Frequently Asked Questions
- How are cut-off marks determined for NOUN Abuja Public Administration?
Cut-off marks are determined by JAMB in consultation with NOUN. The university considers factors such as the number of applicants, available slots, and overall performance in the UTME. The final figure is released after each admission cycle. - Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for Public Administration?
The official cut-off mark is published on the JAMB e-facility portal and the NOUN admission website. Always rely on these sources for the accurate figure, as third-party information may be outdated. - What happens if my UTME score is below the cut-off mark for this programme?
If your score falls below the cut-off, you may not be considered for admission to Public Administration. However, you could apply for a change of course to a programme with a lower cut-off or attempt to improve your score in a subsequent UTME session.
