Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the cut-off mark for Pharmacy at Fountain University decided?
The university’s cut-off mark is determined by the admission committee based on the number of applicants, available slots, and the overall performance of candidates in the UTME. It may vary each year. - Where can I check the official cut-off mark for the current year?
The official cut-off mark is usually published on the JAMB central admission processing system (CAPS) and the Fountain University website. Candidates should monitor these platforms. - What happens if my UTME score is below the cut-off mark?
If your score falls below the cut-off, you may not be offered admission into Pharmacy. However, you could consider changing to a less competitive course within the university or reapplying in a subsequent session.
To get the precise cut-off mark for the current admission year, always refer to the official JAMB portal or the Fountain University admissions office. Meeting or exceeding the cut-off is essential but does not guarantee admission, as other factors like O’Level grades and post-UTME screening also count. We encourage you to stay updated and prepare thoroughly.
