University Of Uyo (UNIUYO) Departmental Cut-Off Marks 2025
Thinking of applying to the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) for the 2024/2025 academic year? One of the key things you’ll need to pay close attention to is the cut-off mark—both the general JAMB requirement and the individual departmental benchmarks. These scores play a major role in determining whether you’ll be offered admission or not.
Below is a complete, easy-to-understand guide covering everything you need—from general and departmental cut-offs, how to calculate your aggregate score, to practical tips that’ll give you an edge in the admission process.
What’s UNIUYO’s General Cut-Off for 2024/2025?
UNIUYO has pegged 140 as the minimum score required in your JAMB UTME to be eligible for Post-UTME.
But here’s the truth:
140 might get you through the door, but it won’t get you into the popular or competitive departments. If you’re aiming for courses like Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, or Engineering, you’ll need to set your sights much higher—think 180 and above, or better still, 250+ to be in a safer zone.
UNIUYO Departmental Cut-Off Marks for 2024/2025
Here’s a detailed look at the departmental benchmarks. These are the minimum scores expected based on previous admission trends:
| Course | Cut-Off |
|---|---|
| Medicine and Surgery | 280 |
| Pharmacy | 250 |
| Law | 220 |
| Nursing Science | 200 |
| Dentistry & Dental Surgery | 200 |
| Doctor of Pharmacy | 200 |
| Medical Laboratory Science | 180 |
| Mechanical, Civil, Chemical Engineering | 220 |
| Computer/Electrical Engineering | 220 |
| Architecture | 220 |
| Accounting, Banking & Finance | 220 |
| Computer Science / Economics | 180 |
| English, History, Mass Communication | 180 |
| Biochemistry, Microbiology | 180 |
| All Education-related Courses | 180 |
| Agriculture / Environmental Sciences | 180 |
| All Other Courses | 180 |
Quick Reminder:
Meeting the cut-off doesn’t guarantee admission—your competition is scoring higher. Always aim to exceed, not just meet the mark.
Admission Requirements at UNIUYO
For UTME Applicants:
- UNIUYO must be your First Choice in JAMB.
- Minimum JAMB score: 140 (higher depending on the course).
- At least five credits in your O’Level results, including English and Maths (max of two sittings).
- You must register for and write the Post-UTME Screening.
For Direct Entry (DE) Candidates:
- You’ll need one of the following: A-Level, NCE, OND, HND, or a Bachelor’s degree.
- Still required to meet the O’Level subject combinations for your intended course.
- Application is through the JAMB DE portal.
How to Calculate UNIUYO’s Aggregate Score
UNIUYO uses a simple formula that combines your JAMB and Post-UTME scores:
Aggregate Score = (JAMB Score ÷ 8) + (Post-UTME Score ÷ 2)
Example:
Let’s say a candidate scored 260 in JAMB and 72 in Post-UTME:
- 260 ÷ 8 = 32.5
- 72 ÷ 2 = 36
- Total Aggregate = 32.5 + 36 = 68.5
This final figure is what’s compared against your department’s cut-off. The higher your aggregate, the better your shot at gaining admission.
What To Do After Meeting the Cut-Off
If your aggregate meets or exceeds the departmental score, here’s what’s next:
- Apply for the UNIUYO Post-UTME via the university’s portal.
- Prepare all necessary documents:
- JAMB result
- O’Level result(s)
- Passport photo
- Birth certificate
- Show up for the Post-UTME screening (if physical screening is required).
- Keep checking the UNIUYO admission portal for updates and admission lists.
Smart Tips to Boost Your Admission Chances
- Target high scores in JAMB and Post-UTME—don’t aim for the bare minimum.
- Make sure your O’Level subjects match your course—wrong combinations could disqualify you.
- Always choose UNIUYO as your First Choice—second choice candidates are rarely considered.
- Submit your Post-UTME application early—don’t wait until the deadline.
