Why do some sources show different cut-offs?
Some sites report older or generic cut-offs (like 180 or 160) used in previous years or for less competitive courses.
These may not reflect current standards, especially for programs in Health, Engineering, Law, or Journals, where competition is higher.
How is admission decided based on these cut-offs?
Even if you meet the departmental cut-off, you must still take UNIZIK’s Post‑UTME. Admission depends on your joint score (JAMB + Post‑UTME).
Meeting or beating the cut-off gives you a shot, but the final rank with other applicants determines if you get in.
