ABSSU pharmacy cut-off mark is different from other courses; this is because pharmacy students are expected to perform way higher than students. So to gain admission to study pharmacy at ABSU you must score above 200 in your jamb.

How to calculate ABSU pharmacy aggregate cut off mark

 

To calculate your actual cut-off mark for pharmacy in ABSU, you will have to divide your jamb score by 8 and your post UTME score by 2, then your actual cut-off mark will be a summation of your jamb score divided by and your post UTME by 2. Confused? Wait, let me make it more clear to you.

 

For instance, a student who wishes to study pharmacy in the school scored 280 in jamb and score 90 in post UTME, the actual cut off mark will be calculated as follows;

280/8=35

90/2=45

35+45=80
