If you are planning to gain admission into Adeyemi Federal University of Education (AFUED) for the 2025/2026 academic session, one of the most critical pieces of information you need is the official cut off mark.

Whether you have already written the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or are still preparing, knowing the minimum score required can shape your preparation strategy and save you from making uninformed admission decisions.

The below covers the AFUED cut off marks for all courses in the 2025/2026 academic session and answers to the most frequently asked questions by prospective students.

AFUED General Cut Off Mark for 2025/2026

The official UTME cut off mark for Adeyemi Federal University of Education (AFUED) for the 2025/2026 academic session is 150.

This means that candidates who scored 150 and above in the 2025 JAMB UTME are eligible to apply for admission into any undergraduate programme at the university, provided they also meet the O-level requirements and other conditions.

Candidates are strongly advised to aim for scores well above the minimum threshold to improve their chances of securing a place.
