Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the cut-off mark for this course determined?
The cut-off mark is set by the university’s admissions committee based on factors such as the number of applicants, the institution’s carrying capacity, and national JAMB policy. The general JAMB baseline often lies between 200 and 240, but the university may adjust it upward or downward for specific programmes. - Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark?
The official cut-off mark is published on the university’s website (www.dufoms.edu.ng) and the JAMB CAPS portal. Always rely on these sources for the exact figure, as third-party sites may be outdated. - What happens if I score below the cut-off mark?
Candidates who score below the cut-off may not be considered for admission into Mass Communication and Media Technology. However, they can change their institution or course on JAMB CAPS to a less competitive option or explore direct entry if eligible.
