The newly released cut-off marks show the minimum admission scores required for candidates seeking admission into the university\u2019s various undergraduate programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike a single general cut-off mark, the <strong>UI cut off mark 2026\/2027<\/strong> varies from one programme to another. The university has also provided separate scores for <strong>Merit, Catchment and Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS)<\/strong> categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Candidates who participated in the 2026\/2027 UI admission exercise can now check the UI departmental cut off mark for their chosen programme and compare it with their admission score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official University of Ibadan publication confirms that the figures below are the approved UI cut off mark 2026\/2027 admission exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"UI_Cut_Off_Mark_20262027\"><\/span>UI Cut Off Mark 2026\/2027<span

id=\"Courses_With_the_Highest_UI_Cut-Off_Marks\"><\/span>Courses With the Highest UI Cut-Off Marks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most competitive programme in the 2026\/2027 admission exercise is <strong>Medicine and Surgery<\/strong>. The UI Medicine and Surgery cut off mark for Merit and Catchment is <strong>80.00<\/strong> and an ELDS cut-off of <strong>73.50<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other programmes with high cut-off marks include Software Engineering at <strong>75.375<\/strong>, Computer Science at <strong>74.125<\/strong>, UI Nursing cut off mark is <strong>74.50<\/strong>, Dentistry at <strong>72.875<\/strong>, Electrical and Electronics Engineering at <strong>71.25<\/strong>, UI Law cut off mark at <strong>71.00<\/strong>, Mechanical Engineering at <strong>70.00<\/strong>, Pharmacy at <strong>70.375<\/strong>, and Accounting at <strong>69.50<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shows that candidates applying for highly competitive courses need substantially higher scores than the minimum required for many other programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Do_Merit_Catchment_and_ELDS_Mean\"><\/span>What Do Merit, Catchment and ELDS Mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Merit<\/strong> refers to candidates considered under the general merit admission category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Catchment<\/strong> refers to candidates from states within the university&#8217;s recognised catchment area. Depending on the programme, the Catchment cut-off may be the same as the Merit score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ELDS<\/strong> means <strong>Educationally Less Developed States<\/strong>. Candidates from states classified under this category may have a different UI departmental cut off marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Should_Candidates_Do_After_Checking_the_Cut-Off_Mark\"><\/span>What Should Candidates Do After Checking the Cut-Off Mark?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meeting the UI departmental cut off mark does not necessarily mean that a candidate has automatically secured admission. Candidates should continue to monitor the university&#8217;s admission updates and check their admission status when the admission lists are released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the release of UI cut off mark 2026\/2027, candidates should also ensure that their details and admission status on <strong>JAMB CAPS<\/strong> are properly monitored, as admission processing involves both the university and JAMB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your score is above the published cut-off mark for your programme and admission category, you have met the stated departmental benchmark. However, candidates should still wait for the official admission decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/examscholars.com\/blog\/admission-lists-2026-2027-schools-released\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12526\">Schools That Have Released Admission Lists For 2026\/2027: Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The release of the <strong>UI cut off mark 2026\/2027<\/strong> gives prospective students a clearer picture of the scores required for their chosen programmes. While many programmes have a cut-off of <strong>50.00<\/strong>, competitive courses such as Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Law, Pharmacy, Engineering and Computing programmes require considerably higher scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Candidates should carefully compare their scores with the correct <strong>Merit, Catchment or ELDS<\/strong> figure for their programme and continue following official University of Ibadan admission updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the most reliable information, candidates should always verify admission announcements through the <strong>official University of Ibadan website<\/strong> rather than relying solely on social media posts or unofficial sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/examscholars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_1_1787210517719-797x1024.webp\" alt=\"UI cut off 2026\/2027.
