The university has now released the approved JAMB UTME cut off marks for the 2026/2027 admission exercise. This guide helps you understand what score you need, what the admission categories mean, and how to know your next step after checking your result.

SSUES approved cut off mark for 2026/2027 admission exercise

What candidates should do after meeting the cut off mark

Candidates who have scored 150 or above should begin to prepare for the next stage of admission.

The next step is the SSUES Post UTME screening form, which will be released in due course. Applicants are advised to keep their personal documents ready, including JAMB details, O’Level results, and passport photographs, so they can apply quickly once the form is out.

What happens if a candidate scores below 150

Candidates who score below 150 have not met the minimum requirement for admission into the listed SSUES programmes.

Such candidates may need to consider other institutions or programmes that accept lower UTME scores, depending on available options during the admission period.
