Read on to know your course cut-off mark for the 2020/23 session.

If you score the cut-off mark in your UTME, you still need to know that the UTME score only constitutes 60% of the point system method adopted by JAMB to process the admission, as both the UTME and O level results are used to calculate the overall points. How does it work?

How To Calculate Unilorin Cut Off Point System

  • UTME grade point =60 marks(180-185=20 marks,186-190=21 marks,191-195=22 marks,196-200=23marks….a 5 class range gives 1 mark increase)
  • Number of WASSCE sittings: Total Marks obtainable is 10 marks
  • One WASSCE sitting=10 marks
  • Two WASSCE sitting=3 marks
  • O level result grading from 5 core subjects: Total marks obtainable is 30 marks.
    • A=6 marks
    • B=4 marks
    • C=3marks

Based on these, Those who have more A’s than B’s or C’s have higher marks and more chances to become a student. So start calculating where you stand if you have your results already.

You are to also know that UNILORIN strictly follows the JAMB policy of Merits, Catchment Areas, and ELDS. The Merit list is only 45% of the total prospective candidates for a course, catchment areas constitute the other 35% and Educationally less developed states constitute the remaining. So a candidate with lower points who happens to be from the catchment states that include Benue, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Plateau, Sokoto, and Zamfara stands a better chance and coupled that most of these states are from the ELDS.

If your states appear here, you are not a member of the LDS family: Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, Anambra, Imo, Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Enugu, Edo, Imo and Delta and unfortunately you are not within the Catchment areas, therefore note that you are among the 45% only, then it boils down to your point system only.

What is it about the University Of Ilorin?

At the very beginning of the civil war, the 4 regions of the country gave way to twelve state structures and after the post-war, Reconciliation, Reconstruction, and Re. The Third National Development Plan was launched by the Murtala Mohammed/Olusegun Obasanjo Military Government in 1975 to consolidate on the reconstruction by emphasizing among other areas, Manpower development. Having these objectives, the Federal Military Government in 1975 established seven new universities: Port Harcourt, Ilorin, Kano, Calabar, Jos, Maiduguri, and Sokoto by the Decree of 1975, bringing the number of universities in the country to 13, and to balance the distribution 5 were situated in the North as the first generation universities were more of the south.

Based on the politics of balance, the University of Ilorin was established by the Federal Military government of Murtala Mohammed/Olusegun Obasanjo to operate from Ilorin, the capital of former West Central State that was later changed to “Kwara” the native’s name for the River Niger. The University started as a College of the University of Ibadan, with Dr. Tanumo T.N, as the pioneer Principal on the site of the Kwara state college of Technology. The inaugural set of 200 students was admitted on October 23, 1976, into 3 academic faculties of Education, Sciences, and Arts.

The University became a full-fledged autonomous institution in October 1977, with Professor O.O. Akinkugbe as the pioneer Vice-Chancellor. The University of 200 inaugural students now have a student population of 30,000 and the 3 academic faculties have grew to 15 faculties that include: Agriculture, Arts, Communication and Information sciences, Education, Engineering and Technology, Environmental Sciences, Law, Life Sciences, Management Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Physical sciences, Social sciences, Veterinary Medicine; a college of Health Sciences that comprises of 2 faculties of Basic Medical Sciences and Clinical Sciences; two institutes(education and sugar research) with a Post-graduate school.

The affordability of the school fees also makes it of high demand, coupled with its high flying ranking in the country. Unilorin is definitely the place to be.
