University of Lagos (UNILAG) Cut-Off Marks

Hi there! Navigating the admission process at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) can be challenging, especially when it comes to understanding the cut-off marks. If you’re planning to apply to UNILAG, knowing the cut-off marks for your desired course is essential. But before then…

A Brief Overview

The University of Lagos (UNILAG), established in 1962, is one of Nigeria’s premier institutions of higher learning. Located in the bustling city of Lagos, UNILAG is renowned for its diverse academic programs, vibrant campus life, and significant contributions to research and development.

The university offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses across various faculties, including Medicine, Engineering, Law, Arts, Business Administration, and Sciences.

Cut-off marks are critical because they determine your eligibility for admission into various courses. From my research, I’ve learned that the cut-off marks are not only a reflection of your performance in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) but also play a significant role in the post-UTME screening process.

This article will give you a comprehensive overview of the general and departmental cut-off marks at UNILAG, factors influencing these marks, and tips to improve your chances of gaining admission. Whether you’re aiming for Medicine, Engineering, or Mass Communication, understanding these cut-off marks will help you strategize and prepare better.

Let’s dive in and explore everything you need to know about UNILAG’s cut-off marks!

What Are Cut-Off Marks?

Cut-off marks are the minimum scores required for admission into a particular course at a university. They are used to filter candidates during the admission process, ensuring that only those who meet or exceed these marks are considered for admission.

UNILAG’s General Cut-Off Mark

UNILAG’s general cut-off mark for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is usually set by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). For most years, UNILAG adheres to JAMB’s directive, which is typically around 200. This means you must score at least 200 in your UTME to be eligible to apply for any course at UNILAG.

Departmental Cut-Off Marks

While the general cut-off mark is 200, each department at UNILAG has its specific cut-off mark based on the performance of applicants in both the UTME and the post-UTME screening.

Unilag Departmental Cut off Mark 2025/2026

The minimum score required to get admitted to a school’s course or department is known as the departmental cut off mark. Unilag, for example, has a general cut off mark of 200, but merit separate cut off marks for Pharmacy 74.5,  for Common Law 73.25, and  for Medicine 83.35. You can get that departmental through a simple calculation which we will explain here. The more competitive the course, the higher the cut off mark. Each university has a specific cut off mark for all disciplines each year. Some universities make their departmental cut off mark public, while others do not.

How to Calculate UNILAG Screening Aggregate Cut off Mark 2025/2026

O’Level → 20%

UTME → 50%

Post UTME → 30%

This is how you calculate Unilag screening aggregate cut off mark;

O’level result:

A1 = 4 points

B2 = 3.6 points

B3 = 3.2 points

C4 = 2.8 points

C5 = 2.4 points

C6 = 2.0 points

Calculate your 5 Core subjects only.

UTME/JAMB Score:

Divide your JAMB/UTME by 8

EDivide your post UTME Score by 2

NB: The Candidate must not score below 40% in Post UTME to stand a chance.

Take for instance, you had four As and one B in your O’level result (five core subjects) , scored 280 in your JAMB, and scored 75 in your Post Utme.

O’level result:

Four As and one B = 19.6

Jamb/utme score:

280/8 = 35

Post utme score:

75/2 = 37.5

Your unilag aggregate cut off mark = 92.1

Factors Influencing Cut-Off Marks

Several factors influence UNILAG’s cut-off marks each year:

Number of Applicants

High competition can raise cut-off marks. When more students apply for a particular course, the cut-off mark tends to increase.

Applicant Performance

Higher overall performance can lead to higher cut-off marks. If applicants generally score higher in the UTME and post-UTME, the cut-off mark will likely be higher.

Course Demand

Popular courses typically have higher cut-off marks. Courses like Medicine, Law, and Engineering usually have higher cut-off marks due to their high demand.

How to Improve Your Chances
