Then understanding the cut-off mark for admission is crucial. But with information scattered across the web, it can be confusing.

The Official JAMB Cut-Off Mark:
As of today, October 26, 2023, FUNAAB hasn’t announced their departmental cut-off marks for the 2024/2025 academic session.
However, the minimum JAMB cut-off mark for all programs is 160. This means securing at least 160 in your UTME is mandatory for eligibility, but it’s not a guarantee for securing a spot in Medicine.
FUNAAB, like most competitive universities, sets departmental cut-off marks separate from the JAMB requirement.
These departmental thresholds are usually significantly higher than the university-wide mark, especially for popular courses like Medicine.
While the official 2024 cut-off for Medicine hasn’t been released, expect it to be considerably higher than 160.
What You Can Do Now:
While the official cut-off is yet to be announced, here are some proactive steps:
- Aim high in your JAMB: Scoring closer to 300 in UTME significantly boosts your chances.
- Stay updated: Regularly check FUNAAB’s official website and admission portal for announcements.
- Consider Post-UTME performance: Excellent performance in the university’s Post-UTME screening can strengthen your application.
- Prepare for competition: Focus on subjects relevant to Medicine and practice past Post-UTME questions.
FAQs:
When will the official cut-off mark for Medicine be released?
Historically, FUNAAB releases Departmental cut-off marks alongside the Post-UTME screening announcement, usually around May/June.
What is the average cut-off mark for Medicine in previous years?
Due to varying applicant pools and program capacities, past cut-offs may not be a reliable indicator. Aiming above 280 in UTME is recommended.
Does FUNAAB consider catchment areas?
Yes, indigenes of Ogun State and its neighboring states may have a slight advantage due to the “catchment area” policy. However, academic merit remains the primary selection criterion.
What are my chances if I don’t meet the cut-off for Medicine?
Consider alternative courses within your desired field or explore other universities offering Medicine. Remember, there are various paths to pursuing your medical dream.
