Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the ATBU Economics cut-off mark determined?
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.
The ATBU Economics cut-off mark changes each year, so relying on previous years’ figures can be misleading. For the most accurate and binding information, visit the official JAMB portal or the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University website. Ensure you meet all other admission requirements as well.
