Madonna University has set its minimum JAMB UTME cut off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 150. This means candidates who scored 150 or above in the most recent UTME are eligible to apply for admission, provided they also meet the other requirements for their chosen course.

However, scoring 150 does not mean that every course at Madonna University is open to you. Some programmes have higher cut off marks because of their admission requirements and level of competition.

Knowing the cut off mark for your preferred course can help you decide whether to apply, change your course or consider another admission option. Below is the Madonna University cut off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session and what you can do if your score is below the required mark.

Does Scoring 150 Guarantee Admission into Madonna University?

No, scoring 150 only meets the general minimum UTME requirement for Madonna University.

Admission also depends on factors such as your chosen course, UTME score, O'Level results and the requirements of the programme. Courses with higher cut off marks require candidates to meet those specific scores before they can be considered.

For example, a candidate who scores 150 may meet the general university requirement but would not meet the stated cut off mark for Law, which is 190.

What to Do If Your Score Is Below the Madonna University Cut Off Mark

A UTME score below the required cut off mark does not necessarily mean that you have run out of admission options. You can consider one of the following alternatives.

If your UTME score is below the required cut off mark for your preferred course, you still have several options to consider:

  1. Change your course: Consider switching to a less competitive course within Madonna University. A score that may not be enough for Medicine, for example, could meet the requirement for another related programme.

  2. Change your institution: You can use the JAMB change of institution to consider another university where your score meets the admission requirement.

  3. Consider a polytechnic: Polytechnics provide another route into higher education. You can study for an ND and later progress through an HND, or another approved top up route.

  4. Apply for an NCE programme: If you are interested in Education, an NCE programme can provide an alternative route. From the 2026/2027 academic session, some NCE programmes may admit candidates based on their O'Level qualifications without UTME, subject to the institution's requirements.

  5. Consider IJMB, JUPEB or pre degree: These programmes can provide an alternative route to university admission. Successful candidates may qualify for Direct Entry admission into 200 Level, depending on the institution and programme.

  6. Consider part time, sandwich or distance learning: Some NUC accredited institutions offer these study options with different admission requirements. Check the requirements and accreditation status before applying.

  7. Sit for UTME again: If your preferred course is important to you, you can prepare properly and sit for JAMB again. A stronger score may give you a better chance of gaining admission into your preferred programme.

Madonna University Admission Requirements

Meeting the required UTME score is only one part of the admission process. Candidates should also have the required O'Level qualifications for their chosen programme.

Generally, applicants should have at least five relevant O'Level credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics where required. The relevant credits should be obtained in not more than two sittings, while specific courses may require additional subjects.
