Searching for UNIABUJA Cut off Marks?
As the 2023/2024 academic session draws near, prospective students of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) are eagerly anticipating the release of the institution’s cut-off marks. The cut-off marks are a crucial determinant for admission into any tertiary institution in Nigeria, and UNIABUJA is no exception.
In this article, we will provide updated information on the UNIABUJA cut-off marks for the 2023/2024 academic session and other essential details.
UNIABUJA Cut-off Marks
For UNIABUJA, the general cut-off mark set by JAMB for the 2023/2024 academic session is 160. This means that candidates who scored 160 and above in the UTME are eligible to apply for admission into UNIABUJA. However, candidates must note that this score does not guarantee admission into the institution as each course has its specific cut-off mark.
The cut-off mark is the minimum score required by candidates in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to be eligible for admission into any course of study in a particular institution. It is calculated based on the performance of candidates in the UTME and the institution’s admission quota for the year.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is responsible for setting the general cut-off marks for all tertiary institutions in Nigeria. However, individual institutions are at liberty to set their cut-off marks higher than the JAMB’s benchmark, depending on their admission capacity and the competitiveness of the courses offered.
