Admission 2024: University of Ibadan releases cut-off marks

1 month ago 32

The University of Ibadan, Oyo State, has released cut-off marks for the 2024/2025 admission exercise.

All Nigerian universities had unanimously agreed that no university would admit candidates with less than 140 points in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) administered by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

The decision was taken at the policy meeting, an annual gathering chaired by the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, organised by JAMB with tertiary institutions as participants, to decide on procedures for admission.

Each university, however, has the liberty to raise the minimum tolerable UTME score (cut-off) for admission.

JAMB has also explained that candidates’ UTME scores alone are not enough to guarantee them admission.

The admission cut-off point is determined by calculating the candidates’ UTME score, post-UTME score, and their senior secondary school examination results.

UI cut-off

For the 2024/2025 admissions, the University of Ibadan, candidates seeking admission into the College of Medicine need at least 60 points to be considered for admission on merit. The university, however, has slightly lower cut-off points for candidates from catchment areas and those from Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS).
