Frequently Asked Questions

  The cut-off mark is determined by ATBU’s admission committee in line with JAMB’s national minimum benchmark, considering the number of applicants, available slots, and the performance of candidates in the UTME.
• Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for Economics?
  The official current-year cut-off mark is published on the ATBU admissions portal (atbu.edu.ng) and the JAMB e-facility platform. Always refer to these sources for the accurate figure.
• What happens if my score is below the ATBU Economics cut-off mark?
  If your UTME score is below the cut-off, you will not be offered admission into the Economics programme for that session. You may consider changing your institution or course through JAMB and reapplying next year.
