As an aspiring student of UNICROSS, it is important to understand the entire cut off mark structure of the university. It plays a major role in the admission process of the university, as failure to meet the minimum cut off of your courses automatically disqualifies you for the Post UTME screening exercise.
The 2025/2026 minimum cut off mark for most courses is 150, but for competitive courses, you need more than 150 to be eligible. This includes courses in the Engineering and Basic Medical Science faculty.
