This detailed guide provides clarity on the required cut-off marks for each department, allowing prospective candidates to plan effectively.

It is essential to note that these figures are subject to change and should be used as a guideline. Official departmental cut-off marks will be released after the post-UTME screening.

How UNIZIK Determines Cut-Off Marks

UNIZIK employs a holistic approach to determine its cut-off marks. Several factors come into play, including:

The overall performance of candidates in the UTME influences the cut-off marks. High general performance often leads to higher cut-off marks.
Programs with a high number of applicants usually have higher cut-off marks.
Each department has a limited number of slots, which affects the competitiveness of the course.
UNIZIK considers state indigenes within its catchment area for certain courses, which may slightly lower the cut-off mark for those candidates.

Post-UTME Screening

After meeting the general or departmental cut-off mark, candidates must participate in the UNIZIK Post-UTME screening. This process evaluates candidates’ aptitude and readiness for university education. The post-UTME score, combined with the UTME score, determines a candidate’s aggregate score, which is used for final admission decisions.

How to Calculate Aggregate Score

UNIZIK uses a weighted scoring system to calculate the aggregate score:

UTME Score: 50%
Post-UTME Score: 50%

For example, if a candidate scores 260 in UTME and 70 in Post-UTME, the aggregate score is calculated as follows:

UTME Contribution: (260/400) x 50 = 32.5
Post-UTME Contribution: (70/100) x 50 = 35
Total Aggregate Score: 32.5 + 35 = 67.5

Candidates are then ranked based on their aggregate scores, with admission offered to those who meet or exceed the departmental cut-off.

Tips for Aspiring Candidates

Strive to score well above the general cut-off mark to increase your chances of gaining admission, especially for competitive courses.
Dedicate time to study and practice for the post-UTME screening. Focus on subjects related to your chosen course.
Understand the specific requirements and cut-off marks for your desired course and work towards meeting them.
Regularly check the UNIZIK official website and JAMB portal for updates on admission processes and cut-off marks.
Consider applying for less competitive courses or institutions as a safety net.

Knowing the UNIZIK cut-off mark is essential for any student hoping to study there. This score is the minimum you need to be considered for admission. Use this information to plan your studies effectively and submit a strong application. Aim to surpass the minimum requirements, stay updated on the latest information, and approach the admission process with confidence and dedication. We wish all future UNIZIK students success in their academic pursuits!
