KADPOLY Cut Off Mark

So, as an aspirant, your target should be 100 in JAMB. But if you want to be considered for more competitive courses, scoring higher is always better.

Next, we will go deeper into the expected JAMB cut-off marks for each programme.

KADPOLY Departmental Cut Off Mark

While KADPOLY general cut off mark will give you an idea of what to aim for, you also need to consider departmental cut off mark. Departmental cut off mark is specific to the courses or departments you are applying to. It may be higher than the general JAMB cut off.

For example, competitive courses like Engineering or Architecture will have higher departmental cut off mark, while less competitive courses will have lower departmental mark.

After you take the JAMB exam, you will participate in the post-UTME screening. Post-UTME exam result will be combined with your JAMB score to see if you meet the departmental cut off mark for your chosen course.

Each department has its own criteria based on the number of candidates, available space and the popularity of the programme. That’s why you need to choose your course wisely if you want to maximize your chances of being admitted.

How To Boost Your Chances of Being Admitted to KADPOLY

While meeting the JAMB cut off mark is the first step, you can do more to increase your chances:

  • Aim for higher JAMB score: Higher score gives you more opportunities especially for competitive programmes.
  • Prepare well for post-UTME screening: Your performance in post-UTME also matters in your admission chances.
  • Choose less competitive courses: If you score on the lower end of the JAMB cut off, it’s better to choose a programme that’s not competitive. This way you can increase your chances of being admitted.
  • Stay informed on deadlines and news: Keep checking KADPOLY website for updates on cut off mark, application deadline and other important information.

If you can, start early. The more you know and prepare the better.
