Prospective students seeking admission into Edo State University, Iyamho (ESUI) can now begin preparing with clearer expectations, as the institution has officially released the approved JAMB cut-off marks for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Every admission season, one of the first questions candidates ask is: “What score do I need to gain admission?” The release of the official cut-off marks helps answer that question and gives applicants direction as they plan their next steps.
For the 2026/2027 admission cycle, ESUI has approved cut-off marks across its various undergraduate programmes, with scores ranging between 150 and 210, depending on the course of study.
ESUI 2026/2027 Official Cut-Off Mark Range
The university announced that admission consideration for programmes will fall within the following range:
General Cut-Off Mark:
150 – 210
This means that candidates who scored within this range in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) may be eligible to apply for admission into selected programmes, subject to meeting other admission requirements.
Highest Cut-Off Mark:
Medicine and Surgery (MB;BS) – 210
Among all programmes offered by the university, Medicine and Surgery currently has the highest required score, reflecting the competitive nature of medical admissions and the high number of applicants the programme typically attracts.
Understanding What a Cut-Off Mark Means
A cut-off mark is the minimum UTME score a candidate is expected to attain before being considered for admission into a programme.
However, applicants should understand that meeting the cut-off mark does not automatically guarantee admission.
Admission decisions are often influenced by several factors, including:
Performance in UTME
O’Level subject requirements
Availability of admission slots
Course competitiveness
Screening and verification processes
Institutional admission guidelines
For this reason, students are encouraged not only to meet the minimum score but to aim for stronger academic performance wherever possible.

3. Stay Updated on Admission Announcements

4. Consider Course Alternatives
If your score falls below the requirement for a highly competitive course, exploring related programmes may improve your admission chances.
