Amadeus University Information Technology Cut-Off Mark 2027/2028 and Admission Requirements

The Amadeus University Information Technology cut-off mark 2027/2028 candidates should plan with is 150 in the UTME. That is JAMB’s national minimum for universities, fixed at the 2026 policy meeting for 2026/2027 admissions, and Amadeus has not published a separate figure for Information Technology. Its admission page only says your score must be in line with the national minimum and the faculty’s requirements.

2027/2028 update: Amadeus University 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.

Before you register, check the course name. Information Technology is on Amadeus’s own programme list as a B.Sc. in the Faculty of Science and Computing. I could not open JAMB’s course list for Amadeus, so look for Information Technology under Amadeus University, Amizi on the JAMB e-brochure or at the registration centre before you pay. If it is missing there, Computer Science at Amadeus is the closest course to choose instead.

Below you will find the figures, a safe target score (my advice), the subjects JAMB requires, how Amadeus admits students, the 2024/2025 charges, and where the programme stands with the NUC now that the university has its Full Operational Licence.

Amadeus University Information Technology cut-off mark at a glance

Amadeus University Information Technology cut-off history

Amadeus began teaching in September 2024, so 2026/2027 is only its third admission round. In none of them did it publish a score for Information Technology. When JAMB released the institution-by-institution list of 2026 minimums, Amadeus was not on it, which means the university did not declare a figure above JAMB’s floor at that meeting. So the honest answer for Information Technology is 150, with no departmental line on top that anyone outside the admissions office can see.

Safe target score for Information Technology at Amadeus (my advice)

This is my judgement as an admissions adviser. Amadeus has not issued it, and it may change once the university has more applicants than places.

For Information Technology I would aim for at least 170 in the 2027 UTME, with credits or better in English, Mathematics and Physics. In my experience IT draws fewer applicants than Computer Science, which helps you at a new university.

UTME subject combination and O’level for Amadeus Information Technology

The brochure allows five different third subjects for Information Technology, which is wider than the ‘one other science’ you will see on many blogs. Economics and Geography count. I would still take Chemistry, because it keeps Computer Science and Computer Engineering open if you change course later. Use of English is compulsory for every UTME candidate. The remarks on the brochure page name FUD, Crescent, Salem, BUK and AUN. None of them is Amadeus, so the general rule above applies.

Amadeus’s own admission page adds its general rule: a WASSCE, NECO or GCE result with five credits, including English Language and Mathematics plus three other subjects relevant to the course. It does not say whether two sittings are allowed. Examkits reported in July 2025 that one or two sittings were accepted for 2025/2026, but I would still treat one sitting as the safe choice and ask admissions before relying on a combined result.

Direct Entry into Information Technology

JAMB’s brochure lets Direct Entry candidates in with two A-level science passes including Mathematics, or an NCE with merit in Mathematics and one science or social science subject. Amadeus has not published its own Direct Entry rules, the level DE students join at, or whether it takes ND holders. Ask admissions before you buy a DE form.

How Amadeus screens Information Technology applicants

Amadeus has not published a Post-UTME test, a screening fee or an aggregate formula. Here is what its admission page and the reports I found do say.

Worked example (illustrative)

With no published formula, the useful sum is the gap between your score, the 150 floor and the target above. These two candidates are invented to show the check.

Ngozi scored 176 and has B2 in Mathematics, B3 in English, C4 in Physics, and credits in Chemistry and Biology from one sitting.

1. Eligibility: 176 minus 150 = 26. She clears the minimum by 26 marks.
2. Against my target: 176 is above the 170 I suggest, so her score is comfortable.
3. Subjects: she sat Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry with English. That matches the brochure.
4. O’level: five credits including English, Mathematics and Physics, one sitting, uploaded to CAPS. Nothing rules her out.

Emeka scored 158 but has only a pass (D7) in Physics. 158 minus 150 = 8, so his score qualifies. His O’level does not: the brochure wants a Physics credit. He should resit Physics in the next WAEC or NECO before applying.

Some blogs print a 50:50 aggregate for every private university. Amadeus has published nothing of the kind, so do not build your plans on a calculation it does not use.

Your chances of admission into Information Technology at Amadeus

Amadeus only started admitting in 2024, and nothing it has published suggests the course is oversubscribed. For a candidate with 150 or more and a clean O’level, the risks that remain are mostly paperwork and money.

