What is the cut off mark for UNILAG?

The University of Lagos’ cut off mark is 200, but some programs have a higher score/target mark.

How does UNILAG admission work?

The deadline for UNILAG admission 2022/2023 is 6th November 2022. The institution will notify selected candidates about their admission via email. Therefore, provide their email addresses while applying for admission.

UNILAG admission has two phases. First, you will undergo a pre-screening exercise. Take your JAMB scores and SSCE results to UNILAG upon receiving their email.

UNILAG releases a student admission list. Those who passed the pre-screening exercise are invited for another screening via email. Bring these documents with you:

  • Letter of good conduct from your village head or any responsible community member.
  • Original copies of the educational qualifications.
  • Awaiting results are not accepted.
  • Original copy of a birth certificate.
  • Certificate of Local Government of Origin. JAMB result slip.
  • Secondary school testimonial.
  • Eight passport-sized photographs.

How to calculate the JAMB-UNILAG cut off mark for 2022/2023

Only those who pass screening exercises and submit all the required documents are admitted. Increase your chances of admission by calculating UNILAG’s departmental aggregation score. You should have these figures to calculate your JAMB postUTME score:

  • O – Level: 20%
  • UTME: 50%
  • Post UTME: 30%

How to calculate a UTME (JAMB) score

  • Divide the UTME (JAMB) result by eight.
  • Divide the post-UTME (JAMB) score by two.
  • Sum up the two figures you get.

UNILAG entrance candidates who score below 40% in the post-UTME (JAMB) tests lose their chances of admission.

How to calculate your O- level points

  • A1 – 4 points
  • B2 – 3.6 points
  • B3 – 3.2 points
  • C4 – 2.8 points
  • C5 – 2.5 points
  • C6 – 2.0 points

Use the grade point for calculating your five core subjects.

However, subjects with D7, E8, or F9 are not considered in calculating O- Level points.

The JAMB-UNILAG cut off mark for 2022/2023 helps higher learning institutions manage the massive applications and stiff competition among applicants.
