The cut-off mark for the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) for the 2024/2025 academic session has been officially announced. As in previous years, FUOYE has set 150 as the general cut-off mark for most of its courses. However, specific courses and departments have higher cut-off marks depending on their competitiveness and the number of applicants.
General Cut-Off Mark
For the 2024/2025 academic year, FUOYE has maintained 150 as the minimum score required in the UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) for candidates to be eligible for the Post-UTME screening. This general cut-off applies to a majority of the courses, particularly in less competitive faculties like Agriculture, Education, and certain Arts courses. However, applicants should note that meeting the general cut-off does not guarantee admission as each course has a departmental cut-off mark, which might be higher due to the volume of applications.
Departmental Cut-Off Marks
Each course at FUOYE has its specific cut-off mark, determined by factors such as the number of applicants and the competitiveness of the program. For highly competitive courses, the cut-off mark tends to be higher. Below are some departmental cut-off marks for key faculties:
- Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences: Courses like Nursing have a cut-off mark of 220, while Medical Laboratory Science and Radiology require 200. These courses are some of the most competitive at FUOYE due to the high demand for medical-related programs.
- Faculty of Engineering: Programs like Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and Computer Engineering have cut-off marks of 200. However, Mechatronics Engineering stands out with a cut-off mark of 220.
- Faculty of Arts: Courses such as English and Literary Studies and Theatre and Media Arts have higher cut-off marks of 200, reflecting the increased interest in these disciplines.
- Faculty of Social Sciences: Mass Communication and Criminology and Security Studies require a UTME score of 220 and 200, respectively, while courses like Economics and Development Studies have a cut-off mark of 180.
Admission Process and Considerations
FUOYE uses a combination of UTME scores and Post-UTME performance to determine admission. After meeting the initial cut-off mark, candidates are required to participate in the Post-UTME screening process. It is essential to perform well in this screening as it significantly impacts the final admission decision.
Applicants aiming for competitive programs like Nursing, Law, or Engineering should aim to exceed the minimum cut-off marks to improve their chances of admission, especially given the volume of applications received for these courses. For less competitive programs, meeting the minimum departmental cut-off mark may suffice, but strong Post-UTME performance is still crucial.
Conclusion
The 2024/2025 FUOYE cut-off marks reflect the institution’s standards and the competitiveness of its various programs. Prospective students are encouraged to prepare well for the Post-UTME and consider courses with cut-off marks they can comfortably meet, depending on their UTME score. FUOYE remains one of the leading public universities in Nigeria, offering diverse programs across its faculties.
