By Obinna Nnorom
The official cut-off marks for the 2024 Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) admission exercise into tertiary institutions in Nigeria have been announced.
Making the revelation this Thursday at the policy meeting held in Abuja presided over by the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman and attended by all relevant stakeholders in the education sector, it restated that JAMB only sets minimum benchmark score.
The policy meeting agreed on a minimum score of 140 for candidates seeking University admission, and 100 for Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
It was also disclosed at the meeting that there’s no such thing as a ‘cut-off mark’ in the admission process to tertiary institutions in Nigeria, as what’s obtainable is the minimum tolerable score determinable by individual institutions.
“JAMB does not set cut-off mark. What we have is a minimum benchmark score that any university cannot go below. Different universities have their benchmark scores,” JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede announced.
