IAUE Cut Off Mark 2026/2027
If you are aiming for Ignatius Ajuru University of Education—located in Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt—you are choosing a university that has transformed significantly in recent years. IAUE is no longer just for “teachers”; it is a hub for social sciences, management, and humanities. We are here to provide you with the official admission stats for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year.
IAUE JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses
The school management has made a public notice that the official and accepted IAUE JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 150.
Important Reality Check:
-
The 150 Benchmark: This is the general eligibility score. If you scored 150, you are eligible to purchase the Post-UTME form. This score works perfectly for most courses in the Faculty of Education and Vocational/Technical Education.
-
The “Competitive” Benchmark: For popular courses like Political Science, Economics, Computer Science, and Accounting, a score of 150 is the minimum requirement, but it does not guarantee admission. Due to the high number of applicants, you generally need a score of 180 to 200+ to be safe on the merit list.
-
First Choice Policy: IAUE is very strict about this. You MUST choose Ignatius Ajuru University of Education as your First Choice in JAMB to be eligible for screening. If they are your Second Choice, do a Change of Institution immediately.
Does IAUE Write Post UTME Exams? (The “No Exam” Policy)
No. IAUE typically does NOT conduct a physical Post-UTME examination (Aptitude Test).
Instead, they use a Hybrid Screening Method:
-
Online Registration: You register on the portal and upload your documents.
-
Physical Verification: This is the most critical part. You will be invited to the campus for a physical verification of your O-Level Certificate and Biometrics.
-
Grading: Your admission is based on your JAMB score and the successful verification of your O’Levels.

-
O’Level Verification: Since IAUE does physical verification, ensure your WAEC/NECO certificate is original. If you are using a result printout, it must be the official one.
-
Upload to CAPS: You MUST upload your O-Level results to JAMB CAPS. Even if you pass the physical screening, JAMB will not give you an admission letter if your O’Level is missing on CAPS.
-
Dress Code: IAUE takes discipline seriously. When going for your physical screening, dress corporately and responsibly. Indecent dressing can lead to being turned back at the gate.
Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions concerning the IAUE portal, acceptance fee payment, or the specific requirements for Direct Entry, as our support team is always on standby to attend to you.
