The ADSU cut-off mark for Agricultural Extension and Innovation is 150 in the UTME. Adamawa State University, Mubi printed that figure for “Agricultural Ext. & Innovation” in its approved programme cut-off list for the 2026/2027 session, signed for the Registrar by Admission Officer Dunfe S. Anjili. That matches JAMB’s national minimum for universities.
2027/2028 update: ADSU cut-off marks usually stay the same from one year to the next, so the figures on this page are what 2027/2028 candidates should plan with. They come from the latest official notice (2026/2027). If the 2027/2028 notice changes anything, we will update this page.
There is a catch. I could not find Agricultural Extension and Innovation on JAMB’s course list for ADSU, as reprinted by Myschool on 3 November 2026. ADSU has listed it at 150 in both its 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 cut-off lists, so it is not brand new; JAMB may hold it under another name, or the Myschool reprint may be out of date. Until you can see it on the JAMB portal, treat it with care. This page gives the official figure, what to check, the closest subject combination and the alternatives.
Confirm before you register
Agricultural Extension and Innovation is on ADSU’s 2026/2027 cut-off list but not on JAMB’s course list for ADSU that I checked. Confirm that you can select it on the JAMB portal (or that ADSU will admit into it through CAPS) before you register or pay anyone. If you cannot find it, Agricultural Economics and Extension is on the JAMB list at the same 150.

ADSU Agricultural Extension and Innovation cut-off history
| Session | ADSU cut-off for Agricultural Extension and Innovation | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2026/2027 | 150 | ADSU approved programme cut-off list (signed for the Registrar by Dunfe S. Anjili) |
| 2025/2026 | 150 | ADSU programme cut-off list for 2025/2026 (signed for the Registrar by Angyatiya B. Atimi) |
| Change | No change | Comparison of the two official lists |
ADSU kept Agricultural Extension and Innovation at 150 in both sessions. Most of ADSU’s list did not move between the two years. The changes were at the top: Law rose from 220 to 230 for Adamawa indigenes and from 250 to 260 for everyone else, Biochemistry went from 160 to 170, and Animal Production and Business Administration went from 150 to 160. Two years at 150 is a good sign that 150 is the figure to plan with for 2027/2028.
Where Agricultural Extension and Innovation sits among ADSU’s cut-off tiers
| ADSU cut-off | Programmes on the 2026/2027 list |
|---|---|
| 230 (Adamawa indigenes) and 260 (non-indigenes) | Common Law and Sharia |
| 170 | Biochemistry, Microbiology, Computer Science |
| 160 | Animal Production, Cyber Security, Business Administration, Mass Communication |
| 150 | Every other programme on the list, including all Arts and Education courses and the remaining Agriculture, Science, Management and Social Science courses |
The course is in the 150 group with Agricultural Economics and Extension, Crop Science, Fisheries and Aquaculture and Agribusiness. Animal Production is the only agric course at 160.
Why the JAMB list matters for this course
JAMB admissions run through CAPS, and CAPS works with the courses JAMB holds for each institution. If a course is missing from JAMB’s list, you cannot choose it at registration. ADSU could still admit candidates into it by offering a course change on CAPS, but that depends on ADSU and JAMB, and I could not confirm how ADSU handled it in 2026/2027.
| Option | ADSU cut-off | On JAMB’s ADSU list |
|---|---|---|
| Agricultural Extension and Innovation | 150 | Not found |
| Agricultural Economics and Extension | 150 | Yes |
| Crop Science (JAMB: Crop Production) | 150 | Yes |
| Agribusiness | 150 | Not found |
My advice is simple. If you want extension work, register Agricultural Economics and Extension, which already includes extension in its name and content, and ask ADSU during screening whether you can move into Agricultural Extension and Innovation. Get any answer in writing from the department or the admissions office.
Safe target score for Agricultural Extension and Innovation at ADSU (my advice)
ADSU publishes a minimum score for each course and nothing about the scores of the people it finally admitted. The table below is my judgement as an admissions adviser, based on where Agricultural Extension and Innovation sits on ADSU’s list. It is not an ADSU rule.
| Your UTME score | My read for ADSU Agricultural Extension and Innovation |
|---|---|
| Below 150 | Not eligible for Agricultural Extension and Innovation at ADSU, and below JAMB’s national minimum for universities |
| 150 to 164 | Eligible. Clean O’level results and early CAPS upload matter most here |
| 165 to 179 | Comfortable for a 150-tier course at ADSU |
| 180 and above | Strong. This is the range I would aim for |
For the 2027 UTME I would aim for at least 170, ideally 180, with credits in English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science and one of Physics, Economics or Geography. Those subjects also fit the closest JAMB-listed course.
