For 2026/2027, ABSU has published the cut-off mark information prospective students need before applying. Knowing where that threshold sits early saves time later in the admission cycle and avoids last-minute confusion over eligibility.
Candidates who aspire to get admitted into Abia State University must meet the expected cut-off mark for the school as well as the course or department itself. Skipping or rushing this part of the process is one of the more common reasons admission gets delayed.
150 is JAMB’s confirmed national minimum for 2026/2027; ABSU’s own Post-UTME screening is widely reported at 160 and above, and ABSU accepts and screens both first and second-choice candidates in their Post UTME.
Once you’ve met the requirement for the cut-off mark, you can proceed to the rest of the admission requirements for your desired course. This step applies equally whether a candidate is applying from within the state or outside it.
Abia State University (ABSU) is a state-owned university in Abia State. It remains one of the more competitive state universities in the country in terms of admissions and carries one of the larger student populations.
