Official AKSU Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027 Admission Exercise

Official AKSU Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with the Akwa Ibom State University (AKSU) cut-off marks for all courses for the 2026/2027 session. All the necessary information you need concerning the AKSU JAMB cut-off mark, AKSU Departmental cut-off mark, and the admission requirements for the two campuses (Ikot Akpaden and Obio Akpa) is listed below.

AKSU Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Akwa Ibom State University (AKSU) for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are looking at a university that has rapidly grown in reputation, particularly in Engineering and, more recently, Health Sciences. AKSU is known for its discipline and serene academic environment across its two campuses. We are here to provide you with the official admission stats for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year.

AKSU JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has made a public notice that the official and accepted AKSU JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 150.

Important Reality Check:

• The 150 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to purchase the Post-UTME form for most faculties, like Agriculture, Arts, and Education. If you scored 140-149, you might not be able to register unless the school lowers the standard later in the year (which is rare).

• The “Health Science” Shock: If you are applying for the newly accredited Nursing Science or Medical Laboratory Science, a score of 150 is functionally useless. Recent trends show AKSU sets extremely high targets (sometimes as high as 260-290) for these specific professional courses due to limited slots.

• First Choice Policy: AKSU is very strict. You MUST choose them as your First Choice in JAMB to be eligible for screening.

Important AKSU Admission Tips for 2026/2027

To secure your admission into AKSU, keep these critical points in mind:

1. O’Level Upload: AKSU’s screening process relies heavily on your O’Level results. You MUST upload your WAEC/NECO results to JAMB CAPS. Candidates with “Awaiting Result” are often disqualified if they don’t upload before the deadline.

2. Specific Subject Requirements:

   • Marine Engineering: You need Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

   • Arts: Literature in English is compulsory for English, Performing Arts, and often for Mass Communication.

3. Screening Method: AKSU usually conducts an Internal Screening (evaluating your JAMB and O’Level grades) rather than a second exam. This means your O-Level grades (As and Bs) are your “joker.” A student with 5 As has a higher aggregate than one with 5 Cs, even if they have the same JAMB score.

4. Indigene Preference: While AKSU admits students from all over Nigeria, Indigenes of Akwa Ibom State often have a slightly lower cut-off mark on the catchment list.

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions about the AKSU portal, school fees, or the specific locations of the faculties, as our support team is always on standby to assist you.
