Gregory University, Uturu (GUU) is a private university in Abia State that offers more than 50 accredited undergraduate programmes spread across 12 colleges. Every candidate who wants a place in any of these programmes needs to understand two things: the JAMB cut-off mark that applies nationally, and how Gregory University applies that benchmark to its own admission process. This article explains both, lists the courses offered by department, and shows the cut-off pattern for each course category.

Gregory University JAMB Cut-Off Mark for 2026/2027

JAMB fixes a national minimum score every year during its annual Policy Meeting on Admissions. For the 2026/2027 academic session, JAMB retained 150 as the minimum admissible score for university admission across Nigeria. This means no university, Gregory University included, can admit a candidate who scores below 150 in the UTME.

Gregory University adopts this national baseline as its general entry requirement. A candidate who scores 150 or above in the UTME and lists Gregory University as first choice qualifies to proceed to the university’s Post-UTME screening exercise. The university does not publish a separate, fixed JAMB cut-off mark for each of its 50-plus courses. Instead, it applies one institutional minimum for eligibility, and actual admission into a specific course depends on how competitive that course is in a given session, the number of available slots, and how the candidate’s aggregate score (JAMB score, Post-UTME score, and O’level results combined) compares with other applicants for the same course.

The one clear exception is Medicine and Surgery (MBBS). Because this programme has strict quota limits set by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) and NUC, competition for its available slots is far higher than for any other course at GUU. In practice, successful candidates for Medicine and Surgery at Gregory University typically score well above the general minimum, usually from 220 upward, though the exact figure that eventually secures a slot varies from one admission cycle to the next.

For every other course, meeting the 150 baseline makes a candidate eligible to apply, but courses in Colleges such as Law, Nursing Sciences, Engineering, Pharmacy, and Computer Science tend to attract more applicants than available spaces, so candidates who score comfortably above 150 stand a stronger chance than those who barely meet the minimum.

How Gregory University Determines Who Gets Admitted

Since Gregory University does not rank candidates by JAMB score alone, it is useful to understand the full admission process:

1. UTME registration and first choice. The candidate must select Gregory University as first choice in the UTME registration. Anyone who did not do this at the point of registration must carry out a Change of Institution through JAMB before the admission window closes.
2. Post-UTME registration. After scoring at least 150, the candidate registers for the university’s Post-UTME/Direct Entry screening through the school’s admission portal and pays the required non-refundable application fee.
3. Document upload. The candidate uploads a digital passport photograph, the UTME result slip, and O’level results (WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or an approved equivalent), from a maximum of two sittings.
4. Screening and aggregate scoring. The university reviews the UTME score, Post-UTME performance, and O’level grades together to arrive at an aggregate score for each applicant.
5. Admission list release. Names of successful candidates appear on the official Gregory University admission list, which the candidate can also verify through the JAMB CAPS (Central Admissions Processing System) portal.
6. Acceptance and letter printing. Admitted candidates log in to accept their offer and print the admission letter for registration.

Because admission relies on this combined scoring method rather than a strict per-course JAMB cut-off, two candidates who scored the same UTME mark can have different outcomes depending on their O’level results and Post-UTME performance.

Gregory University Cut-Off Mark by Course

The table below shows the JAMB score pattern for each course, grouped by college. The figures under “Minimum to Apply” reflect the national baseline that applies to every course at Gregory University, while “Typical Competitive Range” reflects the scores that give a candidate a realistic chance based on how competitive each course has been in recent admission cycles.

College	Course	Minimum to Apply	Typical Competitive Range
Law	LL.B Public Law / Private Law	150	180–220
Medicine (Basic Medical Sciences)	MBBS Medicine and Surgery	150	220 and above
Medicine (Basic Medical Sciences)	Medical Biochemistry, Physiology, Anatomy	150	170–200
Basic Clinical Sciences	Medical Microbiology, Anatomical Pathology	150	170–200
Allied Health Sciences	Nursing Sciences	150	180–210
Allied Health Sciences	Medical Laboratory Sciences, Radiography, Physiotherapy, Public Health, Optometry	150	170–190

These ranges are a guide based on the general competitiveness of each course over recent admission cycles, not an official published departmental cut-off from the university. A score of 150 makes a candidate eligible to apply and sit for screening in any course, but scoring within or above the competitive range gives a stronger chance of actually securing a slot, especially in high-demand programmes like Medicine, Law, Nursing, and the Engineering courses.

O’Level and Post-UTME Requirements

Beyond the JAMB score, Gregory University requires candidates to hold at least five credit passes in relevant subjects, which must include English Language and Mathematics, at WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or an equivalent examination, obtained in no more than two sittings. Candidates must also be at least 16 years old in the year of admission, in line with the age policy set at the JAMB Policy Meeting. Subject requirements differ by course; for example, Medicine and Surgery requires credits in English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, while Law requires English, Literature-in-English, and other relevant arts or social science subjects. Candidates should confirm the exact subject combination for their intended course in the JAMB brochure or on Gregory University’s admissions page before applying.

FAQs

What is the general JAMB cut-off mark for Gregory University? 150, in line with the national minimum JAMB set for university admissions for the 2026/2027 session.

Does Gregory University have a different cut-off mark for each course? No fixed, separate cut-off mark exists for each of its 50-plus courses. One institutional minimum of 150 applies for eligibility, and admission into a specific course then depends on aggregate performance and how competitive that course is.

What is the cut-off mark for Medicine and Surgery at Gregory University? Successful candidates typically score from 220 and above, since Medicine and Surgery has limited MDCN-approved slots and draws the highest number of applicants relative to space available.

Can a candidate with exactly 150 gain admission into any course? A score of 150 qualifies a candidate to apply and sit for Post-UTME screening, but actual admission, especially into competitive courses like Law, Nursing, Pharmacy, or Engineering, depends on how that score compares with other applicants once O’level results and Post-UTME performance are factored in.

How many courses does Gregory University offer in total? Gregory University offers 56 accredited undergraduate programmes across 12 colleges, covering Law, Medicine, Allied Health Sciences, Pharmacy, Agriculture, Education, Humanities, Environmental Sciences, Natural and Applied Sciences, Engineering, and Social and Management Sciences.
