The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set
150 as the minimum cut-off mark for 2025 admissions into Nigeria’s
universities.
The board decided this on Tuesday during its policy meeting
for 2025 tertiary school admissions.
Every year, after the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME), JAMB holds a policy meeting to agree on student intake
criteria ahead of the admission cycle.
At this year’s meeting held at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu
International Conference Centre in Abuja, the board said the cut-off mark for
universities is 150.
The minimum cut-off for colleges of nursing was set at 140,
colleges of agriculture at 100, and colleges of education at 100.
At policy meetings, tertiary institutions propose cut-off
marks for their respective categories, which are then deliberated on and
approved.
But there is no uniform UTME cut-off mark for admissions, as
institutions are then allowed to set higher thresholds for various courses.
This routine, the board has clarified in the past, is
intended to prevent undue adjustments when the admission cycle commences.
It implies that no institution would be able to admit
candidates with any score below what they had submitted as their minimum
cut-off.
