NOUN Cut Off Mark 2026/2027 Academic Session
FAQs
1. What is the official cut off mark for NOUN 2026/2027 academic session?
The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) does not have a fixed cut-off mark like conventional universities. This is because NOUN operates an open admission system, meaning applicants are generally not required to meet a specific JAMB score to gain admission.
2. Is JAMB required to gain admission into NOUN?
No, candidates do not need to sit for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination to apply for most programmes in NOUN. Admission is primarily based on meeting the minimum academic qualifications, such as O’Level results.
3. What are the admission requirements instead of a cut off mark?
Instead of a cut off mark, NOUN requires applicants to have at least five (5) O’Level credits, including English Language and Mathematics, depending on the chosen course. Some advanced programmes may also require diplomas, degrees, or relevant work experience.
4. Can I still apply to NOUN if I scored low in JAMB?
Yes, you can still apply to NOUN even if you scored low or did not take JAMB at all. Since NOUN uses an open and flexible admission system, your JAMB score does not affect your eligibility for most undergraduate programmes.
