Getting a good JAMB score is only one part of the admission process. Before choosing any university, it's important to know whether your score meets the minimum requirement for your preferred course.
If you're planning to study at Sule Lamido University (SLU), the good news is that the university has released the official cut off marks for the 2025/2026 admission exercise. Knowing these scores early can help you make informed decisions about your admission options.
Whether you're applying for a science, education, humanities or social science course, checking the required cut off mark is one of the first steps towards improving your chances of gaining admission.
SLU Cut Off Mark for 2025/2026
Sule Lamido University (SLU) has approved 150 as the general JAMB cut off mark for the 2025/2026 academic session.
This means you must score at least 150 in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to be eligible for admission consideration.
However, some programmes are more competitive and require higher UTME scores. Meeting the minimum cut off mark does not automatically guarantee admission, as you must also satisfy other admission requirements.
SLU Departmental Cut Off Marks 2025/2026
A cut off mark is the minimum UTME score you must obtain to be considered for admission to a university.
For SLU, the general cut off mark is 150, but several departments require higher scores because they are more competitive.
Even if you meet the required score, you must also satisfy other admission conditions before you can be offered admission.
