What is the Pass Mark for UNILAG JUPEB Entrance Exam?
The University of Lagos (UNILAG) Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) entrance exam is a gateway for students seeking direct entry admission into 200-level undergraduate programs. To succeed in the exam, it’s crucial to know the pass mark and grading system.
While there is no officially declared “cut-off” mark for the entrance exam, the minimum pass mark for JUPEB is typically set at 40%, which corresponds to a letter grade of E (Pass) according to the JUPEB grading system.
UNILAG JUPEB Grading System
Here’s a breakdown of the JUPEB grading system:
Letter Grade | Mark Range | Interpretation |
---|---|---|
A | 70 to 100 | Excellent |
B | 60 to 69 | Very Good |
C | 50 to 59 | Good |
D | 45 to 49 | Merit |
E | 40 to 44 | Pass |
F | 0 to 39 | Fail |
Understanding the Pass Mark:
- Pass Mark (40% – Grade E): If you score 40% to 44%, you will pass the JUPEB entrance exam, but this may not guarantee admission depending on the competition and course requirements.
- Merit and Above: For highly competitive courses, a score in the Merit (D) or Good (C) range, or even higher, may be required for admission.
Why the Pass Mark Matters:
The higher your score in the JUPEB exam, the better your chances of securing admission into your preferred course at UNILAG. Each course may have its own specific cut-off, so aim to score well above the minimum pass mark.
Ensure you are fully prepared for the screening exercise and good luck to all the newly admitted UNILAG JUPEB students!
