The statement said that the screening, which was carried out on August 12-14, was successful.
"A total of 17,935 candidates passed the screening test with a minimum score of 40%.

"We will continue to withhold them for further investigations, while the remaining 122 results have been released.
"The cut-off marks for admissions into the various programmes offered by the university have since been released on the university website,'' the statement said.
All candidates who participated in the examination were also urged to visit the university's website www.unilag.edu.ng for the cut-off marks and the individual scores.
The candidates were, however, warned that the university does not require any additional payments in respect of admission.
The communique made it clear that any request made by an individual or a group of individuals for payment in order to assist them to secure admission was fraudulent.

There has been much fuss regarding the UNILAG post-UTME exercise, a lot transpired within the course of carrying out the programme. It is recalled that there were issues of the cut-off marks. The future students and their parents had to protest in court, regarding the initial benchmark that was put at 250.
The case of a randy lecturer who allegedly raped a student who was seeking admission to the UNILAG, also sparked controversy. There were claims and counter claims as to the true identity of the lecturer as a staff of the university. It was reported that afterwards the 18-year-old victim was awarded a scholarship.
