Understanding the UI Departmental Cut Off Marks

The UI departmental cut off is calculated based on:

JAMB score (50%)
Post UTME score (50%)

Your UI aggregate score must meet or exceed the departmental requirement for your chosen course. For example, to study Civil Engineering, you might need at least a JAMB score of 280 and a strong post UTME score to reach the 70% aggregate.

Admission Process for UI

To gain admission into UI, candidates must follow this admission process:

Step 1: Register for JAMB and choose UI as your first choice.
Step 2: Score at least the general JAMB cut off mark (200).
Step 3: Apply for UI’s post UTME form once released.
Step 4: Prepare for the exam by practicing past questions and revising your JAMB subject combination.
Step 5: Achieve a competitive UI aggregate score that meets your course’s departmental cut off mark.
Step 6: Check your UI admission status via JAMB CAPS.

JAMB Cut Off vs Departmental Cut Off

It is important to note that meeting the JAMB cut off mark alone does not guarantee admission. The departmental cut off marks are higher for competitive courses. For instance:

Medicine and Surgery has one of the highest departmental cut off marks in UI.
Courses like Fisheries Management or Forest Resources Management may have lower departmental marks, giving candidates with average JAMB scores a higher chance.

Tips to Score Above the UI JAMB Cut Off Mark

Aim for a JAMB score above 250 to stand a better chance.
Study the official JAMB syllabus and focus on your strengths.
Master time management during the exam.
Research the UI departmental cut off trends from previous years.
Do well in your post UTME to boost your aggregate.
