Official PLASU Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about Plateau State University (PLASU), Bokkos, for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you call it by its popular name, “Solomon Lar University”, or its official name, PLASU, this guide covers the strict 160 cut-off mark, the significant fee difference for indigenes, and the details of their online admission screening.

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.

PLASU School Fees 2026/2027 (Indigene vs. Non-Indigene)

One of the unique features of PLASU is the massive subsidy for Indigenes of Plateau State.

Estimated Fee Schedule for Freshers (100 Level):

• Indigenes of Plateau State:

  • Tuition: ~₦30,000

  • Total Package: ~₦60,000 – ₦70,000 (Including charges).

• Non-Indigenes:

  • Tuition: ~₦70,000

  • Total Package: ~₦110,000 – ₦130,000.

• Acceptance Fee: ~₦25,000 – ₦30,000 (Non-refundable).

• Note: Students in Nursing and Med Lab pay higher fees due to clinical and laboratory levies.

Does PLASU Write Post UTME Exams?

Usually, No. PLASU typically adopts an Online Screening Method.

1. Registration: You register on the portal (postutme.plasu.edu.ng) and pay the screening fee (₦2,000).

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

3. Grading: The admission office evaluates your credentials. If you have the required Credits (including English and Maths) and meet the departmental cut-off, you are admitted.

4. Physical Verification: After admission, you will be required to come to Bokkos for physical verification of your Indigene Certificate and O’Level results.

Important Admission Tips

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.
