The administration of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has approved the cut-off marks that will be used for the admission procedure for the 2023/2024 academic session.
The cut-off marks were arrived at following votes by vice-chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics and provosts of colleges of education.
No institution will be allowed to go below the agreed minimum cut-off marks
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the approval of the cut-off marks for admission into tertiary institutions during the last policy meeting on admissions. JAMB and stakeholders in the country’s education sector have pegged the minimum cut-off score for Nigerian universities at 140, polytechnics at 100, and colleges of education at 100.
According to Is-haq Oloyede, the Registrar of JAMB, the minimum benchmark should not be considered as a one-size-fits-all requirement for all institutions. He emphasized that while the meeting determines the minimum cutoff point, each institution has the freedom to set their own minimum requirement higher than the agreed benchmark.
