What are AFIT Cut-Off Marks?
The AFIT cut-off mark for 2024/2025 is 160 and above. These cut-off marks are the minimum scores required in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and the AFIT screening exercise to be eligible for admission into any program. Various factors, such as the number of candidates applying for each program, the difficulty level of the exams, and the availability of spaces, determine these scores.
The AFIT cut-off marks are divided into two categories: UTME cut-off marks and departmental cut-off marks.
AFIT UTME Cut-Off Marks
The UTME cut-off marks are the minimum scores needed in the JAMB exam to qualify for the AFIT screening exercise. They vary depending on the program you are applying for. For the 2024/2025 admission exercise, the UTME cut-off marks for AFIT are as follows:
- Degree Courses: 200
- National Diploma (ND) Courses: 160
- Pre-Higher National Diploma (Pre-HND) Courses: 160
- Higher National Diploma (HND) Courses: 160
- Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) Courses: 160
This means that if you are applying for a degree course, you need to score at least 200 in the UTME to be eligible for the AFIT screening exercise. If you are applying for an ND, Pre-HND, HND, or PGD course, you need to score at least 160 in the UTME to be eligible for the AFIT screening exercise.
