JAMB Cut Off Mark for Computer Science 2026

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the approved cut-off marks for candidates seeking admission into Computer Science for the 2026/2027 academic session. Meeting the required cut-off mark is one of the first conditions you must satisfy before you can participate in any university's Post UTME screening exercise.

Apart from meeting the cut-off mark, candidates are also expected to satisfy the admission requirements for Computer Science, including the correct UTME subject combination and the required O'Level qualifications. Taking the time to confirm these requirements before applying can help you avoid mistakes that may affect your admission.

In this article, you will find the JAMB cut-off mark for Computer Science, the approved UTME subject combination, the O'Level and Direct Entry requirements, and the complete list of Nigerian universities offering Computer Science.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for Computer Science 2026/2027

The official JAMB cut-off mark for Computer Science for the 2026/2027 academic session is 180.

Candidates who score 180 or above in the UTME are eligible to apply for the Post UTME screening exercise at universities offering Computer Science, provided they also satisfy the institution's specific admission requirements.

It is important to note that while 180 is the general JAMB cut-off mark for the course, several universities may require a higher score because of the competitive nature of Computer Science. Candidates are therefore advised to aim for a much higher UTME score to improve their chances of securing admission.

JAMB Subject Combination for Computer Science 2026/2027

Choosing the correct UTME subject combination is just as important as meeting the required cut-off mark. Selecting the wrong subjects may make you ineligible for admission, even if you score high in the examination.

To study Computer Science, candidates are expected to register the following subjects in UTME:

English Language (Compulsory)
Mathematics
Physics
Chemistry or Biology

O'Level Requirements for Computer Science 2026/2027

Candidates applying for Computer Science through UTME must possess the required O'Level qualifications before they can be considered for admission.

The required subjects are:

English Language
Mathematics
Physics
Chemistry
One other science subject such as Biology or Further Mathematics

Candidates must obtain at least five (5) credit passes in the required subjects in not more than two sittings.

Direct Entry Requirements for Computer Science

Candidates applying through Direct Entry must possess any of the following qualifications:

Two A-Level passes in science subjects, including Mathematics; or
An NCE with Merit in Mathematics and one other Science or Social Science subject.

Applicants must also possess the required O'Level credits relevant to the course.
