University of Maiduguri: Courses, Cut-off & Admission (2026/2027)
University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) is a Federal university located in Maiduguri, Borno State, established in 1975. It offers the 11 programmes listed below. The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150 — the college's own entrance exam and departmental cut-offs may be higher, so confirm with the school.
⚠ University of Maiduguri uses several genuine subdomains for admission (umstad.online for undergraduate, admin.safapply.com/cpgsunimaid for postgraduate, unimaidcdl.edu.ng for distance learning) which can look confusing — always check that any admission link matches one of these before entering personal data or making a payment. UNIMAID does not use third-party "runs" agents; all genuine admission and screening payments go only through the official portal's Remita/bank channels.

Sit JAMB UTME (minimum 150) and make University of Maiduguri your first choice, then complete post-UTME/screening.

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.