Catchment and indigeneship
The only catchment rule on ADSU’s 2026/2027 list is in Law, where Adamawa indigenes need 230 and everyone else needs 260. Agricultural Extension and Innovation has one figure, 150, for every candidate. ADSU has published no state quota or catchment split for the course, so a candidate from Borno, Gombe or Lagos faces the same printed minimum as one from Mubi.
UTME subject combination and O’level for ADSU Agricultural Extension and Innovation
| Requirement | Agricultural Extension and Innovation at ADSU |
|---|---|
| UTME subjects | No brochure entry for this course at ADSU. The closest listed ADSU course (Agricultural Economics and Extension) asks for Use of English, Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science, and Mathematics or Physics |
| O’level (closest listed course) | Five credits: English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science, and one of Physics, Economics or Geography |
| ADSU general rule | Five credits including English Language and Mathematics (2026/2027 notice) |
| Exams accepted | WAEC, NECO or NABTEB |
| Status | Confirm on the JAMB portal and with ADSU |
Because there is no brochure line for this exact course at ADSU, I cannot give you a confirmed UTME combination. Using the Agricultural Economics and Extension line is the safest bet, because it keeps you eligible for that course and the other 150 agric courses that share it.
Ask ADSU, ideally in writing, which UTME subjects it will accept for Agricultural Extension and Innovation before you register.
Direct Entry
I found no Direct Entry rule for this course. For the closest listed course, the general line asks for two A-level passes in Chemistry and a biology-type subject. ADSU screened Direct Entry candidates online in 2026/2027; ask the department what it accepts for this programme.
How ADSU screening worked for Agricultural Extension and Innovation in 2026/2027
ADSU ran its 2026/2027 screening online. Its notice, as reprinted by Myschool on 12 June 2026, described an online exercise and did not announce any written test, so do not let anyone sell you ADSU “post-UTME past questions” as if a test were certain.
| Detail | ADSU 2026/2027 screening |
|---|---|
| Who could apply | Candidates who chose ADSU as first choice in the 2026 UTME, scored 150 or more and met the course cut-off, plus Direct Entry candidates. Others had to make ADSU their first choice on the JAMB portal |
| Minimum for Agricultural Extension and Innovation | 150 |
| O’level | Five credits including English Language and Mathematics |
| Fee | ₦2,000 |
| Dates | Monday 15 June to 30 October 2026 (closed) |
| Where | www.adsu.edu.ng, through the post UTME link |
| Written test | None announced in the notice |
Worked example: two Agricultural Extension and Innovation candidates
ADSU has not published an aggregate formula, and with no announced test there was no Post-UTME score to combine with the UTME. So the useful sum is the gap between your score, the 150 cut-off and the safe target above. The two candidates below are illustrations.
- Fatima (166, UTME English, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics; five credits including Economics): 166 minus 150 = 16 marks above the cut-off. She cannot find the course on JAMB, so she registers Agricultural Economics and Extension, which her subjects fit, and asks ADSU about the newer course.
- Daniel (172, UTME English, Economics, Government and Agricultural Science): 172 minus 150 = 22 marks, but no Chemistry. His subjects do not fit the closest listed agric course, and nobody has confirmed what Agricultural Extension and Innovation accepts.
Fatima has a route whatever happens with the new programme. Daniel is depending on a course whose requirements no one has published, which is the position I would avoid.
How to apply for Agricultural Extension and Innovation at ADSU, step by step
- Get your JAMB profile code: send NIN, a space and your 11-digit NIN to 55019 or 66019 from the phone line linked to your NIN.
- Register the UTME correctly: if the course is not on the portal, choose Agricultural Economics and Extension with English, Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science, and Mathematics or Physics, with Adamawa State University, Mubi as your first choice.
- Fix your first choice if needed: ADSU’s notice told candidates who had not chosen ADSU to change their first choice to ADSU on the JAMB portal. Our guide to JAMB change of institution explains how.
- Upload your O’level to CAPS: do it at an accredited JAMB centre as soon as your result is out. ADSU needs five credits including English Language and Mathematics.
