Alex Ekwueme University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State admission requirement, tuition fees and cut off mark

 
##Admission Requirements
For 100-level (UTME) entry: You need five (5) credit passes at SSCE/WAEC/NECO (or equivalent) in not more than two sittings, and these must include English Language and Mathematics. 

You also must obtain a satisfactory score in the Joint Admissions & Matriculation Board (JAMB) UTME in relevant subjects. 

For Direct Entry (200-level) admission: In addition to the O’Level credit passes, you must possess at least two A-Level passes (or equivalent), or NCE/OND with credit, or a good first degree (as required by the department) in relevant subjects. 

On top of the general requirements, you must satisfy any faculty/departmental subject-combination requirements for the course you’re applying to. 

##Tuition Fees / School Charges
Here are some recent figures and guidelines — note that fees may vary by department, year, and whether you’re a new or returning student.

For the 2025/2026 academic session, the published “student charges” for many faculties (excluding Law, Medicine) list an amount around ?137,000 for fresh students in one faculty example. 

For international students, one breakdown shows: for all faculties excluding Medicine & Engineering, fresh students pay a school fee of ?144,000 plus accommodation ?30,000 = ?174,000 total. For Engineering = ~?246,000; for Medicine = ~?630,000. 

Some earlier sources (2024/2025) list for new students ~?50,000 for “tuition” broadly, though other charges apply so the actual total is higher. 

Note: Always check the official AE-FUNAI website or your department portal for the latest exact fee for your course and session — because departmental levies, faculty dues, and changes happen.

##Cut-Off Mark
The general UTME minimum (i.e., the least score to be considered) for AE-FUNAI for the 2025/2026 session is reported to be 150 marks. 

Some departmental cut-off marks (for specific courses) were listed in one source: 
Accountancy	160 

Agricultural Science & Education	150 

Anatomy	180 

Applied Geophysics	150 

Architecture	150 

Banking & Finance	160 

Biochemistry	160 

Biology	150 

Biotechnology	150 

Business Administration	160 

Chemical Engineering	160 

Civil Engineering	160 

Computer Science	160 

Medicine & Surgery	250 

Nursing Science		220

Important to know: Achieving the minimum cut-off means you qualify for screening, but does not guarantee admission. Your O’Level results, subject combination, Post-UTME performance and available slots matter too.

##Key Takeaways
Choose AE-FUNAI as your first choice when filling your JAMB UTME application to ensure proper consideration.

Ensure you have your five credit passes (including English & Maths) within two sittings before applying.

For your desired course, check early for any special subject-combination requirement (especially for science, engineering or health-related courses).

Aim to score well above the minimum (150) if you’re going for a competitive course — higher scores increase your chances.

Verify the exact fee schedule for your course and year; budget not only for tuition but also departmental levies, faculty dues, and hostel/ accommodation if applicable.

Don’t just aim to meet the minimum cut-off — view it as the entry line, then aim higher for better chances.
