Catchment Area Cut-Off Marks
In addition to the merit cut-off marks, UNILAG also released catchment-area cut-off marks for eligible candidates.
The catchment states listed by the university include Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo States.
The applicable catchment cut-off varies according to the programme and state. Candidates are therefore advised to check the official UNILAG publication carefully to determine the cut-off mark applicable to their chosen programme and state of origin.
Important Information for Candidates
Prospective students should understand that the programme-specific cut-off marks are different from the minimum UTME score required to participate in the university's admission screening exercise.
Meeting the minimum UTME requirement does not automatically guarantee admission into a particular programme. Candidates must also satisfy the relevant admission requirements and meet the applicable programme cut-off mark.
Candidates who participated in the 2026/2027 UNILAG admission exercise are advised to carefully check the cut-off mark for their chosen programme and continue to monitor their admission status through the appropriate official channels.
Candidates should also be cautious of unofficial cut-off marks circulating on social media and other platforms. The figures released by the University of Lagos should be treated as the official reference for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.
