JAMB Cut-Off Mark for all Federal Universities

2024 JAMB Cut-Off Mark for University of Lagos

As the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), I am pleased to announce the cutoff mark for admission into the University of Lagos (UNILAG) for the 2024 academic session. UNILAG is one of Nigeria’s most prestigious universities, and admission into this institution is highly competitive.

For the 2024/2025 academic year, the minimum cutoff mark for admission into UNILAG is 250 out of a possible 400 on the UTME. Candidates must also have at least five O’level credits, including English Language and Mathematics, to be eligible for admission into UNILAG. The O’level results must not be older than 5 years.

In addition to meeting the cutoff mark and O’level requirements, admission into UNILAG is not guaranteed. Candidates are also evaluated based on their O’level grades, UTME scores, and performance at the post-UTME screening. The number of available spaces in each department and course is a determining factor as well.

The cutoff mark for some of the most competitive courses such as Medicine, Law, Engineering and Accounting is typically higher than 250. For these courses, candidates may need scores of 260 or above to have a reasonable chance of admission. The post-UTME screening for these competitive courses is also usually more intensive.

Candidates are advised to choose courses they have a genuine interest and ability in, rather than courses they perceive as prestigious. Your choice of course will determine your career path and lifelong fulfillment. I wish all candidates the very best in the admissions process.

2024 JAMB Cut-Off Mark for University of Ibadan

As the premier university in Nigeria, the University of Ibadan (UI) sets a high JAMB cut-off mark each year for admission into its various undergraduate programs. For the 2024/2025 academic session, I am pleased to announce the following cut-off marks for entry into UI:

• For admission into courses in the Faculties of Agriculture and Forestry, candidates must obtain at least 220 on the JAMB Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Applicants interested in the Departments of Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Extension and Rural Development, and Forest Resources Management need scores of at least 230 to be considered.
• A score of at least 240 is required for most courses in the Faculties of Arts, Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Dentistry, Education, Law, Pharmacy, Public Health, Science, Social Sciences, Technology, and the College of Medicine. However, certain competitive courses like Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Law, and Pharmacy may need higher scores of 260 and above.
• For Engineering and Technology-based courses, candidates must obtain a minimum score of 250 on the JAMB UTME. However, scores of 260 and above are preferable for programs like Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering.

The cut-off marks highlighted here serve only as a guide. Candidates must also obtain the minimum scores in relevant UTME subjects and the required grades in their O-level results to gain admission into their chosen programs. I wish all applicants the very best as they pursue their academic aspirations.

2024 JAMB Cut-Off Mark for University of Nigeria, Nsukka

As a prospective undergraduate student hoping to gain admission into the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in 2024, it is important to know the cut-off mark set by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for the institution. According to the recently released cut-off marks by JAMB, the minimum cut-off mark for admission into UNN is 180.

Eligibility for Admission

To be eligible for admission into UNN, you must score 180 or above in the 2024 UTME. However, scoring above the minimum cut-off mark does not guarantee you admission. The higher your score, the higher your chances of gaining admission into the university. UNN, being a prestigious federal university, receives thousands of applications annually, so aim for at least 200 and above to stand a good chance.

Additional Admission Requirements

In addition to meeting the cut-off mark, to secure admission into UNN, you must:

• Meet UNN’s cut-off mark in a UTME subject combination relevant to your chosen course of study.
• Obtain at least five (5) credits in SSCE/NECO in relevant subjects at not more than two sittings
• Partake in UNN’s post-UTME screening exercise which may include an aptitude test and/or interview
• Meet other faculty and departmental requirements as specified on the university’s website.

Admission Quota

UNN has an admission quota system in place to ensure fair representation of states and areas in Nigeria. 45% of available admission spaces are reserved for candidates from Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia and Ebonyi states. The remaining 55% are allocated to candidates from other states in Nigeria. Meeting the cut-off mark does not guarantee you will be admitted if the admission quota for your state or area has already been met.

In conclusion, to gain admission into UNN, work hard to excel in UTME and post-UTME screening, obtain the required O’level credits, and apply as early as possible before your state’s admission quota is filled. I wish you the very best in your admission quest.

As the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) released the cut-off mark for admission into Nigerian universities for the 2024 academic session, I will focus on the specific cut-off mark for Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria.

Departmental Cut-Off Marks

The cut-off mark for admission into ABU varies based on the department and course of study. Some departments have higher cut-off marks than others based on competition and availability of spaces. For the 2024/2025 academic session, the cut-off mark for the following departments are:

Meeting the Cut-Off Mark

To gain admission into ABU, candidates must meet or exceed the cut-off mark for their desired course of study in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). In addition to the cut-off mark, candidates must have at least five credits at the Senior Secondary School Examination (SSCE) or its equivalent, including English Language and Mathematics.

Post-UTME Screening

Candidates who meet the cut-off mark for their selected course will be invited for a post-UTME screening. The screening helps determine candidates’ suitability for the proposed program. The post-UTME typically consists of an aptitude test in the relevant fields of study. Candidates’ UTME scores, SSCE results, and performance in the post-UTME screening will be used to determine admission.

In summary, gaining admission into ABU requires meeting the departmental cut-off mark, having the minimum entry requirements, and performing well in the post-UTME screening. While competition is often intense, especially for professional courses, with diligent preparation, candidates stand a good chance of admission into one of the top universities in Nigeria.
