UDUSOK Cut Off Mark 2025/2026 Admission Exercise

So, you’ve checked your JAMB result, now what? The big question is whether you hit the cut off mark for your chosen school. If Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUSOK) is at the top of your list, this is for you.

For the 2025/2026 session, UDUSOK has put out the scores you need to move forward with your application. These numbers aren’t just random, they decide if you’re still in the running or if it’s time to start looking at other options. The university looks at a few things here, like the course you picked and even your state of origin, before setting these marks.

Scroll down and you’ll find the exact cut off mark for your department, plus what you need to do next if you want that admission letter.

One more thing before you dive in: UDUSOK gives priority to candidates who picked them as first choice in JAMB. If you didn’t, don’t panic. Just head to the nearest JAMB centre and apply for a change of institution. That way, you’re still in the game.

The table below shows the official Merit, ELDS, and Catchment cut off marks for each course.

What Do Merit, ELDS, and Catchment Mean?

UDUSOK uses three admission categories:

• Merit
  This is the highest requirement. You compete here when you are not from a catchment area or an ELDS state.

• ELDS
  ELDS means Educationally Less Developed States. Candidates from these states enjoy slightly lower cut off marks.

• Catchment
  This applies to candidates from neighbouring states such as Sokoto, Kebbi, and Zamfara. They also benefit from reduced scores.

This system helps balance fairness and regional access.
