How merit cut-offs work at UNILAG (brief)
UNILAG computes departmental merit scores using a combination of JAMB score, O'Level performance and Post-UTME screening where applicable. For the 2025/2026 assessment modalities, UNILAG has published that the weightings include:
- JAMB score: 50%
- O'Level (SSCE): 20%
- PUTME / Screening: 30%
Important notes for applicants
- Visit the official UNILAG website or admissions portal to view the complete departmental merit cut-off table and contact the admission office for clarification.
- Cut-offs differ by catchment — applicants from Lagos or neighbouring states may see different (often higher) merit thresholds for some programmes.
- Meeting a departmental merit cut-off does not guarantee admission — successful candidates must follow up with required document verification, acceptance steps, and registration as advised by UNILAG.
