PLASU Cut Off Mark 2026/2027
If you are aiming for PLASU for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a university located in the serene, cool environment of Bokkos, about an hour’s drive from Jos. PLASU has grown rapidly in recent years, becoming a preferred choice for students who want quality education without the high cost of private universities. Below are the admission stats for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year.
PLASU JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses
The school management has officially set the PLASU JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 160.
Important Reality Check:
-
The 160 Floor: This is the minimum score required to be eligible for the Post-UTME screening. If you scored 160, you are eligible to register for most courses in the Faculties of Arts, Education, Environmental Science, and Natural Sciences.
-
The “Professional” Benchmark: Do not be deceived; a score of 160 will NOT get you into competitive courses. For Law, Nursing, Medical Lab Science, and Public Health, the competition is intense. You generally need a score of 200 to 230+ to stand a realistic chance on the merit list.
-
First Choice Policy: PLASU is very strict. You MUST choose Plateau State University, Bokkos as your First Choice in JAMB. If they are your Second Choice, you will not be able to register for the screening until you effect a Change of Institution.

-
Upload Credentials: You upload your O’Level Result (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) and JAMB details.

Important Admission Tips
-
O’Level Upload: You MUST upload your O’Level results to JAMB CAPS. PLASU will not admit any candidate with “Awaiting Result” status on CAPS once the admission list is compiled.
-
Indigene Certificate: If you are from Plateau State, ensure you have a valid Indigene Certificate. This is the document that saves you over ₦40,000 in tuition fees every year.
-
Change of Course: If you applied for Nursing with a score of 170, you are unlikely to get it. PLASU often allows students to switch to related courses like Biochemistry or Microbiology during the admission process. Be open to these options if your score is low.
Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions concerning the PLASU portal, acceptance fee payment, or hostel accommodation in Bokkos, as our support team is always on standby to attend to you.
