JAMB shared this information on their X social media account.
“The minimum admissible scores for admissions for the next academic session have been fixed at 150 for universities, 100 for polytechnics, 100 for colleges of education, and 140 for colleges of nursing sciences by the stakeholders (Heads of Tertiary Institutions).”
After this viral post from JAMB official X’s social media, a Nigerian X user wrote on his page commenting that,
“The registrar of JAMB is admittedly saying that he’s incapable of maintaining the academic standard of the examining body. This man has done enough to be asked to hands off directorial duties. Why make the cutoff mark 100? Why not make it 50 and 22 for the North? Nonsense”.
The JAMB also replied to him by retweeting his post with a caption,
“@ uncle Ayo, Kindly note that JAMB didn’t set the minimum admissible scores, heads of institutions did”.
The UTME cut-off mark for universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and colleges of Nursing will begin in the next academic session, 2025.
