University of Ibadan, UI Cut-Off Marks for Admission Exercise

It’s out. And yes, people are already panicking — comparing scores, refreshing pages, asking cousins who “know someone inside.” The University of Ibadan, calmly as always, has dropped the list. No fanfare. No second chances. Just numbers. Cold, calculated, final.

If your eyes are on UI this year, you’re either already in celebration mode or frantically checking every decimal. Because here, a 0.125 can mean everything.

JAMB Cut-Off Mark for 2024/2025
Warning to All Applicants

What’s the Cut-Off Situation?

The university didn’t just post “cut-off marks.” It published layers. Merit. Catchment. ELDS (Educationally Less Developed States). Three zones. One target: admission.

If your score fits into the right box, great. If not, there’s no loophole. The line has already been drawn — and it’s sharp.

Before Anything Else: JAMB Score Threshold

Let’s not pretend. No matter how well you did in WAEC, or how passionate you are about your dream course, UI won’t even look your way unless you scored at least 200 in JAMB.

200. Full stop.

Fall below? Post-UTME isn’t happening for you. Move on. Look elsewhere. It sounds harsh, but that’s exactly how it works.

Complete List of UI Departmental Cut-Off Marks (2024/2025)

The list is long, and yes, it matters. Every course. Every category. Every decimal. From Medicine’s sky-high wall at 78.125 to Archaeology chilling at 50, this isn’t a one-size-fits-all system.

Admission Categories Explained

Merit: You scored high. You compete with everyone.
Catchment: You’re from a state UI has tagged for extra consideration.
ELDS: You’re from one of the underserved states. This gives you a slight edge.

Still, don’t get comfortable. The edge is small — and everyone else wants it too.

JAMB Cut-Off Mark for 2024/2025

The University of Ibadan has set the JAMB cut-off mark at 200 for all degree programmes.

Only candidates who achieve 200 or above in the JAMB examinations will qualify to participate in the UI Post UTME screening.

Met the mark? Good. Don’t just sit there celebrating. You still have to:

Fill out the UI Post UTME screening form
Prepare your O’Level documents
Track the Post UTME date like your admission depends on it (because it does)

And while you’re at it, download past questions. It won’t guarantee success, but walking in unprepared will guarantee failure.

Download UI Post UTME past questions

To fully understand the steps for the Post UTME screening at UI, you can check the UI Post UTME Screening Guidelines.

Warning to All Applicants

Someone texts you, claims to “work in UI” and offers admission help? Run. UI doesn’t work like that. The admission office doesn’t DM people. Anyone asking you to “call this number for help” is probably setting you up to lose money and hope.

Stick with the official UI website. That’s where the truth lives.
