💡 Important: JAMB Score Is Only Half the Picture

UNILAG uses an aggregate scoring system that combines your JAMB score, Post-UTME score, and O'Level grades. A student with 260 and excellent O'Level results can beat a student with 280 and average grades. This means you must also excel in the Post-UTME and have strong WAEC/NECO credits in your relevant subjects.

UNILAG Post-UTME: What You Need to Know

After meeting UNILAG's JAMB cut-off, you must sit for the Post-UTME screening. UNILAG's Post-UTME is online and typically tests the same subjects as your JAMB exam. The aggregate formula used by UNILAG weights JAMB and Post-UTME scores together with O'Level results to produce a final admission score. Candidates are ranked by this aggregate — not JAMB alone.

Check UNILAG's official admissions portal at unilag.edu.ng and the JAMB CAPS portal once admissions open. Post-UTME forms are usually released 2–4 weeks after JAMB results.

Frequently Asked Questions

UNILAG's general institutional cut-off is 200. This means you must score at least 200 in JAMB to be eligible to apply for Post-UTME at UNILAG. However, most competitive departments require significantly higher scores — the general cut-off just gets you through the door.
200 qualifies you to sit for Post-UTME, but it is a very competitive score at UNILAG. Most departments at UNILAG fill up with students who scored 220–280+. With a score of 200, you would need exceptional Post-UTME performance and very strong O'Level results to stand a chance — and only for less competitive courses like Education or Library Science.
Medicine & Surgery at UNILAG is the most competitive programme in Nigeria. The practical cut-off is 280+ in JAMB. Even with 280, admission is not guaranteed — your Post-UTME score must also be very high and you need A grades in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics in WAEC/NECO. UNILAG admits a very small number of medical students each year.
Yes. UNILAG accepts both first and second choice candidates through JAMB CAPS. However, first-choice candidates are prioritised. If UNILAG is your second choice, you should still sit for Post-UTME and ensure your aggregate score is competitive enough. Some second-choice candidates have gained admission, but the odds are lower.
UNILAG typically releases Post-UTME forms 2–6 weeks after JAMB announces results. Watch UNILAG's official website (unilag.edu.ng) and their social media channels. ExamBuddy will also announce it — subscribe to our newsletter to be notified immediately.
