For candidates seeking admission to AUI for the 2025/2026 academic session, knowing the official JAMB cut off mark and departmental score requirements is the critical first step toward securing a seat.

Keep reading to find all the information you need on the AUI cut off mark for the 2025/2026 academic session.

AUI General Cut Off Mark 2025/2026 Session

For the 2025/2026 academic session, the AIU cut off mark for UTME candidates is 160. This means that any candidate who scores below 160 in the JAMB examination is not eligible to apply for admission into AUI, regardless of the course they are interested in.

This figure places AUI in a reasonable range for private universities. It is achievable for focused and prepared candidates while still ensuring a baseline standard of academic readiness among admitted students.

It is important to note that meeting the cut off mark of 160 does not automatically guarantee admission. It qualifies you to apply and proceed to the university's post UTME screening. 

Your final admission depends on your performance in the screening exercise, your O-level results, and the available slots in your chosen department.

AUI JUPEB Cut Off Mark 2025/2026 Session

For candidates who did not write JAMB or who intend to gain Direct Entry admission through the Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) programme, Augustine University also offers a JUPEB pathway.

The JUPEB programme at AUI is a one year preliminary programme that, upon successful completion, allows you to gain admission directly into the 200 level without sitting for JAMB.

Faculty/Course Area

JUPEB Minimum Cut Off Points

Science Courses

5 points and above

Paramedical Courses

5 points and above

Humanities and Social Sciences

5 points and above

Management Courses

5 points and above

Candidates who score the minimum JUPEB cut off point of 5 are eligible to apply, but those with higher points have a stronger chance of securing admission when slots are limited.

How to Apply for Augustine University Admission 2025/2026

Once you confirm that your JAMB score meets the AUI cut off mark of 160, the next step is to formally apply for admission. Here is how the process works:

  1. Visit the official AUI website: Go to augustineuniversity.edu.ng and navigate to the Admissions section.

  2. Create a candidate profile: Register your details on the university's application portal.

  3. Fill out the application form: Select your desired course and faculty, and provide your JAMB registration number and O-level details.

  4. Pay the application fee: All payments must be made through the university's official website. AUI has explicitly warned candidates not to pay into any individual's bank account. This is a known fraud channel.

  5. Upload required documents: These include your JAMB result slip, O-level result, birth certificate or declaration of age, and passport photograph.

  6. Await screening invitation: Qualified candidates will be invited for the post UTME screening via email or SMS.

  7. Complete the screening: Attend the screening exercise on the designated date and location.

  8. Check JAMB CAPS: After screening, check the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System to see your admission status and accept your offer if granted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is meeting the AUI cut off mark enough to guarantee admission?
A: No. Meeting the required UTME score only makes a candidate eligible for further consideration. Applicants must also satisfy the O-level requirements, use the correct UTME subject combination and meet AUI's Post UTME screening requirements.

Q: What O-level requirements does AUI have in addition to the UTME score?
A: Candidates are required to have at least five O-level credit passes in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics where applicable, at not more than two sittings.

Q: Can I apply to AUI if my UTME score is above the required minimum?
A: Yes, provided you also satisfy the other admission requirements for your chosen programme. A higher UTME score can strengthen your application, but it does not remove the need to meet the university's other conditions.

Q: Can direct entry candidates use the UTME cut off mark when applying to AUI?
A: No. The UTME cut off requirement is for UTME applicants seeking 100 level admission. Direct entry candidates are assessed based on their qualifications, such as A-level results, NCE or other recognised credentials, alongside the relevant O-level requirements.

Q: Does AUI conduct Post UTME screening after setting its cut off mark?
A: Yes. AUI's undergraduate admission requirements state that UTME candidates must satisfy the university's requirements in a post UTME screening exercise for their chosen course.
