FUAM Cut-off Mark 2025/2026 [UPDATED]

The Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi (FUAM) offers admission to qualified candidates through JAMB. FUAM Cut-off Mark 2025/2026 will most likely follow same pattern with other years in this years admission process. Every year, FUAM admits students into its various undergraduate programs based on performance in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), post-UTME screening, and academic qualifications.

The university is now known as Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi (JOSTUM). To be eligible, a candidate must first select FUAM as a first-choice institution during JAMB registration. After writing the UTME, the candidate must score at least the university’s cut-off mark. Next, FUAM conducts a post-UTME screening. This screening may involve an online form submission or a written exam, depending on the year’s admission process.

Candidates are assessed using a combination of UTME scores, post-UTME results (if applicable), and O’level results. Some programs may weigh these components differently. Admission into competitive courses requires higher scores. Once shortlisted, successful candidates receive admission offers through the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). They must then accept the offer on the JAMB portal and proceed with the school’s registration process.

In this post we will offer you all the necessary information you need to know about this year’s admission process, especially with respect to FUAM cut-off mark for all courses in the institution. Read till the end.

What Is a Cut-Off Mark?

A cut-off mark is the minimum score a candidate must attain in an examination to be considered for admission. In the context of university admission in Nigeria, it usually refers to the minimum UTME score required to be eligible for post-UTME screening or direct admission consideration.

Each university determines its own cut-off mark annually. Some schools may also set specific cut-off marks for individual departments or courses. Scoring below the required cut-off mark means a candidate is not eligible for admission into that institution for that year.

FUAM Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026 Admission

For the 2025/2026 academic session, the general cut-off mark for admission into FUAM is 150. This means candidates who score 150 and above in the UTME are eligible to apply for the university’s post-UTME screening exercise.

However, some courses may require higher scores due to competition. For example, courses like Agricultural Economics, Mechanical Engineering, and Microbiology may have departmental cut-off marks ranging from 160 to 180. The university will release the specific departmental cut-off marks after the post-UTME registration begins.

Candidates are advised to aim for high UTME scores to increase their chances of admission, especially for competitive programs.
