Kwara State University JAMB Cut Off Mark 2024/2025

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) cut-off marks significantly determine admission into Nigerian universities. It serves as a benchmark to assess the eligibility of candidates seeking admission. In this context, we’ll explore the basics of JAMB cut-off marks for universities.

Institutional Autonomy: While JAMB sets a general cut-off mark, it’s important to note that individual universities have the autonomy to set their specific cut-off marks. Some universities may choose to adopt the JAMB general cut-off mark, while others may set higher cut-off marks based on the competitiveness of their courses and the number of available slots.

Admission Criteria: JAMB scores are just one aspect of the admission criteria. Universities may consider additional factors, including post-UTME scores, O’level results, and other specific requirements for different courses. It’s essential for candidates to familiarize themselves with the admission policies of the universities they are applying to.

Kwasu Departmental Cut-off Mark

There is this idea that there is a general cut-off mark for gaining admission into all the departments of the Kwara State University. This is actually misleading. The co-called cut-off mark grants one the liberty to procure the school’s Post UTME form. Yet, it does very little to guarantee admission.

In order to be clearer, the school authority has come out to announce the cut-off marks for their various departments. We will be taking you through the departmental cut-off marks as set by the school and as recognized by JAMB.

Departments: Cut-off Marks and Prefered Score Range

The general cut-off mark which has been set for candidates to meet before qualifying to apply for the school’s post-UTME screening is 180. However, there has been a repeated pattern that has come to be the norm in the school’s admission process.