• In your favour: the university is young, private and still building numbers, and its stated minimum is the national floor.
• Against you: late applications, a missing O’level subject, or a JAMB subject combination that does not match the course.
• The real cost: fees. Plan the money before you plan the score (see the fees section below).

Information Technology or Computer Science at Amadeus?

Both are B.Sc. programmes in the same faculty and share JAMB’s subject rules, so the decision is about what you want to do with the degree.

Computer Science leans on theory: algorithms, programming languages, computation and mathematics. Information Technology leans on running systems for organisations: networks, databases, web systems, support and IT management. If you see yourself building software, look at Computer Science or Software Engineering. If you prefer keeping an organisation’s systems working, IT fits.

How to apply for Information Technology at Amadeus, step by step

1. 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.
2. Register the UTME correctly: choose Information Technology with Use of English, Mathematics, Physics and one of Biology, Chemistry, Agricultural Science, Economics or Geography (Chemistry is my pick), and pick Amadeus University, Amizi as your institution. If you chose another school, do a JAMB change of institution before applying.
3. Upload your O’level to CAPS: do it at a JAMB-accredited centre. Admission cannot go through on CAPS without it, and an awaiting-result candidate has to come back once the result is out.
4. Apply to Amadeus: fill the form at admissions.amadeus.edu.ng with your JAMB registration number and upload what it asks for.
5. Attend any interview or screening: the university may call you. Keep your phone and email active.
6. Accept on CAPS: log in at efacility.jamb.gov.ng, choose Check Admission Status, then Access my CAPS. JAMB gives four weeks to accept an offer, and our JAMB CAPS guide explains each status.
7. Pay acceptance and register: the acceptance fee was ₦200,000 in 2024/2025. Confirm the current amount with admissions before you pay.

JAMB set 30 November 2026 as the 2026/2027 admission deadline for private universities. In the 2025/2026 round, Amadeus closed admissions on 30 November 2025, so it works up to JAMB’s date.

Amadeus University fees for Information Technology students

Amadeus has not put tuition figures in any page I could open. The newest charges I found are the 2024/2025 fresh-student charges that Myschool reprinted from the university on 21 June 2024. They exclude tuition.

These are two sessions old, so expect changes. Amadeus says it offers full and partial scholarships, but it had not published the conditions in that notice. Ask about both when you apply.

Studying Information Technology at Amadeus University

Information Technology sits in the Faculty of Science and Computing at Amadeus, alongside Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Data Science and Software Engineering. The campus is at Amizi in Ikwuano Local Government Area, Abia State. Through the UTME the B.Sc. normally runs four years in Nigeria, including a period of industrial training.

What you study

• Early years: mathematics, introductory programming, computer fundamentals and the general studies every Nigerian student takes.
• Core IT: networking, operating systems, database systems, web development, systems analysis and design.
• Later years: IT project management, information security, cloud and enterprise systems, plus a final-year project.
• Industrial training: a placement in an organisation’s IT unit, under the national SIWES scheme.

Is Amadeus Information Technology accredited?

Here is the record as the university and the NUC show it. Amadeus received its NUC licence in June 2023. The NUC completed a resource verification in April 2024, and teaching began in September 2024 with 19 degree programmes, Information Technology among them. After a second resource verification on 1 to 3 March 2026, the NUC granted Amadeus a Full Operational Licence on 23 September 2026.

Programme accreditation is a separate step. Amadeus does not appear in the NUC’s Accreditation Results 1990 to 2025, and I found no NUC accreditation report for Information Technology. The NUC normally accredits a programme once its first students reach the later years, and Amadeus’s third academic session only starts in October 2026. So the accurate position for Information Technology is approved to run, accreditation not yet published. Ask admissions for the latest position before you accept.

Careers after the degree

• Network and systems administration in banks, telecoms firms and government agencies
• IT support and service management
• Database administration and web development
• IT audit and information security roles after further certification
• Postgraduate study in IT, information systems or computer science

Mistakes that cost Information Technology applicants an Amadeus place

• Treating 150 as a guarantee: it lets you apply. Amadeus still checks your O’level and may interview you.
• Dropping Physics: the brochure needs it in both the UTME and O’level.
• Registering a course name that is not under Amadeus: check the JAMB list first.
• O’level not on CAPS: admission cannot be processed without it.
• Accepting on CAPS and stopping there: acceptance fee and registration at Amadeus are separate steps.
• Applying after the deadline: Amadeus closed its 2025/2026 admissions on 30 November 2025.

Jude Chinecherem

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.
