Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the FUTO Sociology cut-off mark determined?
The cut-off mark is set by the university’s admissions committee based on factors like the number of applicants, the performance of candidates in the UTME, and the capacity of the department. It may vary from the general JAMB minimum and is announced after the UTME results are released. - Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for Sociology at FUTO?
The official cut-off mark is published on the FUTO website (www.futo.edu.ng) and the JAMB CAPS portal. Candidates should also monitor the university’s admission brochure and official social media channels for updates. - What happens if my UTME score is below the FUTO Sociology cut-off mark?
Candidates who score below the cut-off are not eligible for the post-UTME screening for that programme. They may consider changing to a less competitive course at FUTO or applying to another institution with a lower cut-off mark.
Always confirm the exact current-year cut-off mark for Sociology at FUTO from the official JAMB CAPS or university website, as figures are reviewed annually. Meeting the cut-off is only the first step; ensure you also satisfy the O’Level and UTME subject requirements for a complete application.
