The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, (JAMB) and heads of tertiary institutions in the country have fixed the minimum cut-off mark for admissions in the 2022/2023 academic session.

At the 2022 Policy meeting on Admissions presided over by the Minister of Education in Abuja, the nation’s capital, the minimum cut-off marks for universities is pegged at 140 while Polytechnics and colleges of education have 100 as minimum.

Professor Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar of JAMB, who announced the cut-off after votes by vice chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics and provosts of colleges of education, noted that the implication is that every institution has the right to fix its own cut-off mark even up to 220.

But, no one will be allowed to go below the agreed minimum cut off marks of 100 for colleges of education, 100 for polytechnics and 140 for universities.

The meeting also advocated the need for a review of admission criteria to give 10 per cent discretional power of admission to heads of tertiary institutions.
