To be direct: No, this combination is likely not good enough for Cyber Security at UNILAG.
​While your score of 209 is a solid attempt, you face two major hurdles regarding the subject combination and the competitiveness of the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

​1. The Subject Combination Problem


​By choosing Economics instead of you have moved into a "Social Science" combination. UNILAG is extremely strict about its requirements for Science and Engineering. Using Economics for a pure Science/IT course often leads to automatic disqualification during the screening process, regardless of your score.

​2. The 209 Score vs. UNILAG Competition
​Even if your subjects were correct, a score of 209 is significantly lower than what is typically needed for Cyber Security at UNILAG.
​Competitive Reality: UNILAG is one of the most sought-after universities in Nigeria. For a high-demand tech course like Cyber Security, the merit cut-off usually hovers between 250 and 270 (on a scaled aggregate).
​Aggregate System: UNILAG uses a 50:50 or 60:40 ratio between JAMB and O'Level/Screening. With a 209, your JAMB contribution to the final aggregate would be relatively low compared to the thousands of students scoring 260+.
​What should you do now?
​Since your combination includes Economics, you have effectively set yourself up for Social Science or Management Science courses.
​JAMB Change of Course (Same School): You could look for courses in the Faculty of Management Sciences or Social Sciences at UNILAG that accept your current combination (Maths, Physics, Economics).
​Examples: Economics, Actuarial Science, or Business Administration.
