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.

FAQs as regards JAMB Cut-Off Marks
What’s JAMB Cut-Off Mark for 2023 Admission?
At the 2023 Policy meeting on Admissions held in Abuja and chaired by the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, the minimum cut-off scores for universities were determined to be 140, while the minimum cut-off marks for polytechnics and colleges of education were determined to be 100.
Can institutions set marks higher than the agreed cut-off?
Professor Ishaq Oloyede, who is the Registrar of JAMB and who announced the cut-off after votes by vice-chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics, and provosts of colleges of education, stated that the implication is that every institution has the right to fix its own cut-off mark.
Can institutions set marks lower than the agreed cut-off?
No institution will be able to set a score lower than the minimum standard that has been agreed upon, which is set at 100 for colleges of education, 100 for polytechnics, and 140 for universities.
What Next?
As a result, approximately fifteen private universities that previously set their minimum cutoff points at 120 and 130 will now need to raise their minimum requirement to at least 140.
