AKUM JAMB Cut Off Mark 2025/2026 Session
The management of AbdulKadir Kure University, Minna, has officially announced its JAMB cut off mark for the 2025/2026 academic session.
AKUM has set its general cut off mark at 160. This means that any candidate who scored below 160 in the 2025 UTME is not eligible to apply for or be considered for admission into AKUM for the current academic session, regardless of the course.
It is worth stressing that scoring 160 or above does not automatically guarantee admission. It simply qualifies you to proceed through the screening process.Â
The final offer of admission depends on a combination of factors including your UTME score, O-level results, and performance in the post UTME screening exercise.

How to Improve Your Chances of Getting Admitted Into AKUM
Getting an admission offer from any university in Nigeria today requires more than just meeting the cut off mark. Here are practical steps every candidate should take:
1. Score Well Above the Minimum
The cut off mark of 160 is the entry threshold, not the competitive benchmark. Given the number of candidates applying for limited spaces, aim for a score well above 160, ideally 180 and above, to stand out among other applicants.
2. Choose AKUM as Your First Choice
AKUM gives priority to candidates who listed the university as their first choice in JAMB. Choosing a different institution first and then changing to AKUM later may put you at a disadvantage during the screening process.
3. Upload Your O-level Results on Time
This point cannot be overemphasised. Many candidates lose their chance at admission because they fail to upload their results on the JAMB CAPS portal and the AKUM application portal before the deadline. Do this as soon as results are available.
4. Register for Post UTME Promptly
Do not wait until the final days of the registration window to register for the post UTME screening. Log in to the portal early, fill in your details correctly, and generate your acknowledgement slip immediately after payment.
5. Ensure Your Information Is Accurate
Mistakes in personal information, especially your name, JAMB registration number, or date of birth, can delay or invalidate your application. Verify all details before submission and ensure that your information on the AKUM portal matches what is on your JAMB profile.
6. Keep Checking the Portal
Updates, shortlist lists, and important announcements are usually published on the AKUM student portal or the official university website. Check regularly and do not rely solely on external sources.
