Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the cut-off mark for Business Management at ATBU determined?
The cut-off mark is set by the university each year in consultation with JAMB, based on the number of applicants, their UTME scores, and the institution’s admission capacity. It is not fixed and may differ from the general JAMB minimum. - Where can I check the official cut-off mark for the current admission year?
The official cut-off mark is published on the ATBU Bauchi admissions portal (www.atbu.edu.ng) and also announced via JAMB’s Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). Always refer to these official channels for the accurate figure. - What happens if my UTME score is below the cut-off mark for Business Management?
Candidates who score below the cut-off mark for the course may not be considered for admission into that programme. They can either change their institution or course to one with a lower cut-off, or re-sit the UTME in a subsequent year.
To get the exact cut-off mark for Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University’s Business Management/Management Sciences programme in the current admission year, always check the official JAMB and ATBU portals. Meeting the cut-off mark does not guarantee admission, as other factors like O’Level requirements and catchment area are also considered.
