UNILAG 2026/2027 UTME Merit Cut-Off Marks: Full List by Faculty
The University of Lagos has released its official UTME Merit Admission Cut-Off Marks for the 2026/2027 academic session. If you sat for UTME and you're eyeing UNILAG, this is the list you need before you even think of screening.
We've broken it down faculty by faculty so you can quickly find your course and see where you stand.
How to read this table
Each programme has two sets of scores:
- Merit: the general cut-off score. This applies to candidates outside UNILAG's catchment states.
- Catchment states: Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo each have their own cut-off for that programme. A NIL means the score for that state isn't published or the programme currently has no catchment allocation for that state, so go by the Merit score in that case.
If your UTME score is at or above the relevant cut-off for your course and state, you're eligible to proceed to the next stage of UNILAG's admission screening. Meeting the cut-off doesn't guarantee admission on its own; it just means you can be considered.

Post-UTME Results Are Out: What to Do Now
UNILAG has conducted the Post-UTME screening exam and released results. If you're one of the aspirants, here's what to do next:
- Calculate your aggregate. Your UTME score alone doesn't decide your admission, it's your aggregate (UTME + Post-UTME, weighted UNILAG's way) that matters. Use the UNILAG Aggregate Calculator to work yours out.
- Check it against your course cut-off using the tables above.
- If you've met the cut-off, join our Acadmate WhatsApp group and follow our WhatsApp channel for updates on the rest of the admission process.
- Need help? Message us on WhatsApp.
Quick takeaways
- Medicine & Surgery still tops the whole list at 83.425 merit, no surprise there.
- Computer Science (82.05) and Computer Engineering (82.175) are the highest cut-offs outside the medical cluster, so if you're gunning for these, you need a serious score.
- Courses like Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering have surprisingly low merit cut-offs (53.2 and 59.25) since they're newer programmes without established catchment quotas yet.
- A lot of Education programmes sit in the low-to-mid 50s and 60s, making Education one of the more accessible routes into UNILAG if your score isn't in the 70s-80s range.
Meeting the cut-off is step one. UNILAG will still run Post-UTME screening, so don't relax once your score clears the bar above. Keep grinding your prep.
