Covenant Poly Cut Off Mark for 2025 Academic Session
FAQs
What is the general cut‑off mark for admission into Covenant University for the 2025 academic session?
The university has indicated that the minimum JAMB score required for consideration of admission is 180 marks. However, some sources suggest aiming higher—for example 200 or more—to improve chances in very competitive programmes.
Does meeting the cut‑off mark guarantee admission into a course at Covenant University?
No. Scoring at or above the minimum cut‑off mark (such as 180) makes you eligible for screening, but it does not guarantee admission. Admission decisions at CU also depend on factors such as your O’Level results, score in the post‑UTME/aptitude screening exercise (known as CUSAS), your chosen course’s competitiveness, and whether you meet other specific programme requirements.
Are there higher cut‑off or benchmark scores for specific highly competitive programmes?
Yes. Although the general cut‑off is around 180, for programmes like Engineering, Computer Science or Architecture the realistic target is often higher (for example, 200+ in UTME) due to competition. It is therefore advisable to aim for well above the stated minimum if you are applying to such courses.
What other requirements should applicants be aware of aside from the cut‑off mark?
Aside from obtaining the required UTME score, applicants must have good O’Level results — typically credit level passes in five (5) subjects including English Language and Mathematics (for many programmes) at not more than two sittings. They must also choose Covenant University as their first choice in JAMB, complete the online application, and attend the university’s screening exercise (CUSAS).
