The University of Uyo (UNIUYO), one of Nigeria’s most prestigious federal institutions, has released its official cut-off marks for the 2024 academic session. Cut-off marks are essential criteria in the admission process as they determine the minimum scores candidates must achieve in their Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to qualify for post-UTME screening and eventual admission.

What is the UNIUYO Cut-Off Mark for 2024?

The official cut-off mark for the University of Uyo for the 2024 academic session is 140. However, this general cut-off applies to most courses. Certain programs, especially in competitive faculties, have higher cut-off marks.

Here’s a breakdown of the likely cut-off marks for various faculties and departments:

The exact departmental cut-off marks may vary depending on the number of candidates applying and their performance in the UTME and post-UTME screening.

How is the UNIUYO Cut-Off Mark Determined?

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) sets a general minimum cut-off mark for universities across Nigeria. For 2024, JAMB has set a minimum cut-off mark of 140 for federal universities. UNIUYO adheres to this guideline but may adjust cut-off marks for individual programs based on the number of applicants and the available slots in each course.

Higher-demand courses such as Medicine, Law, and Pharmacy usually have cut-off marks well above the minimum JAMB recommendation due to their competitive nature.
