What Is A Cut-Off Mark?

A cut-off mark is the minimum score a candidate must attain in an entrance examination to be considered for admission into a university or other higher institution. In Nigeria, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) sets a general cut-off mark for all tertiary institutions each academic year. This serves as the benchmark, but individual universities have the discretion to set their specific cut-off marks based on factors such as the competitiveness of courses, the number of available slots, and institutional policies.

For the 2025/2026 academic session, the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has released its official cut-off marks for admission. This means that all prospective students must meet or exceed the specified score for their chosen course to be eligible to proceed with the admission process.
