UNILAG Cut Off Mark 2026/2027 What Score Do You Need?
The UNILAG cut off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 200. Any candidate who scored below 200 in the 2026 JAMB UTME cannot be considered for admission.
However, 200 is only the entry point into the screening exercise. What actually determines your admission is your aggregate score, which combines your JAMB score, O’Level results, and Post UTME performance. The departmental aggregate cut offs for the most competitive courses give a clearer picture:
- Medicine and Surgery: merit aggregate of approximately 82.125
- Law: merit aggregate of approximately 76.025
- Computer Science: merit aggregate above 83
- Nursing Science: merit aggregate approximately 79.0 to 79.8
- Accounting: merit aggregate approximately 75.7
- Engineering courses: typically aggregate of 70 and above
These departmental aggregates shift slightly each year based on performance. Meeting them requires a strong Post UTME score on top of a strong JAMB score.
How UNILAG Calculates the Aggregate Score
The aggregate scores of applicants are determined by a ratio of 20:50:30. 20% is for your O’Level results, 50% is your UTME (JAMB) score, while 30% goes to the Post UTME score.
Here is how to calculate your UNILAG aggregate:
Step 1 — O’Level Score (20%): Convert your five best O’Level grades to points: – A1 = 6 points, B2 = 5, B3 = 4, C4 = 3, C5 = 2, C6 = 1 – Sum the five relevant subject grades and multiply by 20/30
Step 2 — JAMB Score (50%): Divide your JAMB score by 8
Step 3 — Post UTME Score (30%): Use your raw Post UTME score (out of 30)
Add all three to get your aggregate out of 100.
Example: A candidate with JAMB score 240, five O’Level credits averaging B2 (5 points each = 25 points), and Post UTME score of 24 out of 30: – JAMB: 240 divided by 8 = 30 – O’Level: 25 multiplied by 20/30 = approximately 16.7 – Post UTME: 24 – Aggregate = 70.7
Candidates who score well in JAMB but ignore Post UTME preparation have lost admission spots at UNILAG to candidates with lower JAMB scores but stronger screening performances. That is the reality of how competitive UNILAG admissions are.
