Fountain University JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the Fountain 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 Colleges of Management & Social Sciences (COMAS) and Natural & Applied Sciences (CONAS).

• The “Professional” Exception: Do not be deceived; while 140 makes you eligible to apply, it does not guarantee admission into high-demand courses like Nursing Science, Law, or Medical Laboratory Science. These courses are strictly regulated by professional bodies. To be safe, you generally need a score of 190 to 220+ to stand a realistic chance.

• First Choice Policy: Fountain University is very flexible. 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 regularize your admission.
