If you’re hoping to gain admission into Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) for the 2025/2026 academic session, the first step is knowing whether your JAMB UTME score meets the university’s cut-off mark. This score is not just a number — it’s the minimum requirement that determines whether you can move forward in the admission process.
Whether you’re aiming for a science, arts, education, or professional course, this guide covers everything you need to know about AAUA’s general and departmental cut-off marks, as well as the UTME and Direct Entry requirements.
What Is the AAUA Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026?
The general cut-off mark for admission into AAUA for the 2025/2026 session is 160.
This means all candidates who scored 160 and above in their UTME are eligible to apply for AAUA’s Post-UTME screening. However, not all departments accept 160 — some courses, particularly competitive ones like Law or Computer Science, require higher scores.
So while scoring 160 makes you eligible to apply, you must check the departmental cut-off mark for your specific course to determine if your score qualifies you for further consideration.
Departmental Cut-Off Marks for AAUA 2025/2026
Here’s a breakdown of the official departmental cut-off marks. These scores reflect the minimum UTME performance needed for each course. Courses with higher demand typically require higher scores.
S/N | Department | Cut-Off Mark |
---|---|---|
1 | Accounting | 180 |
2 | Banking & Finance | 160 |
3 | Business Administration | 160 |
4 | Criminology and Security Studies | 160 |

10 | Performing Arts | 180 |
11 | Industrial Chemistry | 180 |
12 | All other departments | 160 |
Note: This list includes highlights from the full list. If you’re applying for a less competitive course, the general 160 cut-off will likely apply. However, for professional and science courses, aim for 180–220+ depending on the competition.
UTME Admission Requirements at AAUA
Meeting the cut-off mark is just one part of the full admission process. To be eligible for admission via UTME, candidates must:
- Be at least 16 years old by the time admission begins.
- Score 160 or more in the UTME (higher for competitive courses).
- Have a minimum of 5 credits in relevant O’Level subjects (including English and Mathematics) in not more than two sittings.
- Choose Adekunle Ajasin University as their first choice institution in JAMB.

Direct Entry Admission Requirements at AAUA
If you’re applying via Direct Entry (DE), here are the requirements:
- You must possess at least two A-Level passes in relevant subjects.

Why the Cut-Off Mark Matters
Scoring below your department’s cut-off mark automatically disqualifies you from admission into that course. Even if you meet the general mark of 160, you’ll still need to:
- Meet your course-specific cut-off.
- Pass the Post-UTME screening.
- Ensure all admission requirements are fulfilled.
Tips for Prospective Students
- Check your course’s competitiveness: If you scored 160 but want to study Law or Computer Science, consider switching to a less competitive course or retaking the UTME.
- Prepare for Post-UTME: Even if you meet the cut-off mark, strong performance in Post-UTME can significantly boost your chances.
- Double-check requirements: Make sure your O’Level subjects match your course requirements.
- Keep your documents ready: During admission screening, proper documentation will be requested.
