UNN JAMB CUT-OFF MARK FOR 2015 ADMISSION OUT?

Sponsored Link

Many UNN aspirants and their parents have been calling and asking questions about the general JAMB and departmental cut-off marks for the University of Nigeria. Many are very confused and don't know whether or not to change their courses or even institutions especially with the deadline of JAMB Change of Course/Institution fast approaching. Many websites and blogs are really not helping matters at all. In fact, they contribute to the rumours and falsehood that have pervaded the cyberspace. Some say that UNN JAMB cut-off mark is 200, others say it's 180 but they are all mere speculations as the school has neither decided nor announced their cut-off for 2015.

Actually, it will not be an over-statement to say that no Nigerian university has released her JAMB cutoff mark as I write this. All the figures posted around social media are just rumours. If you must know, schools hardly announce their JAMB cut-off marks before or during the period of Change of Course/Institution.

Some bloggers just copy and paste information that are over 3 - 4 years old forgetting that JAMB and departmental cut-off marks of Institutions are supposed to be a yearly decision of the Institutions. There were years that UNN used 200 as their JAMB cut-off mark but in 2013 and 2014, they came down to 180 (maybe due to the poor performance of 'jambites' in those years). Unizik and a few other Universities also came down to 180 in 2013 and 2014. Interestingly, while that was happening in some schools, FUNAAB increased their cut-off mark from 180 to 200 in 2014. So you see that it is not something that is fixed. No, it's not.

Almost all the Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria release their JAMB cut-off mark (for the year) together with their post-utme registration details and exam date(s). Many have speculated that UNN will still use 180 as they have done in the past 2years. Only time will tell.

For those that scored between 180 and 200 in 2015 UTME and wish to change institution, you can do so, not because you are sure of any school's cut-off mark but because you are not willing to take the risk of retaining your present school of choice. If your heart is telling you not to change your Institution, it's better you follow the promptings of your heart and maybe, just change your course to one that is less competitive to increase your chances of being admitted. I hope this helps.
