The AAU cut off mark for 2026/2027 varies by programme. Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma publishes both a recommended screening column and a JAMB score column, with the lowest listed JAMB requirement at 152 and higher requirements for courses including Nursing, Mass Communication and Law.
The same notice states that admission cut-offs are based strictly on JAMB scores and that there will be no Post-UTME screening exercise. Read the two published columns as they stand; do not invent a separate test or calculate missing programme scores from a formula the notice does not supply.
General Cut-Off: The Lowest Listed JAMB Score Is 152
The lowest AAU cut off mark in the published course schedule is 152, paired with a recommended screening figure of 38. This applies to many programmes, but it is not a universal requirement for every course. Several departments have explicit higher values.
| Example Programme | Recommended Screening Figure | Published JAMB Score |
|---|---|---|
| English | 38 | 152 and above |
| Civil Engineering | 40 | 160 and above |
| Theatre and Media Arts | 42 | 168 and above |
| Business Administration | 43 | 172 and above |
| Computer Science | 45 | 180 and above |
| Nursing Science | 48 | 190 and above |
| Mass Communication | 50 | 200 and above |
| Law | 65 | 260 and above |
The Nursing row illustrates why you should not recalculate the table: the university prints 48 in the screening column and 190 in the JAMB column. Multiplying 48 by four would produce a different number. Preserve the published values and ask the university about any ambiguity rather than silently changing them.
Complete Published Course-By-Course Table
The following table transcribes the programme rows in the 2026/2027 admission notice. Dashes for Medicine and Surgery and Medical Laboratory Science mean that the notice does not supply a value. They are not zero, an invitation to use the general minimum or proof that a guessed figure is acceptable.

The AAU cut off mark schedule uses the department labels printed in the notice. Some labels group closely related subjects, such as Animal Science and Food Science. Applicants should still confirm the precise available degree option on the admission portal rather than assuming a combined label creates one new degree.
AAU Cut Off Mark: Missing Programme Figures
The absence of figures for MBBS and Medical Laboratory Science is material for applicants to those programmes. Do not fill those rows with values taken from an older session or another university. Also do not assume that the lowest 152 requirement extends to them.
Before paying, an affected applicant should obtain the current programme-specific eligibility instruction directly from admissions. Ask whether the course is accepting the intended intake and which score applies. Keep the response with the application documents so that the decision is based on an identifiable instruction.
A related health course should be chosen for its own qualification and career route. Admission into Anatomy, Physiology or another science programme does not guarantee a later move into Medicine, Nursing or Medical Laboratory Science. Any transfer process has its own requirements and available places.
Screening Figures Are Not A New Examination
For this session, the AAU cut off mark notice expressly links selection cut-offs to JAMB scores and states that there will be no Post-UTME screening exercise. The presence of a screening column in the table should not be used to advertise an aptitude examination that the notice says will not occur.
Applicants still need to complete the required admission application and provide genuine academic records. No separate exercise does not mean no eligibility checks. The university can verify results, subject combinations and other conditions before making or confirming an offer.
The AAU cut off mark table does not supply separate merit, catchment or ELDS columns. Do not create a lower category score based on an applicant’s state of origin. Nor should a departmental JAMB requirement be described as a guaranteed final offer: capacity and the remaining admission conditions continue to matter.
AAU Cut Off Mark: Course Decisions
Start with the row for the programme on your JAMB record. If your score is below its stated requirement, compare only alternatives for which you also have the correct UTME subjects and O’Level credits. A lower numerical floor does not remove a subject mismatch.
For example, 180 meets the listed JAMB condition for Computer Science but not the 200 requirement for Mass Communication. A score of 160 meets the Civil Engineering row but not the 168 requirement for Theatre and Media Arts. These comparisons illustrate eligibility only; they do not guarantee admission into the lower-threshold programme.
When using the AAU cut off mark table, do not round your score upwards. An actual result of 151 does not become 152 because the difference looks small. If the university later changes a requirement, rely on the explicit new notice rather than an informal assurance that the gap will be ignored.
Application Fee, Records And Historical Dates
The current admission notice states a ₦5,000 application amount and directs applicants to the undergraduate admissions portal. Verify the generated payment instruction for the correct session and route before making any payment. A receipt from an unrelated account is not evidence of a valid application.
The notice also gives 30 June 2026 for result upload. As of 26 October 2026, that date has passed. It should be described as the published historical deadline, not an upcoming opportunity. An accessible application page alone does not establish that the university has reopened result submission.
For the AAU cut off mark application process, keep control of your personal email and phone number. Check your names, JAMB number, result details and programme before final submission, then save the acknowledgement and payment evidence. If a record needs correction, use the university’s designated route and retain the support reference.
For a different example of screening minimums, see BSU cut off mark. The FUNAAB post UTME guide also shows why fees and course scores must be checked separately for each institution.
After Applying: Admission Is A Separate Stage
Meeting the AAU cut off mark and submitting a form should be followed by monitoring the official admission channels and JAMB records. An application acknowledgement does not itself confer admission, and a provisional offer should be read together with its conditions.
If an alternative course is proposed, check the exact programme and any required formal change before accepting it. Do not assume an informal message settles the transfer. Save the official offer, acceptance instructions and receipts in a secure place.
Never pay someone who promises to alter a published score requirement or guarantee a place. Ask the university to resolve genuine questions about an unfilled table row, an unavailable course or a record error. A clear written answer is more useful than a confident claim in an applicant group.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is The Lowest AAU Cut Off Mark?
The published 2026/2027 table starts at 152 in the JAMB column for many courses. Other departments have higher requirements, so use your specific row.
What Are The Nursing Figures?
The table prints 48 for the recommended screening figure and 190 and above for JAMB. Preserve those values rather than changing one to fit an assumed formula.
What Is The Law Requirement?
The published Law row gives 65 in the recommended screening column and 260 and above in the JAMB column. These figures should not be transferred to another university’s Law programme.
What Is The Medicine Requirement?
The notice shows dashes for MBBS. It does not provide a confirmed score in that row, so applicants need a current programme-specific instruction before acting.
Will AAU Hold A Post-UTME Examination?
The current notice states that there will be no Post-UTME screening exercise and that admission cut-offs are based strictly on JAMB scores. Applicants must still complete the required admission process and satisfy the other conditions.
