FULAFIA Releases 2025/2026 Departmental Cut-Off Marks: Check Your Programme Requirements

Federal University Lafia (FULAFIA) has officially released approved cut-off marks for all undergraduate programmes for the 2025/2026 academic session. If you applied to FULAFIA, checking these cut-offs will help you know if you qualify for your chosen programme.

Cut-Off Marks Released

FULAFIA management has published programme-specific minimum JAMB scores that candidates must achieve to be considered for admission into various departments.

Why Cut-Off Marks Matter

Department cut-off marks determine:

• Admission eligibility: Scoring below cut-off = automatic disqualification
• Programme competitiveness: Higher cut-offs indicate more competitive programmes
• Your chances: Knowing cut-offs helps assess realistic admission prospects

Critical: Applicants scoring below the departmental cut-off for their intended programme will NOT qualify for admission consideration, regardless of other qualifications.

How to Check Your Programme's Cut-Off

Official Sources

The complete list of cut-off marks by programme is available on:

• FULAFIA official Facebook page
• University website (check Admissions section)
• Campus noticeboards

What to Look For

When checking cut-offs:

1. Find your specific programme/department
2. Note the minimum JAMB score required
3. Compare with your actual JAMB score
4. If you're above cut-off: proceed with application
5. If you're below: consider alternative programmes or institutions

Understanding FULAFIA's Admission Process

Meeting Cut-Off Doesn't Guarantee Admission

Important to understand:

• Cut-off is the minimum threshold, not a guarantee
• Many candidates scoring above cut-off compete for limited slots
• Higher scores improve your chances
• O'Level results, Post-UTME performance also matter

Complete Admission Criteria

FULAFIA considers:

1. JAMB score (must meet or exceed cut-off)
2. O'Level results (quality and relevance of credits)
3. Post-UTME performance (if screening is conducted)
4. Programme capacity (number of available slots)

What to Do Based on Your Score

If You're Above Cut-Off

• Great! You qualify for consideration
• Ensure you meet all other requirements (O'Level, etc.)
• Complete Post-UTME registration if required
• Monitor admission list releases
• Prepare to accept admission if offered

If You're Below Cut-Off

• Check if FULAFIA offers alternative programmes with lower cut-offs
• Consider related programmes in different departments
• Explore other universities where you meet cut-off
• Don't waste money applying if you're significantly below threshold

If You're Borderline (At or Just Above Cut-Off)

• Apply but have backup options
• Strengthen other aspects (excellent O'Level results help)
• Excel in Post-UTME screening if conducted
• Apply to multiple universities
