During the recent policy meeting on admissions, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) officially released the approved cut-off marks for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria. In collaboration with key stakeholders in the country's education sector, JAMB has set the minimum cut-off score for Nigerian universities at 140, while polytechnics and colleges of education have been assigned a minimum cut-off score of 100 each.
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.
Below are the minimum cutoff marks outlined by various institutions for the admission process of the 2022/2023 academic session. These criteria can serve as valuable reference points for the forthcoming 2023/2024 academic session.
