If you’re dreaming of studying Sociology at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), you’re probably wondering about the JAMB cut off mark for the 2025 admission cycle. Well, you’re in the right place! This blog post will break down everything you need to know—from the official cut off mark to tips on how to secure your admission.
Understanding JAMB Cut Off Marks
First things first, what exactly is a JAMB cut off mark? It’s the minimum score set by universities that determines whether you’re eligible for admission. Each school and course has its own requirement, and UNILAG is no exception.
For Sociology at UNILAG, the cut off mark usually falls within a specific range. While JAMB sets a general cut off (often 180), UNILAG may adjust it based on competition and departmental requirements.
UNILAG Sociology Cut Off Mark for 2025
As of now, the official JAMB cut off mark for Sociology at UNILAG in 2025 hasn’t been released. However, based on previous years, we can make an educated guess.
In recent years, the cut off mark for Sociology at UNILAG has been around 200. But remember, this can change depending on factors like:
The number of applicants
Performance of candidates in that year’s UTME
UNILAG’s admission policies
To stay updated, always check the official UNILAG website or the JAMB portal.
What If You Score Below the Cut Off Mark?
Don’t panic if your score is slightly below the expected cut off. UNILAG sometimes considers candidates who meet the departmental cut off during post-UTME screenings. Here’s what you can do:
Excel in Post-UTME – UNILAG conducts a post-UTME screening, and performing well here can boost your chances.
Consider a Change of Course – If Sociology is highly competitive, you might explore related courses like Psychology or Social Work.
Apply for Supplementary Admission – Some years, UNILAG offers supplementary forms for candidates who didn’t make the initial cut.
How to Increase Your Chances of Admission
Scoring above the cut off mark is just the first step. Here’s how to stand out:
1. Aim Higher Than the Cut Off
Don’t just settle for the minimum. Aim for at least 220+ to stay competitive, especially since UNILAG is a top-choice university.
2. Prepare Well for Post-UTME
UNILAG’s post-UTME is a game-changer. Past questions and focused study will help. Check out UNILAG’s past questions for practice.
