Is AKUM Post UTME Form Out for 2026?

Yes. The Abdulkadir Kure University, Minna Post UTME and Direct Entry screening form for the 2026/2027 academic session is officially out and the portal is accepting applications. Candidates who scored 160 and above in the 2026 UTME and chose AKUM as their first-choice institution on JAMB are eligible to apply immediately.

What is the Cut Off Mark for Abdulkadir Kure University?

The confirmed general JAMB cut-off mark for Abdulkadir Kure University, Minna for the 2026/2027 academic session is 160. This is a uniform cut-off that applies across all courses and all faculties. The university maintained this threshold from the 2025/2026 session.

Below is the confirmed departmental cut-off for all programmes at AKUM, all set at 160:

Faculty of Education: - B.Ed. Educational Management: 160 - B.Ed. Guidance and Cognitive Sciences: 160 - B.Ed. Primary Education: 160 - B.Sc. (Ed.) Agricultural Education: 160

All other departments across Science, Management, Law, Engineering, and Social Sciences carry the same general cut-off of 160.

The 160 cut-off applies at the point of eligibility -- to qualify to sit the online screening. Admission itself is competitive and depends on aggregate performance across JAMB and O'Level grades. Candidates with JAMB scores significantly above 160, combined with strong O'Level results, are in a more competitive position relative to candidates who scored at the minimum.

Cut Off Mark for AKUM Nursing

Candidates specifically asking about the cut-off for Nursing Science at Abdulkadir Kure University: the general confirmed cut-off for all programmes including health-related courses is 160. However, the availability of Nursing Science as a currently running and NUC-accredited programme at AKUM should be confirmed directly through the university's official admission portal for the 2026/2027 session, as the official programme list is updated each session based on NUC approval status.

AKUM Aggregate Score Formula

AKUM uses the standard Nigerian university weighted aggregate formula:

Aggregate Score = (JAMB Score divided by 8) + (Post UTME Score divided by 2)

This produces a final score out of 100, with JAMB contributing up to 50 points and the screening contributing up to 50 points.

Worked example: - JAMB score: 190. Divide by 8 = 23.75 points - Post UTME or screening score: 70 out of 100. Divide by 2 = 35 points - Total aggregate = 58.75 out of 100

Since all departmental cut-offs are set at 160, and many candidates applying for AKUM will cluster in the 160 to 220 JAMB range, O'Level grades and the Post UTME submission play a significant role in separating candidates who are admitted from those who are not.

AKUM Portal Login -- How to Access the Admission and Student Portal

AKUM operates two separate portals that candidates frequently confuse:

Application Portal (for Post UTME screening): This is where candidates go to register for the Post UTME screening exercise. The login credentials are: - Username: your JAMB registration number - Password: any of your names as registered on JAMB (first name, middle name, or surname)

Admission Status Checker: Candidates who want to check whether they have been admitted can access the AKUM admission status page on the student portal. Enter your JAMB registration number or application reference to check your status.
