It is easy enough to get accepted into any university you like when you have met the cut off mark requirements.

If you reach the minimum point that the university has set, you have a chance to be admitted into this educational institution. However, preference will be given to the students who have scored as much above the cut off mark as possible.
This year, some changes were made to the cut off mark for Kwara State University. Last year, KWASU departmental cut off mark 2017/2018 was 108. However, in 2018/2019, the departmental cut off mark for JAMB in this institution has risen to 180.

The second phase of admission process is the release of student lists who are admitted to the university. Those lucky students will be invited to pass another screening exercise. They should have the following documents with them:

• The original copies of educational qualifications (the result statements and certificates), awaiting results cases will not be accepted.
• Age declaration or birth certification.
