⚠ Nigerian Maritime University Okerenkoko is a real federal university, but its name is often abused by scammers. Admission is ONLY through JAMB UTME/Direct Entry plus the official Post-UTME screening on eportal.nmu.edu.ng; the university does not sell admission and no agent can "guarantee" a slot or a paramilitary/cadet placement for a fee. Ignore WhatsApp/Facebook "admission officers" and look-alike domains — the official site is nmu.edu.ng, not any .com/.org copycat. Never pay a "school fee" or "screening fee" quoted by a third party — confirm every amount and payment channel on nmu.edu.ng first.

Entry Requirements
You need five (5) O'level credit passes (WAEC/NECO, not more than two sittings) including English Language and Mathematics, plus other subjects relevant to your chosen programme. Sit JAMB UTME (minimum 150) and make Nigerian Maritime University, Okerenkoko your first choice, then complete the university's Post-UTME screening. NMU is a paramilitary/maritime university — expect regimental requirements (uniforms, on-campus residency, drills) and, for some programmes, medical fitness. Confirm the exact UTME subject combination and any programme-specific minimum on the official JAMB brochure and nmu.edu.ng. Direct Entry (A-level/ND/HND/JUPEB/Pre-Degree) routes also exist for eligible candidates.
NMU JAMB Cut-off Mark (2026/2027)
The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150. This is the lowest score to be considered; the college also runs its own entrance examination, and departments frequently set higher cut-offs, so always confirm the current mark for your course with the school.
