Profile
The University of Abuja, like other Nigerian universities, sets a minimum cut off mark for admission into its Public Administration programme. This mark is usually within the general JAMB score range of 170–210, but the exact figure for the current academic session is announced by JAMB and the university. Candidates should note that meeting the cut off mark does not guarantee admission, as other factors like O’Level requirements and post-UTME screening also apply.
