Frequently Asked Questions

• How is the cut-off mark for Mass Communication and Media Technology at ATBU determined?
  The cut-off mark is set by ATBU based on factors such as the number of applicants, their aggregate JAMB scores, and the university’s admission policy. It is also influenced by the general JAMB-approved minimum cut-off for the year.
• Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for this programme?
  The official cut-off mark is published on the JAMB CAPS portal and on ATBU’s official website (www.atbu.edu.ng). Candidates should always refer to these sources for the most accurate and up-to-date figure.
• What happens if my JAMB score is below the cut-off mark for Mass Communication and Media Technology?
  Candidates who score below the cut-off may not be considered for admission into the programme. They can either change their course to a less competitive one at ATBU, or apply for a change of institution through JAMB if they still wish to study Mass Communication elsewhere.

Always verify the exact cut-off mark for the current admission cycle directly from the JAMB CAPS portal or ATBU’s official website. Remember that meeting the cut-off is only one requirement — you must also satisfy O’Level and other admission criteria. Stay updated by checking official announcements regularly.
