Students must meet specific requirements before being admitted to any course offered by an academic institution.

What is the UI cut-off Mark?
Meaning of Cut-off Mark
A cut-off mark is the minimum score a candidate must obtain in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to qualify for admission consideration into a particular institution or course.
UI uses two types of cut-off marks:
- General JAMB Cut-Off Mark
- Departmental Cut-Off Mark
The general cut-off mark qualifies candidates to participate in the Post-UTME screening, while departmental cut-off marks determine admission into specific courses.
Ok, let me quickly explain the difference between the general cut-off mark and the departmental cut-off mark.
UI General Cut-Off Mark 2026/2027
This is the mark a student must achieve to be admitted to a school. If your score falls below a school’s cut-off mark, you won’t be able to take their Post-UTME, which means you won’t be admitted to that school.
You will not be eligible to register for UI’s screening exercise/post utme if your score is 199 and the general cut-off mark is 200.
Each school can choose its own cut-off mark. They cannot, however, set a lower cut-off mark than the JAMB minimum.
UI Departmental Cut-off Mark 2026/2027
The UI departmental cut-off mark is the minimum aggregate score a candidate must attain to be considered for admission into their chosen department at the University of Ibadan for the 2026/2027 academic session.
The higher the cut-off mark, the more competitive the course. Every year, each university sets a cut-off mark for all courses. Some institutions publish their departmental cut-off marks, whereas others do not.
UI JAMB AND Departmental Cut-off Mark 2026/2027
For the 2026/2027 admission exercise, candidates are advised to meet both the general UI JAMB cut-off mark and the departmental cut-off mark for their chosen course to improve their chances of gaining admission.
UI General JAMB Cut-Off Mark 2026/2027
The University of Ibadan (UI) has approved a general JAMB cut-off mark of 200 for the 2026/2027 academic session.
This means that candidates who scored 200 and above in the 2026 UTME are eligible to apply for the University’s Post-UTME screening exercise. However, a score of 200 only qualifies you for screening and does not guarantee admission.
UI Departmental Cut-off Mark 2026/2027
The University of Ibadan (UI) has released the departmental cut-off marks for admission into its undergraduate programmes for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Unlike the general JAMB cut-off mark of 200, departmental cut-off marks are based on candidates’ aggregate scores (UTME and Post-UTME) and vary depending on the competitiveness of each course.
Below are some of the Merit departmental cut-off marks for popular courses:
| Course | Merit Cut-Off Mark |
|---|---|
| Medicine and Surgery | 78.875 |
