Dutse (FUD) has released the approved minimum UTME scores for admission into its undergraduate programmes for the 2026/2027 academic session.
The institution has adopted course-specific cut-off marks, meaning candidates must check the minimum score required for their chosen programme rather than relying on a general university cut-off mark.
Prospective applicants are advised to carefully review the approved scores for their preferred courses before proceeding with any admission-related activities.
FUD Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027 Admission
Federal University Dutse has assigned different minimum UTME scores to its programmes based on faculty and course requirements.
While several courses require a minimum score of 150, competitive programmes such as Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, Public Health, Computer Science, and related disciplines have higher cut-off marks.
Why Candidates Should Check Course-Specific Cut-Off Marks
FUD does not use a single cut-off mark for all programmes.
Each course has its own minimum UTME requirement, and candidates must ensure that their score meets or exceeds the requirement for their chosen programme.
For example:
- MBBS requires a minimum score of 240.
- Nursing Science requires 210.
- Public Health requires 190.
- Agriculture Science requires 150.
Candidates should therefore verify the exact score attached to their course before proceeding with admission screening processes.

Does Meeting the Cut-Off Mark Guarantee Admission?
No.
Meeting the minimum UTME score only qualifies a candidate to participate in the admission process.
Applicants must still comply with all admission requirements and participate in any screening or Post-UTME process that may be announced by the university.
Final admission decisions will depend on the university’s admission guidelines and available quotas.
What Candidates Should Do Next
After confirming that their UTME score meets the requirement for their chosen course, candidates should:
- Monitor updates on the FUD Post-UTME screening exercise.
- Ensure their O’Level requirements are complete.
- Verify that their JAMB and admission records are accurate.
- Follow all admission instructions released by the university.
Keeping track of official admission announcements will help candidates avoid missing important deadlines and screening requirements.
Update on New Programmes
Federal University Dutse has also announced that additional academic programmes are currently undergoing final approval.
According to the university, these programmes are being processed for inclusion on the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
Details regarding the approved programmes, admission requirements, and application procedures will be published on the university’s official channels once approval is completed.
Important Advice for Applicants
Candidates should always use the cut-off mark assigned to their specific course rather than relying on scores from another faculty or programme.
A score that qualifies a candidate for one course may not meet the requirement for another.
Before proceeding with admission activities, applicants should confirm:
- Their faculty and programme.
- The approved minimum UTME score.
- Any additional admission requirements.
- Post-UTME screening updates released by the university.
Taking these steps will help candidates make informed decisions throughout the 2026/2027 admission process.
