UNN Departmental Cut Off Mark for All Courses 2025

UNN departmental cut off mark is a combination of your JAMB and Post UTME score.

Your name will appear on the merit list if your aggregate score exceeds your departmental cut off mark.

UNN merit list is hundred per cent transparent for all courses. You must see your name on the admission list if you beat the cut off mark.

I recommend you read How to Get Admission to UNN to learn about the UNN admission process.

The UNN general cut off mark for the 2023/2024 academic admission session is 160.

Applicants who scored 160 and above can write the UNN Post UTME exams.

This article contains the list of UNN departmental cut off marks for all courses.

You can share your UNN Post UTME experience here.

I would love to hear from you in the comment box.

Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Calculation for UNN Aggregate Score

UNN uses the 60:40 ratio for the calculation of her cut off mark;

  • JAMB Score = 60%
  • UNN Post UTME Score = 40%
  • Multiply your JAMB score by 0.6
  • Multiply your Post UTME score by 0.4

For example, if your JAMB score is 280 and your Post UTME score is 310. Here is how to calculate your aggregate score;

  • JAMB = 280 x 0.6 = 168
  • Post UTME = 310 x 0.4 = 124
  • Aggregate Score = 292

UNN may decide to use the 50:50 ratio.

It means that your JAMB and Post UTME scores will carry the same mark.

Add your JAMB and Post UTME score divided by 2.

You will see your aggregate score when you check your screening result online.

Note

Kindly note that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) used the 80:20 ratio to calculate the admission aggregate score.

UNN Departmental Cut Off Mark

A statue in UNEC

The UNN departmental cut off mark for all courses is determined by the student’s performance in each year’s JAMB and Post UTME.

It means that there is no fixed cut off mark. For example, the merit cut off mark for Nursing Science could have been 287. But this year, the cutoff mark may increase or decrease.

Each department in UNN determines the merit cut off mark at the end of the Post UTME screening exam.

For example, the Department of Medical Laboratory Science will compile students’ total scores. They will look at the admission quota’s highest and lowest aggregate scores.

You can check my write-up on how to get admission to UNN to know more about this process.

Kindly note that the admission list for the current admission year is not yet out.

  1. Good morning sir
    Sir I scored 237 in jamb and I found out that my post utme score is 250. 3 and it’s different from the first time I calculated using the 60:40 ratio, I scored 303 when I used that but I guess the calculating method was changed this year.
    My screening score is 370
    My post utme score is 250. 3
    Is there a chance for me to study law in UNN sir and I am an indigene of Ebonyi state and this state is part of The Elds and also the Catchment area.
    What are my chances sir?

    ? It makes use of : JAMB + O level

    ▫️ JAMB : 80 %

    ✓ The UTME score × 0.8

    ▫️ O level : 20 %

    ✓ The O level aggregate multiplied by 0.2

    • The O level Aggregate is derived using the method below ?

    ✍️ 4 UTME Subjects are considered.

    ° A1 72
    ° B2 64
    ° B3 56
    ° C4 48
    ° C5 40
    ° C6 32

    ✓ Single sitting => *40 points* additional mark
    ✓ Double sitting => 0 additional mark.

    Sir according to the way they calculated jamb and waec last year.

    Jamb score=179
    179×0.8 = 143.2
    Waec result
    B3 = 56
    B3 = 56
    C4 = 48
    C4 = 48
    Total = 208.
    208×0.2= 41.6

    Single sitting 40 point
    => 143.2 + 41.6 + 40
    = 224.8
    Sir can I get human anatomy with the score 224.8??

    Reply
    • Hello Emmanuel,

      1. There is a chance of getting Med Lab if you get a high aggregate score from the Post UTME. Usually, you need an aggregate score over 270 to make the first list for Med Lab Sci.

      2. For Computer Science, you need an aggregate score above 260.

      3. Yes, as long as the subject is not among the compulsory five (5) subjects required for admission.

      Let me know if you have further questions.

    • Hello Daniel,

      Combine Physical Science is different from Computer with Statistics.

      In Combine Physical Science, you will be taking all the courses in the Faculty of Physical Science.

      It is like offering all the courses in the Faculty.

      The course is not specialized like Computer Science.

      Let me know if you need further clarification.

      You stand a good chance.

      It depends if UNN will adopt the use of O’leve results or screening test for her Post UTME.

      But in general, you would want to target an aggregate score of about 250 or more.

    Thank you for this informative article!

    My JAMB score is 255
    My aggregate score is 235.5
    I’m from Enugu State
    I applied for medical laboratory science before I saw my aggregate score
    Now, I plan to change to medical rehabilitation

    My questions are….
    1) Can I change to medical rehabilitation now (by 10th January 2023) before the admission list for medical rehabilitation comes out?

    2) If I change to medical rehabilitation now (by 10th January 2023), will the change of course be effective so that my name will be on the merit list for medical rehabilitation?

    3) If you say that it’s too late to do the change, can I shop for medical rehabilitation with my aggregate score?

    4) Will there be a shopping form this year 2023?

    5) When will the shopping form be out?

    6) If the shopping form is not out yet, will this website send out the information when the form is out?

    • Hello Ayomide,

      It is nice to hear from you.

      Changing institutions does not depreciate your chances for admission. It is untrue what you have heard.

      Every student sitting for the Post UTME exams has equal chances.

      Here are the answers to your questions.

      2. UNN is not merging.

      3. What’s your State of Origin? That could give you an edge in getting Pharmacy.

      But you would need to get a high Post UTME score (300+).

      4. Read how UNN Post UTME exam is structured here.

      5. Your chances with BDS are as equal as Pharmacy.

      6. The UNN cut-0ff mark on this page is authentic.

      7. That would likely be next year. Your focus should be on getting admission.

      Let me know if you have any further questions.

      I wish you success with your application.
