The 2026/2027 cut-off mark picture for Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi (JOSTUM) is now out. Candidates need this information before they can tell whether they are in contention for a place, and before any screening exercise starts.
Note on the name: this institution was formerly the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi (FUAM). It now operates as Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi, with the official acronym JOSTUM. Its website is still uam.edu.ng.
Candidates who are still unsure where they stand should treat JOSTUM’s figure as the starting point for everything else in the admission process. Candidates should confirm their own UTME result against this figure before taking any further step.

Clearing the cut-off mark at JOSTUM does not finish the admission process on its own. Candidates still need to complete screening, document verification, and any departmental requirement before a place is confirmed.
JOSTUM reviews every candidate against the same baseline figure first, before anything else about an application is considered. That order does not change from one candidate to the next.
Making Sense of JOSTUM’s 2026/2027 Figure
The cut-off mark is JOSTUM‘s way of narrowing the field. Candidates who clear it still have real work left before admission is confirmed.
Nothing about the rest of the process gets easier just because this figure is cleared. JOSTUM candidates should keep that in mind while the rest of the admission process plays out.
