UI 2026/2027 cut-off marks for Microbiology, Physiology and Nutrition
For Microbiology, candidates in all three categories — Merit, Catchment, and ELDS — are required to score a minimum of 50.625, making it uniform across the board.
Physiology has a Merit and Catchment cut-off of 55.375, while candidates admitted through the ELDS category need a minimum score of 52.00.
Human Nutrition and Dietetics carries the highest Merit and Catchment threshold among the three programmes at 58.125, with ELDS candidates required to meet a lower benchmark of 53.00.
The ELDS category is designed to support applicants from states considered educationally disadvantaged, allowing them to gain admission at a lower cut-off than those competing on the general merit or catchment basis. Catchment refers to candidates from states within the geographical zone of the university.
Prospective students are advised to cross-check their JAMB scores against the published thresholds and confirm which category applies to them before proceeding with any post-UTME or admissions processes.
