Latest: UI Admission Cut off Mark Remains 200 – Management
University of Ibadan, UI admission cut off mark remains 200. See details below.
The management of the University of Ibadan (UI) has stated that the university’s cut-off mark for 2019/2020 academic session remains 200 as against 160 agreed on by the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) and stakeholders of higher institutions as the minimum cut-off mark for the 2019/2020 Academic Session.
In a statement by the office of its Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Idowu Olayinka, the institution said: “For the avoidance of doubts in the minds of our prospective admission seekers, their parents and guardians, our alumni and alumnae and the general public, the minimum mark for any course at the University of Ibadan, and all its Affiliated Institutions, remains 200 out of the maximum of 400.
This has been the position of the Senate of the University since the matriculation examinations into Nigerian Universities commenced in 1978.”
JAMB announced on Tuesday that the minimum cut-off mark for admission into federal universities will be 160 for 2019.
However, many educationists criticized the cut-off mark, describing it as ridiculously low and a further indication of the falling standard of education.

One of such criteria involves meeting the required cut off mark for the school as well as the course or department itself. Obtaining admission based on merit becomes easy and straightforward when one has met the required cut off mark for the admission into the desired course.

Sir I just changed my course but its not reflecting on d jamb caps or anywhere else do I need to go to a cyber cafe or something... How do i go about it?
As long as you did the change of course on www.admissions.ui.edu.ng, it is supposed to reflect.
Sir, I'll just changed my course on d sch website but its not reflecting on d JAMB caps or anywhere else. Is there a particular way of doing it(maybe in a cyber cafe or pay a certain amount,) or that's how its done?.
My aggregate score was 61.375 and I applied for civil engineering which is 64.75(the cut off).would you advise me to change my course?
The first batch of the list is out on the jamb website (not on the sch website yet) and I wasn't admitted
It depends on how much you really want to get admission this year (maybe, it's not your first time). In that case, you may want to change the course to increase your chances. However, it's not a bad idea to wait for the list to be available on UI website. At the end of the day, the decision is yours. All the best!
I scored 218 in jamb nd I picked ui..i did d post utme nd I scored 52.75 as aggregate score.. The cut off for d course chosen is 51.62..nd I have not been offered admission.. Plz Wat can I do
Olayemi, for now the best thing is to keep checking as well as to wait for UI to officially release the list, perhaps on their website.
Try to check it very well.
What is it writing when you checked it?
i had 267 in my jamb,andd i picked ui for medicine and sugery,i scored 56 in post utme and so my aggregrate was 61.375,i heard i cnt be admitted for medicine and that i can change to biochemistty which is 62.375,is it advisable and does the change of course actually work out,what are my chances of being admitted for biochemistry.Thank You
Your chances will be higher if you change to Biochemistry, no doubt. However, there's still no guarantee considering your aggregate is not up to the cut off mark. In fact, sometimes, even scoring up to or more than the cut off mark still doesn't guarantee that you'll be admitted. It depends on many factors and in this case, the major deciding factor will be the quota or available spaces vs the number of qualified candidates. In other words, you should get the admission if UI admits those that reached the cut-off (on merit), and the available slots have not been exhausted. All the best!
Sir, what are the factors that made you said "even scoring above the cut off mark does not guarantee someone's admission"?
Komolafe, the number of people that the department can take is the major factor. If in a rare situation, a department can only take 300 new students and 500 students score more than the cut-off mark, some candidates will have to be denied the admission or they may be given another course.
