What the Cut-Off Mark Means for Aspirants
Scoring the minimum cut-off makes you eligible to apply, but it does not guarantee admission. EkoUNIMED considers several factors:
- Your overall aggregate score (JAMB + O’Level + screening)
- Course competitiveness (especially MBBS)
- Number of available spaces
- Performance in the university’s screening or interview
- Quality of your O’Level results (single sitting preferred)
Many candidates with scores well above 200 still face stiff competition for MBBS slots.
