The CCU Hospitality and Tourism Management cut-off mark is 150 in the UTME, JAMB’s minimum for all Nigerian universities in 2026/2027. Coal City University, Enugu has published no separate figure for the course. Hospitality and Tourism Management is on JAMB’s course list for CCU, but it is not on any programme list CCU publishes, and the NUC has no accreditation entry for it.
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 before you register it, you need CCU to confirm it is admitting. This page shows where the course appears and where it does not, the JAMB subject combination and O’level rule, the screening facts CCU has released, a worked example, and the places in and around Enugu where you can study hospitality or tourism if CCU says no.
Does CCU run Hospitality and Tourism Management?

|---|---|
| JAMB’s course list for CCU (Myschool reprint) | Yes, as “Hospitality And Tourism Management” |
| CCU Faculty of Arts, Social and Management Sciences page (last updated 31 August 2023) | No. Fifteen degrees are named, and none is in hospitality or tourism |

The faculty page names Accounting, Business Administration, Criminology and Security Studies, Economics, English and Literary Studies, History and Diplomatic Studies, International Relations, Marketing, Mass Communication, Political Science, Psychology, Public Administration, Religious Studies, Sociology and Taxation. Ask CCU’s admissions office to confirm, in writing or on the 2027/2028 portal course list, that it is admitting Hospitality and Tourism Management students before you register the course.

CCU Hospitality and Tourism Management 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 Hospitality and Tourism Management | 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 |
AbsTechConnect (25 May 2026) lists a CCU cut-off of 150 with no CCU notice behind it, which is the national minimum.
Safe target score (my advice)
My judgement, not a CCU rule. Hospitality is not a crowded course at university level in the South East, so a modest score is usually enough wherever it runs.
| Your UTME score | My read |
|---|---|
| Below 150 | Not eligible for any university; a polytechnic ND (minimum 100) is still open |
| 150 to 164 | Meets CCU’s floor; fine if the course is confirmed and your O’level is complete |
| 165 to 184 | Comfortable, and enough for UNN’s 160 floor for Archaeology and Tourism |
| 185 and above | Strong; most management courses at CCU are open to you |
Aim for at least 165. That clears CCU and keeps UNN’s tourism option open if CCU is not admitting.
UTME subject combination and O’level for Hospitality and Tourism Management
JAMB’s brochure entry for Hospitality and Tourism Management (Myschool reprint, checked 30 October 2026) gives one institution remark, for the University of Port Harcourt. There is none for CCU, so the general rule applies.
| Requirement | Hospitality and Tourism Management (JAMB general rule) |
|---|---|
| JAMB course name to register | Hospitality And Tourism Management (Coal City University) |
| UTME subjects | Use of English, Mathematics, Economics and any other subject |
| O’level | Five credits including English Language, Mathematics and Economics |
| Exams accepted | WAEC, NECO or NABTEB (CCU has not published its own list) |
| Sittings | Not stated by CCU; one sitting is safer |
| Direct Entry | ND or HND in a relevant programme; the brochure also lists degree or HND holders from other fields |
Choosing the fourth subject
Any subject is allowed. Geography is a sensible pick because tourism draws on it, and it also fits Economics and Business Administration if you change course. Commerce or Government work just as well. If you also want to keep IMT’s hospitality ND as a backup, note that IMT’s own remark asks for sciences; check our IMT guide before you choose.
O’level notes
The brochure names only English, Mathematics and Economics, leaving two credits open. Food and Nutrition, Catering Craft or Home Management credits are useful if you have them, since they show interest in the field, but they are not required.
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). The faculty’s programme list is cut off in the reprint, so I could not see whether this course was advertised. |
| 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 I only measure margins here.
Take Nneka, who scored 167 with C4 in English, C5 in Mathematics, B3 in Economics, B2 in Geography and B3 in Food and Nutrition in one NECO sitting.
- Eligibility: 167 minus 150 = 17 marks above the national minimum.
- Against my safe target: 167 minus 165 = 2 marks above it.
- O’level check: English, Mathematics and Economics are all credits; Geography and Food and Nutrition fill the other two. One sitting.
- Course status: she asks CCU first. If the course is not running, her 167 clears UNN’s 160 for Archaeology and Tourism, and her subjects fit Business Administration at CCU.
Admission odds and practical advice
- The course status decides everything: registering a course CCU does not admit into means a JAMB change of course later.
- Ask about facilities: if CCU confirms the course, ask where practical classes (kitchen, restaurant, front office) take place. A hospitality degree without them is weak preparation.
- Put the right school first: once you know which school will admit you, make it your first choice and 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 Hospitality and Tourism Management is admitting for 2027/2028. If not, register a course CCU does run, or another school’s tourism or hospitality course.
- Register the UTME correctly: choose Coal City University and the course “Hospitality And Tourism Management”, with Use of English, Mathematics, Economics and any other subject.
- 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 the degree involves
Accreditation
The NUC’s Accreditation Results 1990 to 2025 has no hospitality or tourism entry under Coal City University, and I found no NUC report page for one. Status: not confirmed.
What you study
CCU has published no outline. A four-year B.Sc. Hospitality and Tourism Management in Nigeria typically covers:
- 100 and 200 levels: introduction to hospitality and tourism, economics, accounting, business communication and food science basics.
- 300 level: food and beverage management, front office and accommodation operations, travel and tour operations, event management and an industrial placement in a hotel or travel firm.
- 400 level: tourism planning, hospitality marketing, hospitality law, facilities management and a research project.
Careers
Graduates work in hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, airlines, event companies, resorts and state tourism boards, or start their own catering and event businesses. In this field, hands-on experience counts for as much as the degree, so take every placement seriously.

Hospitality and tourism elsewhere
| Institution | Course | Minimum UTME score (2026/2027) |
|---|---|---|
| UNN, Nsukka | Archaeology and Tourism | 160 to screen |
| MOUAU, Umudike | Home Science, Hospitality Management and Tourism | 150, MOUAU first choice |
| IMT Enugu | Hospitality Management (ND) | 100 (polytechnic minimum) |
Read our guides to the UNN Archaeology and Tourism cut-off mark, the MOUAU Hospitality Management and Tourism cut-off mark and the IMT Hospitality Management cut-off mark. Note that IMT’s remark asks for Biology or Agricultural Science, Physics and Chemistry in the UTME.
Mistakes to avoid
- Registering before confirming: CCU’s own lists do not include this course.
- No Economics or Mathematics in the UTME: both are fixed by the brochure.
- Mixing up university and polytechnic rules: IMT’s ND has different UTME subjects from the university degree.
- O’level not on CAPS: no school can recommend you without it.
- Paying agents: apply only on CCU’s portal.

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.
