KSU Cut Off Marks for 2026/2027 Admission Exercise

Prince Abubakar Audu University, once known as Kogi State University, has opened the gate for another admission season. The school has now made public the cut-off marks for the 2026/2027 academic year. For those who have been waiting, this is the moment to check if their scores measure up.

A Brief Look Back at PAAU

The University sits in Anyigba, Kogi State. It was founded in 1999 by Prince Abubakar Audu, the governor at the time. The name has changed a few times, yet the mission has stayed the same, to provide solid education for students within and outside the state.

One figure stands tall, about 98% of its courses are accredited by the National Universities Commission. That alone has kept students flowing in year after year.

This means only candidates who hit or pass these marks in JAMB can sit for the Post UTME.

What This Means for Applicants

The message is simple. If your score matches or goes beyond the cut-off, you can move forward to the PAAU Post UTME registration. If not, the door stays closed this round.

The high figures for courses like Medicine, Nursing and Law show how tight the race is. Lower numbers in other programmes still matter, as they are the deciding lines for entry.

For extra preparation, you can also check the Post UTME past questions and answers and the general cut-off marks for other schools.

Final Word

Admission into PAAU is no small affair. The numbers tell their own story, setting the pace for who makes it and who does not. For every candidate, the next step is to measure their own score against the list, prepare for the Post UTME and keep eyes fixed on official updates.

This year's cut-off marks are here and the stage is set. For some, the door is already half-open, for others, it might take another try. That is how the wheel turns.
