RSU Post-UTME Past Questions: How to Prepare

Unlike many universities on this list, RSU’s screening does include a real written test, and it has an unusual twist worth knowing:

Your test covers your UTME subjects, the same combination you registered for in JAMB.
Additionally, every candidate, regardless of course is tested on basic Mathematics, Current Affairs, and General Knowledge. This applies even if your course doesn’t normally require Mathematics as a UTME subject.
Revise current events from the months leading up to your test, since General Knowledge and Current Affairs are explicitly part of the screening for all faculties.
Practice basic arithmetic and number skills, since calculators aren’t allowed in the exam hall.
Be cautious with vendors selling “RSU past questions” while practicing general CBT-style questions is reasonable preparation, no source confirms an officially authenticated RSU-specific question bank.

RSU Post-UTME Cut-Off Mark

The JAMB cut-off mark for RSU is 190 across all faculties for the 2026/2027 session, this applies uniformly, unlike universities that vary the cut-off by department from the start.

RSU doesn’t publish a confirmed aggregate formula or departmental cut-off table in available sources for this cycle. What’s confirmed:

RSU offers competitive programmes in Medicine, Law, Engineering, and Management Sciences, these naturally draw the highest volume of competitive applicants.
Meeting the 190 baseline only gets you into the screening room your actual admission depends on your performance in the CBT exam combined with your JAMB score.
