​University of Benin courses

The capitalized word UNIBEN is a quick abbreviation from the federal University of Benin. This public institution is built in Edo state. It exists since the 1970s, however, its official name has been changed a couple of times since the foundation. It is also accredited by NUC (aka National Universities Commission) – the main governmental organization in Nigeria that is responsible for higher educational institutions, accredits them and their courses.

UNIBEN cut off mark

Cut off grades are set by different institutions to make sure only particular people enter their organization. The reason for this is quite clear. Like many other universities in Nigeria, the University of Benin sets a competition between all those citizens who wish to study here and chooses future students based on their academic success and examination achievements.

Usually, UNIBEN cut off mark is 180 points. However, do not be surprised if you are not accepted into this institution after scoring 180 at JAMB exams. Those students whose grades are higher are more likely to be admitted into their courses and faculty than Nigerians with the minimum cut off mark.
