“The departmental cut-off marks often reflect last year’s trends but can change depending on applicant volume,” an AAU admissions officer told me during my Post-UTME.
Factors That Influence AAU’s Admission Cut-Off
A number of dynamic factors come into play when AAU decides on its cut-off marks:
- Number of Applicants: Courses with more applicants (e.g., Medicine) have higher cut-offs.
- Performance of Applicants: If many students score high in JAMB and Post-UTME, cut-offs rise.
- Quota and Accreditation: Departments are capped based on NUC-approved quotas.
- Catchment Area & ELDS Policy: Candidates from AAU’s catchment states may receive slight leeway.
Personal Insight: “I scored 207 for Microbiology in 2022, but due to low turnout, I still got admitted even though the cut-off was 210.”
How to Calculate Your AAU Aggregate Score
Your aggregate score determines whether you meet the departmental cut-off. Here’s the method used by AAU:
Formula: (JAMB Score Ă· 8) + (Post-UTME Score Ă· 2)
Example:
- JAMB Score: 240
- Post-UTME Score: 60
- Aggregate = (240 Ă· 8) + (60 Ă· 2) = 30 + 30 = 60
Tip: Always target a high Post-UTME score—it carries equal weight as your JAMB result!
What to Do If You Fall Below the Cut-Off
Not meeting the required score doesn’t spell doom. Here are your options:
- Change of Course: Apply for a less competitive course within AAU.
- Supplementary Admission: Monitor for second batch or change of list.
- Direct Entry (DE): Use an ND or NCE result for next year.
- Consider Other Schools: Institutions like Edo State Poly, Auchi Poly, or UNIBEN Part-Time might suit your profile.
