The University of Ibadan (UI) has officially released the 2026/2027 admission cut-off marks for its Law, Pharmacy, and Medicine and Surgery programmes. The announcement provides candidates who participated in the institution's Post-UTME screening with clear benchmarks across three admission categories: Merit, Catchment Areas, and Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS).
Cut-Off Marks for Law, Pharmacy, and Medicine
For the Law programme, candidates must achieve a minimum score of 71.00 under both the Merit and Catchment Areas categories, while the ELDS category requires a slightly lower score of 69.125. Pharmacy applicants face a Merit and Catchment Areas threshold of 70.375, with an ELDS minimum of 68.625.
Medicine and Surgery, the most competitive of the three courses, demands the highest scores: 80.00 for Merit and Catchment Areas, and 73.5 for ELDS. These figures were announced following the conclusion of UI's Post-UTME screening exercise for candidates who selected the university as their first choice during JAMB registration.
Qualification Criteria and Impact
To be considered for admission, applicants must score at or above the stated minimum for their respective category. The university's tiered system aims to balance academic excellence with regional inclusivity, ensuring candidates from less-developed states have a fair opportunity.
The release of these cut-off marks comes amid broader developments in Nigerian university admissions. In a related report, a young man who worked at a filling station while preparing for JAMB secured admission to study Medicine and Surgery at UI. He sat for JAMB three times, scoring 330 in his final attempt and 79/100 in the UI Post-UTME, ultimately gaining admission.
