FAQs
What is the general JAMB cut-off mark for KSU for the 2025/2026 admission session?
The expected general JAMB cut-off mark for Kogi State University (KSU) for the 2025/2026 session is at least 160. Candidates who score 160 and above are eligible to apply for the KSU Post-UTME screening, although some competitive courses usually require higher scores.
Do all courses in KSU have the same departmental cut-off marks?
No. Each department sets its own cut-off mark based on the level of competition and the number of available admission slots. Highly competitive courses like Medicine, Law, Nursing, and Pharmacy typically have departmental cut-off marks between 200–250, while less competitive courses may range from 160–180.
Can I gain admission into KSU with a JAMB score below the departmental cut-off mark?
Generally, no. You must meet both the general JAMB cut-off mark and the specific departmental cut-off mark to be considered for admission. However, candidates who narrowly miss the cut-off may still be offered admission into a related course through the JAMB Change of Course option.
When will KSU release the final departmental cut-off marks for 2025/2026?
KSU usually releases the official departmental cut-off marks shortly after the Post-UTME screening results are published. Candidates are advised to regularly check the university’s official portal and trusted admission update platforms for accurate announcements.
