What are Cut Off Marks?

Cut-off marks are minimum scores set by educational institutions to scale students for admission into various academic programs. These scores serve as a basis for selecting candidates from a pool of applicants, ensuring that those admitted meet a certain academic standard.

UNILAG Cut-Off Mark for 2023/24 Academic Session

Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scores are a standard entrance Examination for Nigerian universities. Although Jamb announced 180 as a passing mark for Universities, the universities can increase the grade if many candidates apply to study with them.

As seen in the UNILAG case and some other federal universities, the admission committee set the UNILAG cut-off mark for the 2023/24 academic session at the 200 pass mark in 2023 UTME, which serves as the general score for the screening exercise. However, there are some courses with higher scores in the UTME.

Like many other universities, it sets cut-off marks based on factors such as the competitiveness of the course, the number of available spaces, and the overall performance of candidates in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

Factors Influencing UNILAG Cut-Off Mark:

Course Competitiveness: The cut-off marks are usually higher because there is a greater demand for the few available spots in highly sought-after courses.
JAMB Scores: The JAMB exam results significantly impact the cut-off marks, as was already mentioned. The minimum and maximum scores for a course might vary.
Past Performance: An additional factor that could affect the cut-off is a candidate’s past performance in a given course. The cut-off may be raised if a course continuously attracts highly qualified applicants.
Available Spaces: The number of available slots in a program can impact the cut-off. Limited spaces may lead to a higher cut-off to select the best-performing candidates.
Catchment Area :UNILAG, like many institutions, has a catchment area, and particular preference is given to people from each area

Significance of UNILAG Cut-Off Mark

Competitive Selection: UNILAG cut-off mark are vital in selecting the most qualified candidates from a competitive pool. Higher cut-off marks indicate a more rigorous selection process.
Maintaining Academic Standards: Setting cut-off marks allows UNILAG to maintain academic excellence by ensuring that admitted students meet a minimum standard of proficiency.
Fairness and Transparency: The establishment of cut-off marks promotes fairness and transparency in the admission process. It provides a clear benchmark against which all applicants are assessed.
