Understanding Cut-Off Marks

General Cut-off: Usually 140 for Universities, 100 for Polys/COE. Scoring this qualifies you to buy the form, but NOT for admission.

Departmental Cut-off: The real deal. Determined by the school. E.g., UNILAG Medicine might be 320+, while History is 200.

2026 Cut-Off Estimates

OAU: 200+ UNILAG: 200+ UI: 200+ UNILORIN: 180+ LASU: 190+

Wrong Subjects = No Admission

Even if you score 350, using the wrong subject combination disqualifies you. Check the IBASS Brochure before registering.
