Understanding Cut-off Marks

What Cut-off Marks Mean

The cut-off mark is the minimum JAMB score required to qualify for Post-UTME screening. However:

• Meeting the cut-off ≠ guaranteed admission
• It only qualifies you to register for screening
• Final admission depends on aggregate scores (JAMB + Post-UTME + O'Level)
• Departmental capacity limits how many students can be admitted

Competitive Reality

For high-demand programmes like Medicine, Law, and Nursing:

• Cut-off is 230, but successful candidates often score 270+
• O'Level results matter significantly
• Post-UTME performance is crucial
• Catchment area advantages may apply
