The CCU Digital Entrepreneurship cut-off mark is 150 in the UTME, the national minimum JAMB set for universities in 2026/2027. Coal City University, Enugu has not published a figure for Digital Entrepreneurship, and nothing CCU publishes shows that it runs the course. It is on JAMB’s course list for CCU, but it is missing from CCU’s own list of degree programmes and from the NUC’s accreditation results.
2027/2028 update: CCU cut-off marks usually stay the same from one year to the next, so the figures on this page are what 2027/2028 candidates should plan with. They come from the latest official notice (2026/2027). If the 2027/2028 notice changes anything, we will update this page.
So treat this as a course to confirm before you register. Below I set out where it appears and where it does not, the subject combination JAMB uses for entrepreneurship degrees, the questions to put to CCU, and the CCU courses that come closest if Digital Entrepreneurship is not admitting.
Is Digital Entrepreneurship running at Coal City University?
| Source (checked 30 October 2026) | Is Digital Entrepreneurship listed? |
|---|---|
| JAMB’s course list for CCU (Myschool reprint) | Yes, as “Digital Entrepreneurship”, next to a separate “Entrepreneurship” entry |
| CCU Faculty of Arts, Social and Management Sciences page (last updated 31 August 2023) | No. Fifteen degrees are named and this is not one |
| CCU Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences page | No. It names Microbiology, Biochemistry, Mathematics and Computer Science |
| CCU “About CCU” page | No |
| CCU 2026/2027 advert (Myschool reprint, 18 May 2026) | Not among the eight science degrees shown; the Arts, Social and Management Sciences list is cut off |
| NUC Accreditation Results 1990 to 2025 (September 2026) | No entry for CCU |
JAMB listing CCU for both Entrepreneurship and Digital Entrepreneurship could mean two separate approvals, a renamed programme, or a course CCU registered but has not started. I cannot tell which from public sources. Do not register it until CCU confirms it is admitting Digital Entrepreneurship students for 2027/2028 and tells you which faculty runs it.

CCU Digital Entrepreneurship cut-off history
| Session | Figure | What it is | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026/2027 | 150 | JAMB national minimum for universities | Official (JAMB, 11 May 2026) |
| 2026/2027 | Not published | CCU’s own figure for Digital Entrepreneurship | CCU did not declare one |
| 2025/2026 | 150 | JAMB national minimum for universities | Reported by Nairametrics, 8 July 2025 |
| 2025/2026 | Not published | CCU’s own figure | None found |
Safe target score (my advice)
My advice, not a CCU rule. Because the course status is uncertain, your score has to work for your fallback courses too.
| Your UTME score | My read |
|---|---|
| Below 150 | Not eligible for any university this session |
| 150 to 169 | Meets CCU’s floor; fine for Business Administration or Marketing at CCU |
| 170 to 189 | Comfortable for any management course at CCU |
| 190 and above | Also competitive for Computer Science at CCU if your science subjects fit |
I would aim for 170 or more, and higher if Computer Science is your backup, since it is the most requested science course at most private universities.
UTME subject combination and O’level for Digital Entrepreneurship
Myschool’s reprint of the JAMB brochure page for Digital Entrepreneurship shows headings with no requirements under them, so I could not verify the official combination. Check the course on JAMB’s e-brochure when you register. Until then, the closest verified guide is JAMB’s entry for Entrepreneurship, which CCU also carries:
| Requirement | JAMB’s Entrepreneurship entry (closest guide) |
|---|---|
| UTME subjects | Use of English, Economics, Mathematics and one other Social Science or Commercial subject |
| O’level | Five credits including English Language, Mathematics, Economics, one Science subject and one other Social Science or Commercial subject |
| Direct Entry | Two A-level passes including Economics and at least one of Accounts, Business Management, Government, Geography or Mathematics |
| JAMB course name for CCU | Digital Entrepreneurship (Coal City University) |
Some universities run digital entrepreneurship from a computing faculty and ask for science subjects instead. That is why the e-brochure check matters: if the official entry asks for Physics, a commercial-class student would fail the UTME rule. English, Mathematics and Economics plus a science credit in O’level keep you safe under either reading.
How CCU screening works
| Detail | What is known |
|---|---|
| Admission advert | CCU invited applications into its undergraduate programmes for 2026/2027 (Myschool reprint, 18 May 2026). Digital Entrepreneurship is not among the science degrees in the reprint, and the other faculty’s list is cut off. |
| Application portal | portal.ccu.edu.ng (the “Apply Now” link on ccu.edu.ng) |
| Form fee | ₦2,000 according to AbsTechConnect (25 May 2026); CCU has not confirmed it in any source I could open |
| Screening date and format | Not published |
| Aggregate formula | Not published |
| Other routes | CCU also advertises JUPEB, IJMB and pre-degree forms for 2026/2027 |
| 2026/2027 deadline for private universities | 30 November 2026 (JAMB, reported by NAN on 11 May 2026) |
Worked example
CCU has published no aggregate formula, so this example only measures margins.
Take Chiamaka, who scored 183 with B2 in English, B3 in Mathematics, C4 in Economics, C4 in Physics and C5 in Commerce in one WAEC sitting.
- Eligibility: 183 minus 150 = 33 marks above the national minimum.
- Against my safe target: 183 minus 170 = 13 marks above it.
- O’level check: English, Mathematics, Economics, a science (Physics) and a commercial subject (Commerce). That satisfies the Entrepreneurship rule above.
- Course status: she confirms with CCU before registering. If Digital Entrepreneurship is not running, Business Administration at CCU fits her UTME subjects; for Computer Science she would need Physics in the UTME too.
Admission odds and practical advice
- Confirm before registering: fixing a wrong course later needs a JAMB change of course.
- Look at the portal course list: if CCU’s application form for 2027/2028 does not offer Digital Entrepreneurship, it is not admitting.
- Pick a fallback with the same subjects: Business Administration and Marketing at CCU take Economics and Mathematics.
- Make CCU your first choice once confirmed: use a JAMB change of institution if needed.
- Mind the deadline: JAMB set 30 November 2026 as the 2026/2027 deadline for private universities.
How to apply, step by step
- Get your JAMB profile code: send NIN, a space and your 11-digit NIN to 55019 or 66019 from the phone line linked to your NIN.
- Confirm the course first: ask CCU whether Digital Entrepreneurship is admitting for 2027/2028 and which faculty runs it, then check the subject combination on JAMB’s e-brochure.
- Register the UTME correctly: choose Coal City University and the course “Digital Entrepreneurship”, with Use of English, Mathematics, Economics and the fourth subject the e-brochure names.
- Upload your O’level to CAPS: do it at a JAMB-accredited centre as soon as your result is out. CCU cannot recommend you for admission without it.
- Apply on the CCU portal: open portal.ccu.edu.ng, fill the undergraduate form, pay the fee the portal shows and print your slip.
- Watch for screening: CCU has not published a screening date or format, so check the portal and ccu.edu.ng after you apply.
- Accept on CAPS: log in to efacility.jamb.gov.ng, choose Check Admission Status and then Access my CAPS. JAMB gives four weeks to accept an offer. Our JAMB CAPS guide explains each status.
- Pay acceptance and clear: CCU has not published its acceptance or tuition fees in any source I could open, so pay only what your portal invoice shows, into the university’s account.
Warning
Forum and classified-site posts sell “CCU admission forms” and list private phone numbers. Apply only through portal.ccu.edu.ng, never pay an individual for a “slot”, and remember that every genuine offer must show on your JAMB CAPS page.
What a Digital Entrepreneurship degree covers
Accreditation
There is no Digital Entrepreneurship entry under Coal City University in the NUC’s Accreditation Results 1990 to 2025, and I found no NUC report page for it. The status is not confirmed.
What you study
CCU has published no outline. Digital entrepreneurship degrees in Nigeria generally mix business and technology over four years:
- Business side: entrepreneurship, accounting, economics, marketing, business finance and business law.
- Digital side: e-commerce, digital marketing, web and app basics, data analysis and online platforms.
- Practical work: an industrial placement (SIWES) and a final project, usually a digital business plan or prototype.
Careers
Graduates start online businesses, or work in digital marketing, e-commerce operations, product and growth roles, fintech and startup support. A portfolio counts for a lot here: a store, an app or a client list built during your degree is the strongest thing you can show an employer.

