New Cut-off Marks for Tertiary Institutions

JAMB has established 140 as the minimum cut-off mark for admission into universities. For polytechnics and colleges of education, the cut-off mark has been set 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.
