Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education (AIFUE), Owerri, has published its cut-off marks for the 2025/2026 admission session.
Admission depends on UTME scores, post-UTME screening, correct subject combinations, and O’Level results.
What is AIFUE’s general JAMB UTME cut-off mark for 2025?
The university requires a minimum UTME score of 140 to be eligible.
Anyone who scores 140 or higher and lists AIFUE as their first choice can register for the post-UTME screening exercise.
This applies to all courses, including Education, Business, Arts, Science, and Technical programs.
Is the 140 cut-off the same for all departments?
Yes. The cut-off of 140 is universal for all courses at AIFUE.
That means whether you’re applying for Education, Mathematics, Biology, Economics, or Technology Education, the UTME minimum score remains the same.
Can candidates who scored below 140 in UTME apply?
No. If you scored 139 or less, you are not eligible to apply for any course at AIFUE via UTME.
Eligible candidates must score at least 140 before they can participate in screening.
Can second-choice or change-of-course candidates apply?
Yes. If AIFUE was not your first choice during UTME registration, you can still apply if you earned a score of 140 or above.
You need to change your first-choice institution to AIFUE through the JAMB CAPS portal before the end of the screening registration period.
What subjects do I need in O’Level for AIFUE programs?
To qualify for any degree program, you must have a minimum of five credit passes in WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB, obtained in not more than two sittings.
These must include English Language, Mathematics, and three other subjects relevant to your chosen course .
Will there be a Post-UTME screening?
Yes. AIFUE expects all eligible UTME candidates (score ≥ 140) to register for Post-UTME. Registration involves:
- Logging into the AIFUE portal
- Filling out the screening form
- Uploading O’Level results
- Paying a ₦2,000 screening fee via Remita
- Printing a screening slip to sit for the exam
The exam may be conducted online or on campus, depending on the university’s instructions.
Does scoring 140 in UTME guarantee admission?
No. A score of 140 only qualifies you to sit for screening. Final admission depends on:
- Performance in Post-UTME
- Proper subject combination
- Valid O’Level results
- Merit ranking compared to other candidates
Some programmes may indirectly require higher post-UTME scores due to competition.
What happens if I fall short of 140 or final merit ranking?
If your UTME score is below 140, you are not eligible to apply for this session. If you score 140 or higher but do not make the final merit list:
- You may be offered admission through catchment or standby lists—depending on your region and screening performance
- You can choose to retake UTME or apply next year if your goal is still to study at AIFUE
