How UNIZIK Calculates Cut Off Marks

UNIZIK calculates the cut off marks for each course based on some factors like:

  • Number of available slots for the course
  • Number of applicants for the course
  • Quality of applicants including their UTME/Direct Entry scores

  • Intake quota for the academic session

After considering these factors, UNIZIK sets the minimum cut off mark that prospective students must meet to gain admission into each course. Also Check out UNIZIK School Fees Schedule

The stated cut off marks apply only to candidates who scored up to the UNIZIK post UTME cut off mark and took the post screening exam.

Impact of Aggregate Cut Off Marks

The departmental cut off marks are based on aggregated UTME and post UTME scores. For example:

  • Chidi scores 280 in UTME
  • In UNIZIK post UTME, he scores 82 marks
  • He applies for Electrical Engineering needing UTME 220 + Post UTME 75 marks
  • Chidi’s aggregate scores are:
    • UTME: 280 marks
    • Post UTME: 82 marks
    • Total = 362 marks
  • Since he exceeds the departmental requirement of 295 marks, he is eligible for admission to study Electrical Engineering.

Meeting just the UTME cut off mark without the post UTME requirement will not suffice. Candidates need to score the stipulated aggregate cut off marks.

Applying to UNIZIK with Low Post UTME Score

If a candidate scores below the post UTME departmental cut off mark, there are limited options:

  • May consider change of course if cut off mark for another program is met
  • Can also opt for part-time or remedial admission
  • May need to re-take post UTME next year

Scoring the post UTME cut off mark for one’s desired course is compulsory. Just having the UTME requirement alone will not secure admission. See full UNIZIK Admission Requirements.

Tips to Improve Your Chances of Gaining Admission

To have a higher chance of securing admission into your desired course at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, here are some tips:

  • Score above the cut off mark set for the course in JAMB/UTME and Post-UTME. The higher you score above the cut off mark, the better your chances.
  • Choose UNIZIK as your first choice institution when applying for admission. First choice candidates are often prioritized.
  • Apply early before the admission deadline. This increases your chances.
  • Participate in the post UTME screening exercise if required for your course.
  • Ensure you meet all other admission requirements like O’Level grades, prerequisite subjects etc.

Meeting the UNIZIK cut off mark is the first crucial step to gaining admission. Therefore, you must target a score slightly above the cut off mark for your course when sitting for UTME.

Wrapping Up

Gaining admission into UNIZIK is highly competitive and requires thorough preparation. Candidates should target well above the minimum cut off marks to maximize chances of admission.

Meeting the post UTME cut off marks for specific departments is mandatory, in addition to having the 180 UTME score. Therefore, extensive revision and practice is crucial before the post UTME.

With its excellent programs and facilities, UNIZIK is an ideal public university choice. We wish all candidates the very best as they aspire to secure admission for the 2025/2026 academic session!

      Reply
      • PrepsNG says:

        With a JAMB score of 172, your chances of admission depend on:

        1. School Cut-off Marks:

        Federal Universities: Usually require 180+ (some may accept 170-179 for less competitive courses).

        State/Private Universities: Some accept 160+ (check specific schools).

        Polytechnics/Colleges of Education: Often accept 150+

        2. Good Courses You Can Study (Less Competitive):
        Education (e.g., Education & English, Education & Biology)

        Agriculture

        Public Administration

        Marketing

        Tourism & Hospitality

        Environmental Science

    I scored 213 in JAMB, can I study law in unizik with it

    Reply
    • PrepsNG says:

      Good day! UNIZIK’s Law program typically requires 240+, making your 213 score challenging. However, consider these alternatives:

      Nearby universities with lower cut-offs:

      ANSU (Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University): 200+
      ESUT: 200-210
      Madonna University (private): 180+

      Related courses in UNIZIK:
      1. Political Science (200+)
      2. Public Administration (190+)

  • Ndumuanya chimuanya says:

    I got 191 do I have any hope to study med lab in unizik

    Reply
    • PrepsNG says:

      Good day! While UNIZIK’s Med Lab Science cut-off is usually around 200+, your 191 still has potential if you perform exceptionally well in the post-UTME. Some departments may accept slightly lower scores if the competition is less intense. Prepare thoroughly for the post-UTME to maximize your chances. You could also consider related courses like Microbiology or Biochemistry if needed. Stay hopeful and give it your best!
