Gombe State University has officially released the approved cut off marks for the 2025/2026 academic session. Candidates seeking admission into the university can now confirm the minimum UTME score required for their preferred courses before proceeding with the admission process.

The cut off mark serves as the first admission requirement for all applicants. While meeting the required score does not guarantee automatic admission, candidates who score below the approved mark will not be considered for screening or admission into their chosen programmes.

For the 2025/2026 session, GSU approved cut off marks range from 150 to 200, depending on the course and faculty. Competitive programmes such as Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Law require higher scores because of the large number of applicants and limited admission slots.

GSU General Cut Off Mark

The general minimum cut off mark for admission into Gombe State University is 150. Candidates who scored 150 and above in UTME are eligible to apply for courses whose cut off marks fall within that range.
