UNILAG 2025/2026 Post-UTME Cut-Off Marks Released — See the Full Departmental Breakdown and What It Means for You
The Wait Is Over: UNILAG Releases 2025/2026 Cut-Off Marks
After weeks of anticipation and countless refreshes on admission portals, the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has finally dropped its 2025/2026 Post-UTME cut-off marks — and yes, it’s that list every aspiring student has been waiting for.
But this isn’t just another list. For thousands of candidates, these figures carry stories of sleepless nights, determination, and hope. One score can change everything: are you in, or are you out?
UNILAG Cut-Off Marks: What You Need to Know
UNILAG has released a detailed table showing the Post-UTME cut-off marks for all departments across its faculties. These marks are divided into two main categories:
- Merit Cut-Off: The general benchmark for all applicants.
- Catchment Area Cut-Off: Lower thresholds reserved for specific states — Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo — under UNILAG’s admission policy.
If your total score meets or surpasses the merit mark, you’re safely within the admission range. However, if your score falls slightly below, your catchment area score might just save the day.
For some courses, you’ll notice “NIL” — this simply means there’s no available record or catchment data for that programme.

UNILAG JAMB Cut-Off Policy
Before even thinking of Post-UTME, candidates must pass through the first gate — JAMB.
UNILAG is firm about this:
- The minimum JAMB score for eligibility is 200.
- Only candidates who selected UNILAG as their first choice will be considered.
- Applicants must also have five credits in one sitting, including English and Mathematics.
Anything below these standards means you’ll have to wait for another admission cycle.
What to Do Next
If you’ve made it past the JAMB stage and hit the Post-UTME cut-off, congratulations! You’re one step closer to becoming a proud UNILAG student. Here’s what you should do next:
- Get the UNILAG Post-UTME Form – Ensure your application is completed correctly and on time.
- Prepare Your Documents – Organize your credentials neatly. Original copies of O’level, JAMB result, and birth certificate are vital.
- Study Past Questions – They may not reveal everything, but they give a strong sense of UNILAG’s exam style and expectations.
- Stay Updated – Keep checking official UNILAG channels for screening schedules and admission updates.
Final Thoughts
UNILAG’s cut-off marks aren’t just numbers — they’re milestones. For some, they bring joy; for others, a reason to try again.
If your score meets the mark, celebrate modestly — you’ve earned it. But if you missed it, don’t lose heart. Admission is a journey, not a sprint. As many Nigerians would say, “e go be.”
One way or another, your academic story is still being written. Keep pushing — your time will come.
