The EBSU cut off mark is simply the minimum JAMB score you need to get into Ebonyi State University. Typically, it is your gate pass to gain access to the university. If your score is up to it, the gate opens for you to apply; if it’s lower, the gate stays closed.

For most courses at EBSU, the cut off mark starts at 150; however, competitive courses such as medicine or law have higher cut off marks. This means that different courses and programmes have different pass marks, depending on the number of students who wish to study there.

To be safe, always try to score much higher than the cut off mark. Just hitting the cut off mark is okay, but beating it by a lot makes it much easier for the school to choose you over other students.
