Nnamdi Azikiwe University, commonly referred to as UNIZIK or NAU, has officially released its Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session. The institution also published detailed screening guidelines for both post-UTME and direct entry candidates, along with a firm deadline for application submissions.
Eligibility Requirements
Candidates who selected Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, or its affiliated institutions as their first choice in the 2026 UTME and achieved the minimum pass mark of 160 are eligible to apply. Additionally, candidates who did not initially choose NAU as their first-choice university but scored at least 160 can also apply, provided they visit any JAMB CBT Centre to change their institution of choice to UNIZIK.
Direct Entry Candidates
Direct Entry applicants must hold an OND, HND, first degree, or A-level qualifications in relevant disciplines. They are required to ensure that their academic transcripts are forwarded to the Registrar of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Hard copies of their JAMB E-slip, O-level results, and relevant degree or diploma certificates must be submitted to the office of the Deputy Registrar (Admissions) on or before Sunday, 21st June 2026.
Any direct entry candidate whose transcript is not received by the stipulated deadline will not be considered for admission. The university emphasized strict adherence to these guidelines to ensure a smooth screening process.
