Check UNILORIN cut-off mark 2025 for all courses. Know the required JAMB score and admission conditions. Stay updated and apply early.
Introduction
The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has released the cut-off marks for the 2025/2026 academic session. If you wrote JAMB and selected UNILORIN as your first choice, this information is very important. The cut-off mark tells you the minimum JAMB score you need to apply for any course in the university.
If you score equal to or higher than the required mark, you will be allowed to buy the UNILORIN Post-UTME form. But if your score is below the cut-off mark for your course, you may need to change to another course or university.
Let’s explain everything you need to know in simple words.
What is a Cut-Off Mark?
A cut-off mark is the lowest score a university accepts in JAMB before you can apply to that school. Every year, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) sets a general cut-off score for all schools in Nigeria. But universities are allowed to set their own cut-off marks, especially for competitive courses.
Some courses, like Medicine or Law, need higher marks because many students apply for them. That is why every course has its own cut-off mark.
UNILORIN General Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026
For the 2025/2026 session, UNILORIN has fixed 180 as the general cut-off mark. This means that you must score at least 180 in JAMB to apply for most courses in the university.
However, some courses need higher scores. So, even if you scored 180, you cannot apply for courses like Law, Nursing, Pharmacy, or Medicine. Those courses require higher JAMB scores because they are very competitive.
