Frequently Asked Questions

• How is the cut-off mark for Optometry at Kaduna State University determined?
  The cut-off mark is not a single fixed figure; it depends on factors like the number of applicants, their UTME scores, and the university’s admission quota. KASU sets a minimum JAMB score (usually aligned with the national JAMB policy) and then may apply a higher aggregate from POST-UTME screening and O’Level grades to select candidates.
• Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for Optometry at KASU?
  The official current-year cut-off mark is published on the university’s admission portal (kasu.edu.ng) and the JAMB CAPS portal. Always refer to these official sources, as historical ranges do not guarantee the exact figure for any given year.
• What happens if my UTME score is below the KASU cut-off mark for Optometry?
  If your score falls below the minimum cut-off, you may not be considered for admission into Optometry at KASU. You can either change your course to a less competitive programme within the university or apply to another institution that accepts your score. Alternatively, you can retake UTME the following year.

To confirm the exact cut-off mark for Kaduna State University Optometry in the current admission year, please visit the official JAMB CAPS portal or the KASU admissions website. Meeting the cut-off does not guarantee admission, as other criteria like POST-UTME performance and O’Level grades also matter. Always verify official announcements to avoid relying on rumours or outdated figures.
