UNN Cut Off Mark for Medicine and Surgery [Most Accurate]

Whenever the UNN cut-off marks for medicine and surgery come through your mind, always remember these two things; the JAMB score and the post UTME score.

Why? That’s because to get the UNN cut-off mark for medicine and surgery (MBBS), you have to add JAMB and POST UTME scores together, then divide them by two. This is what UNN calls a candidate’s aggregate score, and it is what they use to get their departmental cut-off marks.

Yes! In UNN, there are JAMB cut off marks and departmental cut off marks. When you pass the UNN JAMB Cut off mark for medicine and surgery, it means you are eligible to just buy the UNN post UTME FORM and sit for the exam.

But if you pass the departmental cut-off mark for the course, it means you will surely be admitted into the course.

UNN Cut Off Mark for Medicine and Surgery

318

318 is the latest UNN merit cut off mark for medicine and surgery.

However, noticed that we said “merit“. That’s because some candidates with a lower score still got admitted.

Do you know why? Because UNN, like other federal universities in Nigeria, gives admission based on Merit, Catchment (states within the school), and Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS).

Some catchment states for UNN are Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi, Abia, Anambra, Akwa Ibom, and Delta. While some ELDS states include Adamawa, Kaduna, Kogi, Benue, etc. See the complete list of states considered as catchment and ELDS in UNN.

Candidates from catchment states will have low cut-off marks, while candidates from ELDS states will have lower cut-off marks.

So, while UNN merit cut-off mark for medicine and surgery is 318, the catchment and ELDS cut-off mark are lower.

The table below will show you the UNN medicine and surgery cut-off marks for merit and some catchment states from 2017 to date.

Note:

• NR – means the cut off mark isn’t out yet
• NA – means the cut off mark wasn’t available online.

Just like we already mentioned, the cut off marks for ELDS are usually lower than merit cut off marks.

Below are some ELDS/Catchment cut off marks for medicine and surgery for 2021, that weren’t in the table above.

• Rivers – 288
• Kogi – 281
• Benue – 287
• Edo – 302
• Ebonyi – 306
• Delta – 309
• Akwa Ibom – 291

• UNN JAMB Cut Off Mark for all courses has always been between 160 – 200.

• Because of the competitive nature of medicine and surgery, sometimes even with a high JAMB score, candidates won’t still be admitted because of their low post-UTME score.

Courses to Change If you Didn’t Meet the Cut Mark

While UNN general JAMB Cut off marks for all courses, including medicine and surgery has been between 160 – 180, we strongly advise UNN medicine and surgery aspirants with JAMB score below 250, that they should change their course to less competitive courses.

Below are a list of courses related to medicine and surgery that are less competitive in UNN.

• Anatomy
• Physiology
• Medical Rehabilitation
• Microbiology
• Biochemistry
• Science Laboratory Technology

If your jamb score is between 250 – 270, and you are not so sure of getting 340+ in UNN post UTME, in addition to the courses above, you can change to Medical radiography or Medical Laboratory.

Note: Medial radiography is actually competitive, so if you choose it, be ready to have an aggregate of 270+.
