The "best" university for medicine is subjective and depends on criteria like ranking and specific cut-off scores, but the University of Ibadan is often ranked first in Nigeria, followed closely by the University of Lagos. Cut-off marks vary significantly by institution and can change yearly based on applicant scores and competition, but a few examples include the University of Ibadan (78.125 total for 2024/2025), the University of Lagos (80.8 for 2023/2024), and the University of Port Harcourt (260 for 2024/2025).
Universities with high rankings and examples of cut-off marks
University of Ibadan (UI): Often ranked as a top institution for medicine in Nigeria.
Cut-off mark (2024/2025): 78.125 for both UTME and Post-UTME scores combined for Medicine and Surgery.
University of Lagos (UNILAG): Consistently ranked among the top universities for medicine.

Important factors to remember
Cut-off marks are not fixed: They change annually based on the number of applicants and their performance. Universities with higher competition will have higher cut-off marks.
UTME vs. Post-UTME: Some cut-off marks include both the UTME score and the Post-UTME result, while others are based on a minimum UTME score. Always check the specific requirements for the university you are interested in.
