Published in UTME Cut-Offs 2 mins read

The UTME cut-off point is not a single, universal score but rather varies significantly by institution and specific academic program. For the 2024/2025 admissions exercise at Federal University Otuoke (FUOTUOKE), several education-related programs have a cut-off point of 140.

What are the UTME Cut-Off Points for Different Programmes at Federal University Otuoke (FUOTUOKE)?

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) sets a general minimum UTME score for admission into Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. However, individual institutions and their respective departments often set their own higher cut-off points based on their capacity, the competitiveness of the program, and the number of applicants.

Understanding UTME Cut-Off Points

A UTME cut-off point is the minimum score a candidate must achieve in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to be considered eligible for admission into a specific course or institution. Meeting this score is a prerequisite for candidates to participate in post-UTME screening exercises or be considered for admission.

Importance of Meeting Cut-Off Points

  • Eligibility: Meeting the cut-off point makes a candidate eligible for further admission processes, such as post-UTME screenings.
  • Admission Consideration: It serves as a preliminary filter, ensuring that only candidates who meet the minimum academic standard set by the institution are considered.
  • Competitiveness: Even if a candidate meets the cut-off point, admission is not guaranteed as it often depends on the number of available slots and the overall performance of all eligible candidates.
