JAMB Fixes Cut-Off Mark for Varsities, Polytechnic and College of Education
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the cut-off mark for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria for the 2023/2024 academic session.
The minimum cut-off mark for universities has been fixed at 140, while polytechnics and colleges of education have 100 as the minimum score.
This means that candidates who score 140 and above in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will be eligible to apply for admission into universities, while those who score 100 and above will be eligible to apply for admission into polytechnics and colleges of education.
However, it is important to note that individual institutions may set their own cut-off marks, which may be higher than the minimum set by JAMB.
The decision to fix the cut-off marks was made at a meeting of stakeholders in the education sector, which was held in Abuja on June 23, 2023.
The meeting was chaired by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu.
In a statement issued after the meeting, JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, said that the decision to fix the cut-off marks was based on a number of factors, including the performance of candidates in the UTME, the availability of spaces in tertiary institutions, and the need to ensure that only qualified candidates are admitted.

He said that the cut-off marks would be reviewed on a yearly basis, based on the performance of candidates in the UTME and the availability of spaces in tertiary institutions.
The announcement of the cut-off marks has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have welcomed the decision, saying that it will help to ensure that only qualified candidates are admitted into tertiary institutions.
Others have criticized the decision, saying that it is too low and will make it difficult for qualified candidates to gain admission.
Only time will tell how the cut-off marks will impact admissions into tertiary institutions in Nigeria for the 2023/2024 academic session.
Here are some additional details about the cut-off marks:
- The cut-off mark for direct entry admissions is two points.
- Institutions are allowed to set their own cut-off marks, but they cannot go below the minimum set by JAMB.
- The cut-off marks will be reviewed on a yearly basis.
