Every admission season comes with its own numbers game, and for Umaru Musa Yar’adua University, those numbers are now out in the open. Whether you’re aiming for MBBS or French, Law or Forestry, your score will decide if you make it past the first hurdle.

Now, back to the part everyone’s eyes are on — the cut-off marks.

What This Means for You
If your score matches or beats the mark for your chosen course, you’re still in the race. Fall short, and it’s time to either change course or try again next year.
For the full admission guide, check the UMYU Post-UTME form details or visit the official UMYU website. You can also ring the admissions office — though be ready, the lines can be busy this period.
Better to know your number now than to be caught dreaming later. After all, admission lists don’t have space for “almost made it.”
