Official ADUSTECH Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology (ADUSTECH), Wudil—formerly known as Kano University of Science and Technology (KUST)—for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you are searching with the old name or the new one, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, school fees, and the admission requirements for Kano State’s premier science university.

Is it KUST Wudil or ADUSTECH?

First, let’s clear the confusion. The university has been officially renamed Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology (ADUSTECH).

• Why does this matter? While you might still search for “KUST Wudil,” your admission letter and portal registration will carry the name ADUSTECH. Be sure to look for this name on the JAMB portal when checking for admission.

ADUSTECH Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for ADUSTECH Wudil for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a university that is heavily focused on Science, Technology, and Agriculture. Located in the town of Wudil, it is a specialised institution that prioritises STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses. Below are the admission stats you need to know.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has set the official and accepted JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 150.

Important Reality Check:

• The 150 Benchmark: This score qualifies you to purchase the Post-UTME form. If you score 150, you are eligible to register for most courses in Agriculture and Science Education.

• The “Tech” Benchmark: ADUSTECH is famous for Engineering and Computer Science. For courses like Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science, a score of 150 is often insufficient for the merit list. You should aim for 180 to 200+ to be safe.

• First Choice Policy: ADUSTECH strictly requires you to choose them as your First Choice in JAMB. If they are your Second Choice, you will not be able to register for the screening until you do a Change of Institution.

ADUSTECH School Fees 2026/2027

• Indigenes of Kano State: ~₦47,000

  • Note: The Kano State Government typically pays a percentage (often 50%) of the tuition for indigenous students, bringing the burden down significantly.

• Non-Indigenes: ~₦115,000

• Acceptance Fee: ~₦5,000 – ₦10,000.

Does ADUSTECH Write Post UTME Exams?

Sometimes. ADUSTECH’s screening method can vary:

1. Online Screening: Most years, they rely on an Online Screening where you upload your credentials (kustwudil.edu.ng) and they grade you based on your JAMB and O’Level score.

2. Aptitude Test: However, they reserve the right to call candidates for a Physical Aptitude Test (CBT), especially for high-volume courses.

   • Recommendation: Prepare for a test, but ensure your O’Levels are perfect, just in case it isan  online screening only.

Important Admission Tips

1. O’Level Upload: You MUST upload your O’Level results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) to JAMB CAPS. Admission cannot be processed without this.

2. Indigene Certificate: If you are from Kano State, ensure you have your valid Indigene Certificate to claim the subsidised school fees.
