Apart from the general cut off mark, the institution gives admission based on departmental cut off mark. Each departments or course of study had its own cut off mark which is calculated based on your JAMB score, O'level Result and Post UTME score. The JAMB score takes 50%, the O'level Result takes 20% and Post UTME result takes 30% all making up a total of 100%.
The 50% mark allocated to your JAMB result is calculated by dividing your JAMB score by 8
The 20% mark allocated to O'level Result is calculated by taking five (5) compulsory subjects that are requirements for your course of study including Mathematics and English Language.
The 30% mark makes up your Post UTME examination.
