Official Arthur Jarvis University Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about Arthur Jarvis University (AJU), Akpabuyo, for the 2026/2027 academic session.

Arthur Jarvis University Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Arthur Jarvis University for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a university located in Akpabuyo, Cross River State (about a 15-20-minute drive from Calabar city centre). AJU is designed to be a cost-effective alternative to public universities, offering a strike-free calendar in a very secure, enclosed environment.

Arthur Jarvis University JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the Arthur Jarvis University 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 access the application portal. If you scored 140 and above, you are eligible to register for screening for most courses in the Faculties of Natural Sciences, Humanities, and Management Sciences.

• The “Health Science” Explosion: Arthur Jarvis University has recently expanded aggressively. In early 2025, they received NUC approval for Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) and Radiography.

  • The Trap: Do not assume 140 gets you into these new “hot cake” courses. For Pharmacy, Nursing, Law, and Radiography, the competition is now significantly higher. To be safe, you generally need a score of 180 to 200+ to stand a realistic chance on the merit list

• First Choice Policy: AJU 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.
