The official cut-off mark is published on the JAMB CAPS portal and the University of Innovation, Science and Technology, Omuma website. Always verify directly from these sources to ensure accuracy. - What happens if my UTME score is below the cut-off mark for Dentistry and Dental Surgery?
Candidates who score below the cut-off may consider alternative courses within the university that have lower cut-offs, or apply to other institutions. They can also opt for change of institution or programme through JAMB if eligible.
