Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the cut-off mark for Criminology and Security Studies at BSUAST determined?
The cut-off mark is set by the university in consultation with JAMB, based on factors like the number of applicants, the programme’s capacity, and the overall performance of candidates in the UTME. - Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for this programme?
Always verify the exact cut-off mark on the official JAMB portal (www.jamb.gov.ng) or the BSUAST admissions website for the current academic session. - What happens if I score below the cut-off mark?
Candidates who score below the set cut-off are not eligible for admission into that programme via UTME. They may consider other programmes with lower cut-offs, change of course, or apply through Direct Entry if they meet requirements.
To ensure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information, always check the official JAMB and BSUAST platforms for the specific cut-off mark for the current year.
