University of Ibadan Sets 2026/2027 Admission Cut-Off Marks Across All Faculties

The University of Ibadan's Undergraduate Admissions Unit has unveiled its full schedule of cut-off scores for the 2026/2027 undergraduate admissions cycle, setting minimum thresholds across all academic programmes. At the pinnacle sits Medicine and Surgery with a score of 80.00, demonstrating Nigeria's premier university's extraordinary appeal for medical education.

Three distinct pathways structure the admissions process: merit-based selection, catch-up admission, and the Educationally Less Developed States initiative. Programmes emphasizing health professions and technological disciplines occupy the most stringent entry tiers.

Among the most highly sought-after courses are Law, Pharmacy, and Engineering. Within their respective areas, Nursing Science and Computer Science stand out for achieving notably elevated merit and catch-up thresholds.

Ten separate departments within the College of Medicine each maintain individual benchmark scores, enabling candidates to understand competition within particular medical specialisms. Twenty-seven courses operate under the Faculty of Education banner, with entry requirements distributed between 50.00 and 53.625 across the three admission pathways.

A significant feature distinguishes these education-track programmes: merit, catch-up, and ELDS categories carry equivalent cut-off figures for every single offering. Seven programmes grounded in science similarly maintain parity, with identical thresholds applying regardless of which admission route candidates pursue, thereby facilitating streamlined evaluation for science-oriented applicants.

A floor threshold of 50.00 extends across numerous offerings in Arts and Education faculties, broadening admission possibilities for those interested in humanities-based and teaching-oriented careers. This stratified scoring methodology embodies the institution's commitment to fostering both programme-level competitiveness and broader accessibility aims.

Prospective candidates may now evaluate their JAMB performance directly against these released thresholds to determine their likelihood of acceptance into desired programmes.
