RUN cut off mark for Estate Management 2026/2027

RUN requires a UTME score of 190 for Estate Management in 2026. The institution ranks 19th out of 21 institutions offering the course in this guide, providing a comparatively accessible route into the programme.

Clearing 190 at UTME is the threshold to be considered, not a guarantee of admission. The post-UTME or screening aggregate decides who actually gets the place. A typical aggregate for Estate Management at RUN that secures an offer sits broadly in the 65.8+ range on the 100-point scale, though the exact threshold moves year to year with applicant volume.

Redeemer's University uses the standard Nigerian aggregate model for Estate Management: a weighted blend of UTME score, post-UTME or screening result, and O'level grade points. The most common federal-university split is 50% UTME, 30% post-UTME, 20% O'level, scaled to a 100-point aggregate.

Worked example: a candidate with a UTME of 250 (= 31.25 of 50), a post-UTME score of 65 of 100 (= 19.5 of 30) and five A1 grades at O'level (= 20 of 20) finishes on an aggregate of 70.75, comfortably above typical Estate Management thresholds at most institutions. A weaker O'level pulls the number down materially, which is why many candidates underestimate the role of secondary-school results in the admission decision.

Each component matters in proportion to its weight. UTME at 50% remains the largest single component, but post-UTME at 30% is enough to lift or sink an otherwise borderline application. O'level grades at 20% reward consistent strength across the school years.

Private institutions like RUN sometimes diverge from the 50-30-20 split, using an internal aptitude test or interview instead of a points-based post-UTME. The principle remains the same: a single component cannot redeem a weak overall profile, and candidates should prepare for every stage of the screening.

A realistic plan for Estate Management at RUN starts with a UTME target above the cut-off, not at the cut-off. Aim for 205+, which gives a comfortable margin and protects against last-minute rises in the cut-off. Candidates who score exactly at the cut-off are often squeezed out by post-UTME aggregates, because higher-scoring candidates rank above them on the final list.

Post-UTME performance matters as much as the UTME score. Even a candidate at 205+ needs a strong post-UTME to translate eligibility into admission. Past papers, focused revision of the post-UTME syllabus and timed practice are the standard preparation.

If 190 looks out of reach, consider second-choice institutions for the same course at lower cut-offs in this guide, or related courses at RUN with lower cut-offs. The change-of-course window during the cycle is the formal route to switch, and many candidates use it to recover from a UTME score that fell short of the first-choice target.

The cut-off has held steady, suggesting a stable competition profile for the course at RUN. Confirm the official RUN admission portal for any mid-cycle adjustments before paying any fees.
