Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the cut-off mark for Mass Communication and Media Technology at FUTA determined?
FUTA’s departmental cut-off mark is influenced by the number of applicants, the quality of their scores, and the university’s admission quota. The university considers both the JAMB UTME score and the candidate’s performance in the post-UTME screening to set the final cut-off. - Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for FUTA’s Mass Communication and Media Technology?
The official cut-off mark is published on the FUTA admission portal (www.admission.futa.edu.ng) and the JAMB CAPS portal. Candidates are advised to monitor these platforms and the university’s official social media pages for updates. - What happens if my JAMB score is below FUTA’s cut-off mark for this course?
If your score falls below the cut-off, you may not be offered admission directly. However, you can consider changing to a less competitive programme within FUTA or applying for a change of institution via JAMB to a university with a lower threshold.
Always verify the precise cut-off mark for the current admission year from the official JAMB and FUTA websites, as the figure can vary annually. Meeting the cut-off does not guarantee admission, as other factors like O’Level grades and post-UTME performance also count. Stay updated through the university’s admission bulletin for the most accurate information.