- Complete ADSU screening: when ADSU opens screening (in 2026 it ran from 15 June to 30 October), go to www.adsu.edu.ng, click the post UTME link, fill in your details and pay the screening fee (₦2,000 in 2026). Print what the portal gives you.
- Watch and accept on CAPS: log in at efacility.jamb.gov.ng, open Check Admission Status, then Access my CAPS. Accept the offer when it appears. JAMB gives four weeks to accept.
- Pay acceptance and clear: ADSU’s acceptance fee was not in any official source I could reach, so take the amount and payment method from the ADSU portal itself, never from an agent.
JAMB set 31 October 2026 as the 2026/2027 admission deadline for public universities, and ADSU is a state-owned public university; that date has now passed. If you applied in 2026, check your status on JAMB CAPS and the ADSU portal. Our JAMB CAPS guide explains each status. If you are writing the UTME in 2027, start with when JAMB 2027 registration starts.
Studying Agricultural Extension and Innovation at ADSU
The programme is in ADSU’s Faculty of Agriculture at Mubi. ADSU has not stated the degree title or duration. Agriculture degrees in Nigeria are usually B.Agric and normally take five years through the UTME.
Accreditation
NUC’s accreditation results publication (1990 to 2025) has no line for Agricultural Extension and Innovation at ADSU. It lists ADSU Agriculture as Full, maturing in 2029. A programme that is new or newly renamed may not appear until NUC visits it, so ask ADSU for its approval status before you pay acceptance.
What you study
Programmes with this kind of title usually build on the extension half of agricultural economics and extension, with more on new technology. ADSU has not published a course outline that I could check, so read the list below as typical content.
- Extension practice: extension methods, adult education and communication with farming households.
- Rural society: rural sociology, community development and gender in agriculture.
- Innovation: how farmers adopt new practices, digital advisory tools and programme planning and evaluation.
- Production base: introductory crop, animal and soil science and a practical period.
Careers
- Extension agent with a state agricultural development programme
- Field officer with NGOs and development projects
- Farmer outreach roles in agro-input and agritech companies
- Postgraduate study in extension or rural development

Mistakes that cost Agricultural Extension and Innovation applicants an ADSU place
- Paying anyone to “add” the course to your JAMB profile: course lists are set by JAMB and the university.
- Reading 150 as an admission score: it is the minimum to be considered. Admission still depends on the pool of applicants.
- Missing Mathematics: ADSU’s notice asked for five credits including English Language and Mathematics, whatever the course.
- No O’level on CAPS: an upload done late or at the wrong centre leaves your record incomplete when ADSU reviews it.
- Leaving ADSU as second choice: the screening notice was for first-choice candidates.
- Accepting on CAPS and stopping there: acceptance fee and clearance at ADSU are separate steps.

Sources and updates
The 150 cut-off for Agricultural Extension and Innovation and the full list of ADSU tiers come from ADSU’s approved programme cut-off mark list for the 2026/2027 session, issued by the Office of the Registrar and signed by Dunfe S. Anjili, Admission Officer, for the Registrar. The 2025/2026 figures come from ADSU’s programme cut-off mark list for 2025/2026, signed for the Registrar by Angyatiya B. Atimi. The 150 general minimum, the five-credit O’level rule, the ₦2,000 fee, the 15 June to 30 October 2026 window and the online screening come from ADSU’s Post-UTME/DE notice as reprinted by Myschool (12 June 2026) and Androidpols (15 June 2026); I did not see the original notice PDF. The national minimum of 150, the 31 October 2026 deadline for public universities and the four-week acceptance window come from the News Agency of Nigeria (11 May 2026). Subject guidance uses the JAMB brochure entry for Agricultural Economics and Extension as reprinted by Myschool, because Myschool’s JAMB list for ADSU (checked 3 November 2026) has no Agricultural Extension and Innovation entry. Accreditation details are from NUC’s undergraduate accreditation results publication (1990 to 2025). The safe target scores and worked examples are my advice, not ADSU policy, and ADSU’s acceptance fee is not confirmed. Checked on 3 November 2026; this page will be updated when ADSU publishes its 2027/2028 cut-off list.
I am Jude Chinecherem, a final-year MBBS student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I know what it feels like to want an education your family cannot afford. When my parents could not pay for my schooling, I had to learn how to find scholarships and work the system out on my own, with nobody to guide me. I came out the other side, and now I share everything I learned so the next student does not have to figure it out alone. This is the advice I wish someone had given me back then.
