The FULAFIA cut off mark is the first major gate you need to pass through on your journey to admission. The Federal University of Lafia has a general cut off point, but different departments set their own cut off points as they deem fit.

While you might meet the general requirement to get admitted into FULAFIA, if your dream course is Nursing or Law, you would need a more competitive score to sail through.

This means that you should aim for a higher score, as exceeding this threshold would put your application ahead of others. Let's go right in to find out about this number and plan how to ace it.

There are two types of cut off marks you should know. They include:

  • General JAMB Cut off Mark: This is the required minimum score you need to get to participate in the Post UTME screening.

  • Departmental Cut off Mark: This is the minimum score needed to be considered for admission into your specific programme in your preferred department.

You only become eligible to register for Post UTME when you meet the general cut off mark. Being admitted solely depends on your departmental cut off mark, which includes your JAMB score and Post UTME performance.
