What the UNILAG Cut-Off Marks Mean
The figures in the table should not be confused with a single university-wide minimum score.
The merit figure is the published cut-off associated with admission on the merit category for a particular programme. The catchment figures are separately listed for candidates from Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo.
This means that two candidates applying for the same programme may see different figures depending on the admission category applicable to them.
For example, the published figures for Medicine and Surgery are:
- Merit: 83.425
- Ekiti: 79.425
- Lagos: 79.1
- Ogun: 81.75
- Ondo: 81.35
- Osun: 79.825
- Oyo: 80.05
Similarly, Computer Science has a merit figure of 82.05, while the listed catchment figures range from 73.225 to 79.875.
How to Use the UNILAG Departmental Cut-Off List
If you applied or intend to apply for admission to UNILAG, locate your programme in the relevant faculty above and check the following:
- Find your programme. Some programmes have similar names, so make sure you are checking the exact programme.
- Check the merit figure. This is the first score listed after the programme name.
- Check your catchment state. If you fall under one of the listed catchment states, check the corresponding column.
- Pay attention to NIL. NIL means the published list does not provide a figure for that particular programme/state combination.
- Do not treat the figure as an admission guarantee. Meeting or exceeding a published departmental figure does not, by itself, mean that admission has been offered.
- Continue monitoring your admission status. Candidates should still follow UNILAG’s admission and JAMB processes and check for their individual admission status.
Important Points for UNILAG Applicants
The departmental cut-off marks are useful when assessing the published admission figures for a particular course, but applicants should look beyond the number alone.
A candidate should check the exact programme, the applicable admission category and the relevant catchment state before interpreting a score.
Candidates should also ensure that their JAMB and O’Level information is correctly reflected in the required admission systems and continue checking official admission updates.
Where a programme has a NIL entry for a particular state, applicants should not create or assume a figure that is not present in the published list.

Bottom Line
UNILAG’s 2026/2027 departmental cut-off list provides separate merit and catchment figures across its undergraduate programmes. The published catchment states are Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo, while several programmes have NIL entries for some or all catchment categories.
If your preferred course appears on the list, check both the merit figure and the catchment figure applicable to your situation. Also remember that a departmental cut-off figure is not the same thing as an individual admission offer.
Candidates should continue to monitor the university’s official admission updates and their JAMB admission status for the final outcome of their application.
