Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the FUTA Economics cut-off mark determined?
The cut-off mark is set by FUTA’s admission committee after considering JAMB’s minimum benchmark, the number of applicants, their aggregate scores, and the university’s capacity. It may also be adjusted for different categories such as UTME and Direct Entry. - Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for FUTA Economics?
The official cut-off mark is released on the JAMB CAPS portal and the FUTA admissions website. You should also check the university’s official notice board or contact the admissions office for verified updates. - What happens if I score below the FUTA Economics cut-off mark?
Candidates who score below the cut-off are generally not considered for admission into that programme. However, you may be able to change to another course with a lower cut-off or apply for a change of institution through JAMB if eligible.
Always verify the exact FUTA Economics cut-off mark for the current admission year from the official JAMB CAPS portal or the university’s website, as figures change annually. Meeting the cut-off is a key requirement, but it does not guarantee admission, as other criteria like O’Level grades and post-UTME performance also matter. Stay updated through official channels to avoid missing important deadlines.
