  18. Hello there!
    I came to realize that qualified candidates must have a minimum of 4.00 CGPA in a 5.00 grade point system.
    I have 3.94, but I registered and sat for the exam on 15th.
    Does that disqualify me?

  20. I took the test on the 15th too at Ilorin. I will like to know if there is any idea of the cut-off mark. I heard it is likely 70%.

    Also, is the cut-off mark for undergraduates going to be different from that of postgraduates?

    Reply
    • Hello Sonic,

      There is no cut-off mark. The results will not be released. So one cannot tell if undergraduates and Postgraduates have the same cut-off mark.

      -And after the exam ,another shortlisting will follow for those who passed the exam.
      – Finally, the verification process follows.

      It is after the verification that the money will be paid to your account.

        The first batch of the POST UTME is generally for Undergraduates and Post Graduates but the ongoing application is only for students in Education.

      Many people apply for the exam in a year. There are not enough materials for all of them. So the federal government chooses to cut that number according to its requirements.

      You might not have completely met the requirements or you might have been cut off for reasons best known to the board.
