Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the cut off mark for Medicine and Surgery at FUPRE determined?
The cut off mark is set annually by FUPRE in collaboration with JAMB, based on factors such as the number of applicants, available slots, and the overall performance of candidates in the UTME. It is not a fixed figure and may vary from year to year. - Where can I check the official current-year cut off mark for FUPRE Medicine and Surgery?
The official cut off mark is released on the JAMB CAPS portal and FUPRE’s admissions website. Candidates should monitor these official channels and any announcements from the university’s admission office. - What happens if my UTME score is below the FUPRE Medicine and Surgery cut off mark?
Candidates who score below the cut off may not be considered for admission into that programme. However, they can explore other courses at FUPRE with lower cut off marks, or consider other universities or change of institution through JAMB.
