Understanding Medicine and Surgery cutoffs

Each Nigerian institution sets its own departmental cutoff for Medicine and Surgery based on three factors:

  1. Demand: How many candidates listed the school as first/second choice for this course.
  2. Supply: How many slots the department can accept (NUC-approved).
  3. JAMB performance distribution: The general spread of UTME scores that year.

This is why federal universities running Medicine and Surgery typically have higher cutoffs than state and private universities. Private universities frequently accept candidates above the JAMB minimum (140–160) when they have spare capacity.
