TABLE OF CONTENTS

UNILORIN has become one of the most prestigious universities in Nigeria. The university offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Here is all you need to know about the UNILORIN cut-off mark and school fees.

UNILORIN cut-off mark

The University of Ilorin has approved 180 and above as the JAMB cut-off mark for the 2024/2025 admission. Applicants are required to score at least 180 in the UTME to qualify for the post-UTME screening exercise.

However, achieving the minimum cut-off mark does not guarantee admission, as the university also takes into account your O-level achievements. Those with more A's than B's or C's have higher chances to become eligible.

UNILORIN departmental cut-off marks

The UNILORIN cut-off mark for all courses vary depending on the course you are applying for. Below is a general guide to the cut-off marks for some departments:

What is the UNILORIN cut-off mark for nursing?

The UNILORIN cut-off mark for Nursing for the 2024/2025 academic session is 230. This is the minimum UTME score required to qualify for consideration in the post-UTME screening process.

What is the UNILORIN cut-off mark for law?

The UNILORIN cut-off mark for common law is 260, while the cut-off for common and Islamic law is 230. Law is a highly competitive course with a limited number of available slots.

What is the cut-off mark for philosophy at UNILORIN?

The UNILORIN cut-off mark for Philosophy is 180 for the 2024/2025 academic session. This score qualifies candidates to participate in the post-UTME screening exercise, but final admission depends on overall performance in post-UTME and O'Level results.

How to calculate UNILORIN cut-off mark?

To calculate UNILORIN's cut-off mark, the university combines your UTME score, post-UTME performance, and O'Level grades. The calculation generally follows this method:

• UTME score: 50% of your total score.
• Post-UTME score: 30%.
• O'Level grades: 20%, based on the relevant five subjects.

For example, if you score 240 in UTME and 70 in post-UTME, your aggregate score would be:

UTME: (240/400) * 50 = 30

Post-UTME: (70/100) * 30 = 21

O'Level: varies based on grades

Total = 51 + O'Level percentage.
