Knowing AAU’s cut-off marks is a step to know if you are qualify for admission in the University. These benchmarks aren’t just numbers; they’re stepping stones leading you to your dream department and the exciting world of university life.
Since its founding in 1981, AAU has been a lighthouse of learning in Nigeria. Named after the esteemed Professor Ambrose Folorunsho Alli, the university carries forward his vision of academic excellence and accessibility, welcoming passionate students to pursue their dreams.
To uphold this commitment, the University Admission Board (UAB) regularly sets cut-off marks for various faculties, ensuring that students admitted possess the potential to thrive in their chosen fields. Understanding these scores is crucial for you to plan your path to AAU.
Think of cut-off marks as filters. They determine the minimum scores you need to reach – both in the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exam and in your desired department – to be considered for admission at AAU. Meeting these benchmarks doesn’t guarantee a seat, but it opens the door to further assessment through the post-UTME screening process.
AAU JAMB Cut Off Mark
JAMB sets a minimum score of 160 out of 400 for all universities in Nigeria, including AAU. This acts as a starting point, ensuring a certain level of academic preparedness across institutions.
AAU DEPARTMENTAL CUT OFF MARK & JAMB Score
While the JAMB sets a national baseline, each department at AAU has its own unique cut-off mark. These scores tend to be higher than the JAMB benchmark, reflecting the specific demands and competitiveness of each program. For example, courses like Law or Medicine have significantly higher cut-off marks compared to others.
