Official CUSTECH Osara Admission Guide 2026/2027
Official CUSTECH Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about the Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH), Osara, for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you are excited about their newly approved Medical and Law programmes or their strong Engineering faculty, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, the admission screening process, and the specific requirements for this Kogi State-owned institution.
CUSTECH Osara Cut Off Mark 2026/2027
If you are aiming for CUSTECH for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a university that is rapidly transforming the educational landscape in Kogi State. Located in Osara (Adavi LGA), CUSTECH is distinct from the older Prince Abubakar Audu University (formerly KSU) in Anyigba. CUSTECH is purely science and technology-focused (with the recent addition of Law). Below are the admission stats for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year.
CUSTECH JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses
The school management has historically set the CUSTECH JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 150.
Important Reality Check:
-
The 150 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to purchase the Post-UTME form. If you scored 150, you are eligible to register for screening for courses in the Faculties of Science, Computing, and Environmental Sciences.
-
The “New Courses” Factor: With the recent approval of Medicine & Surgery (MBBS), Law, and Physiotherapy, the dynamics have changed. A score of 150 is NOT safe for these high-demand professional courses. You generally need a score of 200 to 240+ to stand a realistic chance on the merit list for Medicine or Law.
-
First Choice Policy: CUSTECH generally requires you to choose them as your First Choice in JAMB. If they are your Second Choice, you should effect a Change of Institution on JAMB CAPS immediately to enable you to register for the screening.
