What Are Cut-Off Marks?
1. Cut-off marks are the minimum scores from the UTME exam (like JAMB) that students must meet to be considered for admission into FUOYE.
2. The university sets a general cut-off (usually around 150 or 160) for most courses. That means if you score at least that, you can apply and take the Post‑UTME test.
3. Some courses are more competitive, so they need higher cut-off marks. Think of them like the “premium” courses—Medicine, Law, Engineering, etc.
Why Do Cut-Off Marks Matter?
Classicinfo report that it help the university choose students in a fair and organized way.
