Why Cut-Off Marks Matter
Cut-off marks are more than just numbers—they are the first gatekeepers in the admission process. They separate candidates who move forward into the Post-UTME stage from those who must wait for another chance next year.
For highly competitive courses like Medicine, Nursing, Law, and Pharmacy, the bar is set higher due to the large number of applicants fighting for limited spaces.
What’s Next for Candidates
Meeting the cut-off is only step one. Successful candidates must now prepare for the Post-UTME screening exercise, where performance will ultimately determine who gets admitted.

Final Word
Whether your score puts you above the cut-off or just below, remember: the Nigerian admission process is a marathon, not a sprint. Keep pushing forward. As students like to say, “person wey no give up fit still chop win.”
