JAMB Cut Off Mark For All courses
There is no fixed JAMB cut Off mark for courses, the only Cut off mark for the various courses are decided by Schools and not JAMB, you can see the difference between JAMB and School Cut off mark for details.
Let us look at an example, JAMB cut off mark for UNIBEN is 200, but the Departmental Cut off Mark for Medicine and Surgery and Pharmacy is not 200…
…so scoring 200 in JAMB will only allow you participate in UNIBEN Post UTME, but been offered admission to study Pharmacy or Medicine as a course is close to impossible with that JAMB score.
This is because, the departmental Cut off mark for these Courses is dependent on both your JAMB Score and Post UTME score.
How To Calculate Aggregate Score For Courses
To calculate your aggregate, you will divide your JAMB Score by 8 and your Post Utme score by 2, then we can say that your aggregate score is the summation of your JAMB score divided by 8 and your post utme score divided by 2.
Lets say, a student who wishes to study pharmacy in Unilag scored 270 in JAMB and then 80 in Post UTME, the aggregate score can then be calculate as thus;
270/8 + 80/2 = 33.75 + 40
Making the student’s aggregate score 73.75
So you see that the higher your JAMB and Post UTME score the higher your average aggregate score.
This aggregate score is different for all Institutions, soon I will be updating you with Aggregate score for all courses in Nigerian Universities… Keep in touch.
Mind You: Post UTME is not the only way to get aggregate, Some Universities like AAU use O’ level to compute aggregate score for Students, while some, like the University of Lagos (UNILAG), uses JAMB, Post UTME and O’level.

Why is it the federals and states cut off mark is the same thing it has to difference.
What about the students scored 160 and above.
For JAMB there are three levels for tertiary education learning, which are; Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education and not as private or government owned.
The cut off mark approved by JAMB is the minimum score schools are allowed to accept, and yes, the school has the prerogative to increase it but definitely not to reduce it.

Hi
Why would the state’s University’s and the Federal University’s have the same cut off Mark.
What about those that scored up to 170?
This is not right, The State’s University’s And Federal University’s are not supposed to be the thing.
All fingers are not equal naaa.
