Is it KSUSTA or AFUSTA?

First, let’s clear the confusion. The university has been renamed Abdullahi Fodio University of Science and Technology, Aliero (AFUSTA).

• Why does this matter? While many students still search for “KSUSTA Cut-off Mark,” your admission letter and portal registration will likely list AFUSTA. Be sure to look for this name on the JAMB portal when checking for admission.

Located in Aliero, the university is known for its affordable fees and accessible admission requirements. Below are the admission stats you need to know.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the KSUSTA/AFUSTA JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 140.

Important Reality Check:

• The 140 Benchmark: This score qualifies you to purchase the Post-UTME form. If you score 140, you are eligible to register for most courses in the Faculties of Agriculture, Education, and Science.

• The “Competitive” Benchmark: KSUSTA is a science-focused school. For courses like Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Nursing Science, a score of 140 is often insufficient for the merit list. You should aim for 170-200+ to be safe.

• First Choice Policy: The university generally requires you to choose it as your First Choice in JAMB. If they are your Second Choice, you will likely need to do a Change of Institution to be considered.
