Please could someone tell me about the departmental cut-off mark for Micro Biology?

While 150 makes you eligible to apply, Microbiology is a core course in the Faculty of Biological Sciences. To be safe for the Merit Admission List, you should ideally have a JAMB score of 170–190.
​2. The AKSU Admission System
​AKSU uses a composite screening process rather than just a JAMB score. Your final ranking is based on an average of two main components:
​JAMB Score: This is the foundation of your application.
​Post-UTME/Online Screening: AKSU often uses an online screening where you upload your O'Level results and other documents. They calculate your aggregate based on these results.
​Crucial Note: You must score at least 140–150 in the university's screening process to be considered for admission, regardless of how high your JAMB score was.
​3. Academic Requirements for Microbiology
​To avoid disqualification, ensure you meet these "non-negotiable" criteria:
​JAMB Subject Combination: You must have taken English Language, Biology, Chemistry, and either Mathematics or Physics.
​O'Level Credits: You need at least 5 Credits in no more than two sittings in:
​English Language
​Mathematics
​Biology
​Chemistry
​Physics
​4. Strategic Advice
​First Choice: AKSU strictly prioritizes candidates who chose them as their First Choice. If they are currently your second choice, you must perform a "Change of Institution" on the JAMB portal.
​JAMB CAPS Upload: Ensure your O'Level results are uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal. AKSU's admission system is fully integrated with CAPS, and they cannot offer you admission if your O'Level data is missing.
​Catchment Area: As a State University, AKSU gives preference to indigenes of Akwa Ibom State. If you are a non-indigene, you will likely need a slightly higher score (180+) to compete on the national merit list.
​Summary: You are eligible with a 150+, but for a competitive course like Microbiology, aiming for 170+ and having a solid O'Level result (mostly A's and B's) will significantly increase your chances.
