KSUSTA Departmental Cut Off Mark for 2025/2026

Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero has set 150 as the lowest UTME score for most courses in the 2025/2026 session, with higher marks for professional courses. Applicants must meet the cut-off for their chosen programme to be considered for screening. Read on for full list of scores and next steps.

If you have been eyeing Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero, here’s the news fresh from the source. The school has called time on guessing games and put its cut-off marks on the table.

They are not sugar-coating it. 150 is the base number for most courses. Some climb higher, especially if you are going near medicine or engineering. Meeting it doesn’t mean you are admitted, but it puts your name in the hat.

A brief on KSUSTA

Tucked in Aliero since 2006, the school has quietly grown into its space. It’s not about flashy slogans or tall promises. Their strength is clear: science, agriculture, engineering, education. That’s where they play, and they play it steady.

It’s a place with heat in the air, red dust on your shoes, and a mix of old roofs and new ideas.
