The Niger Delta University (NDU) cut off mark is the official minimum score that every UTME candidate must attain to qualify for the Post UTME screening exercise and admission procedure of the university.
For the 2025/2026 academic session, the minimum cut off mark is placed at 150, but competitive courses require more than 150 as UTME score. Candidates should also know that the number of applicants for a particular course and programme is what determines the cut off mark for the session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the cut off mark for Medicine and Surgery?
A. For the 2025/2026 session, candidates typically need a minimum UTME score of 250 to be eligible for Medicine.
Q. Does NDU accept second choice candidates?
A. No. NDU strictly considers only candidates who chose them as their first choice.
Q. How does NDU calculate the aggregate score?
A. NDU typically uses a composite of your JAMB score (50%) and your Post UTME score (50%).
Q. Can I change my course if I don't meet the cut off for my original choice? A. Yes, if you scored 150 but didn't reach the high bar for Medicine or Law, you can apply for "Change of Course" to a less competitive department.
Q. What happens if I meet the JAMB cut off but fail the Post UTME?
A. You will likely not be admitted into that specific session, as the Post UTME is a critical filter for the university.
