Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board and heads of tertiary education institutions in Nigeria have reviewed and adopted a new minimum cut-off mark for admissions in the 2022/2023 academic session.
JAMB pegged the minimum cut-off marks for universities at 140, polytechnics at 100 and colleges of education at 100.
The board’s registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, said the implication was that every institution has the right to fix its own cut-off mark even up to 220.
Oloyede noted that no one would be allowed to go less than the agreed minimum marks of 100 for colleges of education, 100 for polytechnics and 140 for universities.
He also disclosed that the merit quota for federal universities remains 45percent, while the state universities fall between the indigene and national quotas.
