EDSU Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for EDSU for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a unique institution.

Important Clarification: Do not confuse this university with Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma.

EDSU JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

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

Important Reality Check:

• The 140 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to purchase the Post-UTME form. If you scored 140, you are eligible to register for screening for courses in the Faculties of Arts, Social Sciences, and Science.

• The “Financial” Factor: Unlike federal universities, where the barrier is a high JAMB score (e.g., 300+ for Medicine), at EDSU, the barrier is often Financial Capability. Because the fees are higher (similar to private universities), the JAMB cut-off is kept reasonable (140-200) to allow access to those who can afford the tuition.

• First Choice Policy: EDSU is strict. You MUST choose Edo State University, Uzairue as your First Choice in JAMB. If they are your Second Choice, the portal will generally not open for you until you do a Change of Institution.
