What is the cut-off mark for ZAMSU POST UTME?
The cut-off mark for ZAMSU POST UTME is 180. This means you need to score at least 180 in the POST UTME exam to be eligible for admission into ZAMSU.
However, scoring exactly 180 does not guarantee you will be offered admission. The cut-off mark only qualifies you to participate in the next stage of the admission process. ZAMSU bases its final admission on merit and on the number of vacancies available per department.
Can I still gain admission if I score below the cut-off mark?
Yes, you can still gain admission if you score below 180. ZAMSU has the authority to lower the cut-off mark to 160 or even less based on the general performance recorded in the POST UTME.
So if you score around 160 or a high 150, there is still a good chance you may be offered admission into your desired course. Nonetheless, ensure you choose ZAMSU as your institution of first choice.
Does ZAMSU send post-UTME results to candidates via SMS?
Unfortunately, ZAMSU does not send post-UTME results to candidates via SMS. You will have to log in to the school’s admission portal to see your scores using the details created during registration.
Many universities nowadays allow students to access their admission status and post-UTME results right from their dashboard without having to wait for SMS notifications.
