UNN Direct Entry Admission Requirements for 2025/2026

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) provides a Direct Entry admission pathway for candidates with post-secondary qualifications, allowing them to gain admission directly into the 200 level. Eligible qualifications include A-Levels, National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND), and National Certificate in Education (NCE).

Candidates must present at least five O-Level credit passes, including English and Mathematics, and must have principal or advanced level passes or accepted equivalents. The registration for the 2025/2026 academic session closed at midnight on September 7, 2025.

The general cut-off mark for UNN was not specified numerically for Direct Entry, but it typically combines JAMB performance and Post-UTME scores. Specific departmental cut-off marks include Medicine and Surgery (314), Nursing (290), Law (297), Pharmacy (293), Mass Communication (200), Economics (180), and Education courses (160).

UNN accepts both Post-UTME and Direct Entry applications each academic session.
