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.

CUSTECH School Fees 2026/2027

CUSTECH is owned by the Kogi State Government, and fees are structured to be relatively affordable compared to private universities, though slightly higher than older state universities due to modern facilities.

Estimated Fee Schedule for Freshers:

• Indigenes (Kogi State): ~₦60,000 – ₦80,000

• Non-Indigenes: ~₦100,000 – ₦130,000

• Medicine/Law: Fees for professional courses are typically higher, often ranging between ₦150,000 to ₦250,000.

• Acceptance Fee: ~₦20,000 – ₦30,000.

Does CUSTECH Write Post UTME Exams?

Usually, No. CUSTECH typically adopts an Online Screening Method (UPASE).

1. Registration: You visit the portal (eportal.custech.edu.ng) and pay the screening fee (usually ₦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, Maths, and relevant Science subjects) and meet the cut-off, you are admitted.

4. Note: While screening is usually online, always keep an eye on your email in case the new Medical College introduces a physical aptitude test or interview.

Important Admission Tips

1. Beware of Scammers: CUSTECH has issued warnings about fraudsters asking students to pay school fees into personal accounts. Never pay money into any account other than the official university revenue account generated via the portal.

2. O’Level Upload: You MUST upload your O’Level results to JAMB CAPS. CUSTECH will not admit any candidate with “Awaiting Result” status on CAPS once the admission list is compiled.

3. Direct Entry: CUSTECH accepts IJMB and JUPEB. A minimum of Upper Credit (ND) or 9 Points (IJMB) is recommended for competitive courses like Engineering and Medicine.
