This guide is your ultimate roadmap to understanding UNILAG JAMB cut off marks for all courses in 2025. Whether you’re aiming for Medicine or Mass Communication, we’ve got the numbers and the real talk you need.

What Is a JAMB Cut Off Mark and Why Does It Matter?

Think of the cut-off mark as the admission gatekeeper. It’s the minimum JAMB score you need to even be considered for admission into a university. UNILAG, like most federal universities, has both:

• A general cut off mark (the bare minimum)
• Departmental cut off marks (specific to each course)

And yes, they matter. Because scoring below it is like showing up to a party without an invite — no entry.

What Is UNILAG’s General JAMB Cut Off Mark for 2025?

For 2025, the general cut-off mark for UNILAG is 200. This means:

• If you scored below 200, you won’t be eligible to sit for UNILAG’s Post-UTME.
• If you scored 200 and above, congrats! You’re in the race.

But hold your excitement — different courses have different expectations. Let’s break it down.
