Sokoto State University Sets Cut-Off Mark for Mass Communication Program

As Sokoto State University (SSU) prepares for the upcoming academic year, prospective students have been eager to learn about the admission criteria for its popular Mass Communication program. The university has officially set the cut-off mark for the Mass Communication program at 220 for the 2024 academic session.

This cut-off mark, announced following the release of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results, reflects the competitive nature of the program. The Mass Communication department at SSU is known for its rigorous curriculum and distinguished faculty, making it a highly sought-after course for students interested in media and communication careers.

The decision to set the cut-off mark at 220 is indicative of the program's high demand and the university’s commitment to maintaining academic excellence. Students who meet this threshold will be eligible to participate in the Post-UTME screening process, which will further assess their readiness and suitability for the program.

Dr. Sarah Aliyu, the Acting Head of the Mass Communication Department, commented on the announcement, saying, "We are pleased to set a cut-off mark that reflects the high standards and competitive nature of our Mass Communication program. Our goal is to ensure that we admit students who are not only academically prepared but also passionate about pursuing a career in media and communication."

The Post-UTME screening will involve an evaluation of candidates' academic abilities, as well as an assessment of their general understanding of media-related subjects. This additional screening process aims to select students who are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities within the field of Mass Communication.

Prospective students are advised to ensure that they meet the cut-off mark and complete all necessary registration steps for the Post-UTME screening. The university has set up a dedicated support system to assist candidates with any questions or issues related to the admission process.

As Sokoto State University moves forward with its admissions for the new academic year, the setting of a competitive cut-off mark for the Mass Communication program highlights the institution’s commitment to fostering a high standard of education and preparing students for successful careers in the dynamic field of media and communication.
