Are you dreaming of joining UNIBEN? The first question you need to answer is: What score do I need? That's where the UNIBEN Cut Off Mark comes in. It's your price of entry into the University.

One thing to note is that UNIBEN doesn't have one general score. There is a university wide minimum, but the main target is your departmental cut off mark. More competitive courses, like Law, Engineering, and Medicine, require higher scores.

There are two types of cut off marks you should know. They include:

  • Departmental Cut Off Mark: This is the minimum score required to be considered for admission into your preferred department.

  • General JAMB Cut Off Mark: This is the minimum score needed in order to participate in the Post UTME screening.

You can only be eligible when you meet the general cut off mark. Then getting admitted depends on the two cut off marks. So, if you love being at UNIBEN, let's check out this list of UNIBEN cut off marks for each department.
