JAMB Announces “Cut-Off Marks” For Admission into Varsities, Polytechnics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the minimum cut-off marks for admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions for the 2024\/2025 academic session. These benchmarks were established during the 2024 Policy Meeting on Admissions to Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Universities: 140\/400 (35%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Polytechnics: 100\/400 (25%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Colleges of Education: 100\/400 (25%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Innovative Enterprise Institutions: 100\/400 (25%)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, emphasized that these scores are the minimum thresholds, and institutions are at liberty to raise their admission cut-off marks above these levels. He also noted that no institution is allowed to set its admission cut-off mark below the approved minimum score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Board reiterated its commitment to ensuring a transparent and fair admission process. Institutions are expected to adhere strictly to merit, giving consideration to catchment areas and educationally disadvantaged states in their admission procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Candidates are advised to check with their chosen institutions for specific departmental cut-off marks, as these may vary and be higher than the general institutional minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    JAMB also used this opportunity to remind all stakeholders about the official timelines for the 2024\/2025 admissions process, urging strict compliance to ensure a smooth exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For more detailed information and updates, candidates and the public are encouraged to visit the official JAMB website or contact their desired institutions directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
