What is FUNAAB Cut-off Mark 2021?

Permit me to quickly explain what the cut-off mark is and why Universities in Nigeria use it as a yardstick for admission. Cut off mark is a simple English word that means a designated limit beyond which something cannot function or must be terminated.

FUNAAB UTME Cut off mark is the required score from you by the university in order to gain admission to study your desired score. Those who sit for JAMB are called UTME candidates. This simply means JAMB is not the only way for you to gain admission into FUNAAB.

FUNAAB, JAMB UTME cut-off mark is 200 and may change depending on school policy. This cut-off is only applicable to some departmental courses in FUNAAB as some may require you to score above.

FUNAAB Admission as a Direct Entry Candidate

Direct entry applicants are candidates who had completed their studies in BSC, HND, ND, NCE, IJMB, JUPEB, Cambridge Advanced Level (A’levels), etc. Then later want to further their studies to university for their courses or related courses but this time to 200 or 300 level straight.

If you don’t belong to this category of candidates, skip to the next section. As a direct entry admission seekers, you must have equally obtained the JAMB Direct Entry form (not the JAMB UTME form).

You also must register at any available CBT centers across the nation. JAMB direct entry form usually comes out the very time UTME candidates are registering too. It was in the past that DE form came after UTME.

During the registration, your first choice institution should be FUNAAB as the university doesn’t consider second choice applicants.
