For the 2026/2027 academic session at Ekiti State University (EKSU), the cut-off mark for Theatre and Media Arts is structured to favor candidates who meet the general university standard while maintaining a solid O'Level profile.
​1. The JAMB Cut-off Mark
​General Eligibility: The official general cut-off mark for EKSU is 150.
​Theatre Arts Target: While you are eligible to apply with 150, Theatre and Media Arts is a popular course in the Faculty of Arts. To be competitive for the Merit List, you should ideally target a score of 160–180.
​2. The EKSU Admission System
​It is important to remember that EKSU does not conduct a physical Post-UTME exam. Instead, they use an online screening process.
​Ranking Formula: Your admission is determined by a point system that combines your JAMB score and your O’Level results (WAEC/NECO).
​The Weight of O'Levels: Since there is no screening test to boost your score, your A's and B's in subjects like Literature-in-English and English Language are what will push you ahead of other candidates.
​3. Core Requirements for Theatre Arts
​To ensure you aren't disqualified during the screening, you must meet these specific academic criteria:
​JAMB Subject Combination: You must have sat for English Language, Literature-in-English, and any two other Arts or Social Science subjects.
​O'Level Credits: You need at least 5 credits in no more than two sittings, including:
​English Language
​Mathematics
​Literature-in-English (Compulsory)
​Two other Arts or Social Science subjects (e.g., Government, CRS, History).
​4. Strategic Advice for 2026
​Upload Early: Ensure your O'Level results are uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal immediately. Without this, EKSU cannot "see" your profile to offer you admission.
​First Choice: You must have chosen EKSU as your First Choice. If you didn't, you should apply for a Change of Institution on the JAMB portal before the screening begins in August.
​Summary: You are "safe" with a JAMB score of 150+, but your admission really depends on having a Credit in Literature-in-English and a high O'Level point tally.
