GAPOSA Cut Off Mark for 2025/2026

Note: This is the first step, you must meet all other requirements of the school to gain admission.
What Happens After You Meet the GAPOSA JAMB Cut Off Mark?
If your JAMB score is 120 and above, you will qualify for the internal screening. But meeting the cut-off mark does not guarantee admission. The internal screening is the next stage that will determine if you will be offered admission into the school.
During this stage, Gateway Polytechnic will go through all your documents including your JAMB result and academic records to see if you are qualified for admission. You will also be required to sit for an aptitude test as part of the screening process.
Documents Required for Internal Screening
After meeting the JAMB cut-off mark, you will need to submit the following documents for the internal screening. These documents are to verify if you are qualified for admission. Make sure you have the following documents ready:
- JAMB Result Slip: Original copy of your JAMB result slip showing your score and other details.
- O’ Level Certificates: Original and photocopies of your O’ level certificates (WAEC, NECO or NABTEB). Candidates awaiting results are not eligible for the screening.
- Birth Certificate: Original copy of your birth certificate or a sworn affidavit for those without birth certificate.
- Passport Photos: Bring recent colored passport-sized photographs.
- Other Documents: Depending on the course you are applying for, other documents may be required.
Get all these documents and come to the screening centre when the time comes.
Can You Still Be Admitted If Your JAMB Score is Below 120?
If your JAMB score is below 120, you won’t be invited for the internal screening at Gateway Polytechnic. Aim for 120 and above so you can move to the next stage of the admission process. But if your score is just below 120, you can re-write next year to improve your score.
