Federal College of Education Zaria, JAMB cut off mark for all courses that are offered in the institution has been released by the school authority in accordance with JAMB’s directive. Before the management and school authority of FCE Zaria fix their minimum cut off mark, it has to be in line with that of JAMB’s approved cut off mark for the academic session. JAMB does not fix FCE Zaria cut off mark, however they (JAMB) peg a fixed admission cut off point every academic session that no institution must go below, that is, in the case of FCE Zaria, they must not go below the ceiling placed for fixing of cut off marks.
This academic session, JAMB fixed the general cut off mark for all Colleges of Education as 120. However, FCE Zaria are at liberty to fix their minimum admission cut off mark at 120 and above. For example, the cut off mark for FCE Zaria is 120. This simply means that candidates that register FCE Zaria as their preferred choice of institution must have scored at least 120 and above to be eligible to purchase FCE Zaria post UTME form and apply for admission into their selected course. JAMB’s duty is to regulate and give admission to deserving candidates who meet FCE Zaria cut off mark and passed the Post UTME test.
