JAMB Cut off Mark for Universities
Due to the massive failure of students that sat for Jamb in 2024, JAMB and stakeholders have reduced the cut-off mark to 180 out of 400.
In this article, we would be listing out Nigerian Universities that accept below 180 as cut off to offer you admission. It is understood that JAMB has set the minimum cut-off mark for universities to 160, polytechnics for 120 while that of colleges of education is pegged at 100.
Even so, the JAMB Registrar, Professor Oloyede pointed out in his interview video with Arise news, that “the purpose of the exam is to rank them and not to determine who failed or passed”. He also noted that “even if you score zero, you should be offered admission to these courses.”
A good Hint: Never apply for competitive courses if your JAMB score is not very much higher than the cut off mark.
Meanwhile, the practical minimum cut off mark for most Nigerian Universities is 160-180. Nevertheless, there are still universities that accept below 180 for admission, especially private and state universities.
Most state universities accept 150; private universities accept as low as 120 while some federal universities accept 160-170 as cut off marks.
