Unilag Cut-Off Marks 2025: What Should You Aim For?
Cut-off marks vary by department and are based on your aggregate score, calculated from:
JAMB UTME Score – 50%
Post UTME – 30%
O’Level grades – 20%
Expected Departmental Cut-Off Marks (Estimates)
| Faculty | Course | Estimated Cut-Off (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Medicine | MBBS | 78 – 80% |
| Law | LL.B | 73 – 75% |
| Engineering | Electrical/Mechanical | 72 – 74% |
| Management Sciences | Accounting | 71 – 73% |
| Social Sciences | Economics | 70 – 72% |
| Arts | Mass Comm | 72 – 74% |
| Sciences | Computer Science | 73 – 75% |
Use this formula:
For O’Level, A1 = 4.0 points, B2 = 3.6, B3 = 3.2, etc., for your five best subjects.
Maximum total aggregate score = 100%
Example:
JAMB Score = 280 → 280/8 = 35
Post UTME Score = 30/40 = 75% → 75/2 = 37.5
O’Level: 4 A1s, 1 B2 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 3.6 = 19.6
Total = 35 + 37.5 + 19.6 = 92.1%
