The general JAMB cut-off mark for Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) for the 2026/2027 and 2026/2027 academic sessions is 160 for most courses.

Candidates must meet these cut-off marks and also satisfy O’Level requirements and participate in the Post-UTME screening to be considered for admission.

• Candidates must have chosen NSUK as their first choice in JAMB and scored at least 160 to be eligible for the Post-UTME screening.
