The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, and heads of tertiary education institutions in the country have pegged the minimum cut-off mark for admissions in the 2022/2023 academic session.
The minimum cut-off marks for universities -140, polytechnics-100 and colleges of education-100 were made known at the ongoing Policy Meeting on Admissions presided by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, in Abuja .
JAMB remitted N27.2bn to FG coffers from 2017 to date – Oloyede
JAMB’s registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, who announced the cut-off marks after a thorough debates and votes by vice chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics, provosts of colleges of education, registrars and other critical stakeholders in the nation’s higher education sector, said the implication is that every institution now has the right to fix its own cut-off mark even up to 220 but 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.
The cut-off marks are from the scores of candidates in the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) which was conducted by JAMB.
The meeting also called for the review of admission criteria to give 10per cent discretional power of admission to heads of tertiary institutions in order to meet the demands from their immediate environment.
