What is NOUN cut-off mark [current_year]
Permit me to quickly explain what cut off mark is and why Universities in Nigeria use it as a yardstick for admission.
Cut off mark is a simple English word that means a designated limit beyond which something cannot function or must be terminated. NOUN UTME Cut off mark is the required score from you by the university in order to gain admission to study your desired score. Those who sit for JAMB are called UTME candidates. This simple means JAMB is not the only way for you to gain admission into NOUN
While JAMB has the power to set cut off marks for universities, though some schools may have an understanding with JAMB to increase or decrease their cut off marks due to personal school policy. Mind you, Post UTME score is not the same with JAMB UTME score. You may pass JAMB and fail POST UTME.
NOUN JAMB UTME cut off mark varies and may change depending on school policy. This cut off is only applicable to some departmental courses in NOUN as some may require you to score above. Most often, competitive courses are usually the ones with higher JAMB cut off marks in other to reduce the entrance and overcrowding while the non-competitive courses follow the default cut off mark.
