Introduction
Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) has released the official cut-off marks for all available courses for the 2025/2026 academic year. If you want to study at ESUT, it is very important to know the minimum score you need in your UTME exam. This score will help you understand whether you can apply for admission or not.
Every year, ESUT sets a general cut-off mark. This is the lowest score a candidate must get in the UTME exam before they can apply for admission. If your score is below the cut-off mark, you will not be allowed to buy the admission form or attend the Post-UTME screening.
General ESUT Cut-Off Mark 2025
The general cut-off mark established by ESUT for the 2025/2026 academic session is 160. This means all candidates who scored 160 or higher in their JAMB UTME can apply for admission into most courses offered by the university.
However, some courses require a higher score. These are courses that are very competitive and have limited spaces. For these courses, ESUT has set the cut-off mark at 200. These include:
- Medicine and Surgery
- Nursing
- Law
- Pharmacy
- Medical Laboratory Science
If you are applying for any of the above courses, your UTME score must be at least 200. If not, you will need to consider changing your course to one with a lower cut-off.
