Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, has set the general UTME cut-off mark at 180 for the 2023/2024 academic session.
This means candidates who scored 180 and above in the UTME are eligible to apply for admission into any course offered at the university.
However, meeting the general cut-off mark does not guarantee admission, as specific departments have their own cut-off marks, which are often higher due to factors like the number of applications received and the competitiveness of the program.