Mistakes to avoid
- Assuming JAMB’s list proves the course runs: confirm with CCU.
- Copying a subject combination from a blog: check JAMB’s e-brochure for Digital Entrepreneurship itself.
- No science credit in O’level: add one if you can; it protects you under either version of the rule.
- O’level not on CAPS: CCU cannot recommend you without it.
- Paying agents: apply only on CCU’s portal.

CCU Digital Entrepreneurship cut-off mark: frequently asked questions
Does Coal City University offer Digital Entrepreneurship? It is on JAMB’s course list for CCU, but CCU’s own faculty pages and the NUC’s accreditation results do not list it. Confirm with CCU before you register.
What is the cut-off mark for Digital Entrepreneurship at CCU? 150, JAMB’s minimum for universities. CCU has published no departmental figure.
What JAMB subjects do I need for Digital Entrepreneurship? The brochure reprint does not show them. JAMB’s Entrepreneurship entry uses English, Economics, Mathematics and one Social Science or Commercial subject; confirm Digital Entrepreneurship on JAMB’s e-brochure.
Is Digital Entrepreneurship the same as Entrepreneurship at CCU? JAMB lists them as two courses for CCU. Neither appears on CCU’s own programme list, so ask CCU which one, if either, is admitting.
Sources and updates
The 150 national minimum, the 30 November 2026 deadline for private universities and the four-week CAPS acceptance window come from JAMB’s 2026 policy meeting as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria on 11 May 2026; the 2025 figure is from Nairametrics (8 July 2025). CCU’s absence from the declared list is based on News Central’s list of 2026 university cut-offs (11 May 2026). The JAMB course name comes from Myschool’s reprint of JAMB’s CCU course list, checked on 30 October 2026; the Digital Entrepreneurship brochure page showed no requirements, so the subject rules shown are JAMB’s Entrepreneurship entry. CCU’s programme lists are from its Faculty of Arts, Social and Management Sciences page (last updated 31 August 2023), its Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences page and About page. Accreditation was checked against NUC’s Accreditation Results 1990 to 2025 (September 2026). The 2026/2027 advert is Myschool’s reprint (18 May 2026) and the form fee is from AbsTechConnect (25 May 2026), which is unofficial. Checked on 30 October 2026; this page will be updated if CCU confirms the course.
I am Jude Chinecherem, a final-year MBBS student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I know what it feels like to want an education your family cannot afford. When my parents could not pay for my schooling, I had to learn how to find scholarships and work the system out on my own, with nobody to guide me. I came out the other side, and now I share everything I learned so the next student does not have to figure it out alone. This is the advice I wish someone had given me back then.
