Introduction to LAUTECH Cut Off Marks
The cut off mark refers to the minimum UTME or Direct Entry (DE) scores that applicants seeking admission into LAUTECH must attain to be considered eligible for various undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes.
LAUTECH outlines admission cut off marks annually based on factors like competition, availability of quota, applicants’ entry qualifications and overall performance in preceding admission exercises. By stipulating cut off marks, the institution is able to select best-qualified candidates per programme from the pool of admission seekers.
LAUTECH JAMB Cut Off Marks 2024/2025
The LAUTECH management approved minimum JAMB cut off mark for the 2024/2025 academic session is:

LAUTECH Direct Entry (DE) Cut Off Marks 2024/2025
LAUTECH also outlines admission cut off marks for direct entry applicants seeking admission into year two or three of their desired programmes.
The cut off marks are determined based on grades obtained in the National Diploma, OND or HND. Here is an overview:
- OND (Upper Credit) – 16 points
- OND (Lower Credit) – 12 points
- HND (Upper Credit) – 22 points
- HND (Lower Credit) – 18 points
How to Calculate LAUTECH Aggregate Score 2024?
The cut-off mark is calculated by adding the UTME score and the Post UTME score of a candidate and dividing it by two. For example, if a candidate scores 200 in UTME and 50 in Post UTME, the aggregate score will be (200 + 50) / 2 = 125. This is the score that will be compared with the cut-off mark of the desired course.
Impact of Cut Off Marks on Admission Chances
The higher the cut off mark for a programme, the stiffer the competition for admission into the department. Therefore, applicants are advised that meeting just the basic requirements may not guarantee admission.
For best chances, candidates should aim for UTME/Direct Entry scores well above the stipulated cut off marks for their desired programmes.
