JAMB Cut Off Mark for Federal University Gusau 2026

The JAMB cut-off mark is always very important for all prospective applicants to know and understand how it affects their admission before applying to any institution for admission. The JAMB cut-off mark determines whether a candidate is qualified to participate in the admission process, while departmental cut-off points help the university decide who finally gets admitted based on merit, catchment area, and educationally less advantaged (ELDS) considerations. The cut-off mark is used by the university to decide which candidates are qualified to move forward in the admission process.

The Federal University Gusau (FUGUS) is one of Nigeria’s fast-growing federal universities, attracting thousands of applicants every year. Because admission into FUGUS is competitive, understanding the official JAMB cut-off mark and departmental cut-off points is very important for all prospective candidates. Meeting the cut-off mark does not mean admission is guaranteed. It only means you are qualified to be considered.
