Admission into any school in Nigeria is like a tug of war, yearly, you have over one million students applying to the different Federal, State and Private Universities around the country
…and out of this number only about 500,000 thousands (arguably) students will be given admission, what then happen to the remaining students?, they will be expected to stay at home and prepare for the next Jamb. Quite an Irony right?
To ensure transparency in admission, most schools (UNIBEN also) release how students are graded for admission, and this this through what we call an aggregate system.
Students who do not meet up with the aggregate score (Departmental cut off mark) and JAMB cut off mark for the course they want to study will not be given admission.
So now the question is, what is the JAMB and Departmental cut off mark for the different courses in UNIBEN.
This I will be showing you shortly, all you have to do from your end is to take a glass of water and read through diligently… ENJOY?

Is UNIBEN Cut Off Mark Out?

YES.
JAMB cut off mark to be eligible to participate in the University of Benin Post UTME Exam is out, but the departmental cut off mark for all courses is not out, as this is only released after the Post UTME exam has been sat for and students graded.
What this means is that, the departmental cut off mark I will provide you here is that which was released for last year.
Don’t worry, they hardly make changes to this, so, that for this year will be pretty much the same with what was used last year.
What Is UNIBEN JAMB Cut Off Mark?

UNIBEN Cut off mark for JAMB is the minimum score any student who selected the University of Benin as most preferred in JAMB, must score to be able to register for the Post UTME exam.
The JAMB Cut off mark for UNIBEN this year is 200 irrespective of the course you applied for.
Therefore, any student who sat for the Joint Admission and Matriculation Examination’s (JAMB) Exam and scores above 200 can move to the next stage of admission processing.
But if for any reason, the student was unable to make up to 200, even if the JAMB score is 199, that student will not be able to even apply for UNIBEN Post UTME.
Is this JAMB cut off mark for UNIBEN the same for all courses??♀️
YES, UNIBEN’s JAMB cut off mark is the same for all courses, whether Pharmacy, Botany, Law, Medicine and Surgery, just to name but a few.
I know you may have seen some miss-information elsewhere, where JAMB cut off mark highlighted for the different courses in UNIBEN were different, something like, JAMB cut off mark for Pharmacy is 215, cut off mark for anatomy is 200, or the Cut off mark for law is 220.
This information is not correct, although UNIBEN once used different cut off mark for all courses offered in the school, but this was far back in 2016, when admission of student was not through Post UTME, so UNIBEN instead used Student’s JAMB score for screening student out.
But this was only used for that year (2016/2017), and is no longer in use.
So, be rest assured that, provided you cross the 200 mark, you are eligible to participate in UNIBEN Post UTME exam, but this will not guarantee you admission.
Aside UNIBEN’s JAMB Cut off mark, there is the departmental cut off mark that is gotten from both your JAMB and Post UTME score, what we call your aggregate score.
What Is UNIBEN Departmental Cut Off Mark For All Courses

How To Calculate Your UNIBEN Aggregate Score
To Calculate your UNIBEN Admission aggregate Score, simply divide your JAMB Score by 8 and your Post UTME score by 2, then add both together.
Here is a typical example, using JOHN as a case study…
JOHN has a JAMB score of 258 and a Post UTME score of 65, to calculate for JOHN’s UNIBEN aggregate score, we will have?
(258/8) + (65/2) = 64.75
With this, it means JOHN is eligible to study any course with an aggregate score less than 64.75 as shown in the table above.
You can apply this to your JAMB and Post UTME grade to see where you stand.
In Conclusion
UNIBEN Cut off mark for 2022/2023 is out, while the JAMB cut off mark is 200 for all courses, the departmental cut off mark varies, depending on how competitive the course is.

If someone gets 67.5 as aggregate cut of mark and the aggregate cut ofark for computer engineering is 67
And the person is not in the merit list what could be the cause of this
Hey Evan, do note that merit list only constitute about 50% of the admission list.
This means, not all student that scores above the departmental cut off mark will be admitted, but for a course like computer engineering, you should be fine.
Do well to check for your name when other batches are released.
If I may ask sir,how possible is it to get physiotherapy with 54.25 aggregate
Hey Famous, Physiotherapy is quite competitive in UNIBEN and as such you require a higher aggregate score to be admitted via merit list.
Since you score above average, you could be admitted but not necessarily to Physiotherapy
