Sokoto State University departmental cut-off mark
The Sokoto State University departmental cut-off mark is the official benchmark score set to process admission for each course. This cut-off mark is decided by the management of each faculty after the successful conclusion of the institution’s POST UTM Examination. Meanwhile, the mark is determined by the performance of students after the examination or screening. Candidates should note that not all school releases cut off marks to process admission after the conclusion of Post UTME examination or screening.
