Official Anchor University Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about Anchor University, Lagos (AUL) for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you are attracted by its strong spiritual backing (owned by the Deeper Christian Life Ministry), its serene campus in Ayobo, or its reputation for zero tolerance for cultism and indiscipline, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, the admission screening reality, and the tuition fee breakdown.

Anchor University Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Anchor University for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a university located in Ayobo, Ipaja, Lagos State. Founded by the Deeper Life Bible Church, AUL is designed to be a citadel of learning that produces “Christ-like leaders.” It is the perfect choice for parents who want a secure, highly disciplined environment for their children within Lagos.

Anchor University JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the Anchor University JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 160.

Important Reality Check:

• The 160 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to access the application portal. If you scored 160 and above, you are eligible to register for screening for most courses in the Faculties of Science, Humanities, and Social & Management Sciences.

• The “Professional” Exception: Do not be deceived; while 160 makes you eligible to apply to the university, it does not guarantee admission into high-demand courses like Law, Nursing Science, or Computer Science. These courses are the “hot cakes” of the university. To be safe, you generally need a score of 200 to 220+ to stand a realistic chance on the merit list, as spaces are strictly limited.

• First Choice Policy: Anchor University is very welcoming. You do not need to have chosen them as your First Choice initially. You can apply first, and then do a Change of Institution on JAMB CAPS later to regularise your admission.
