The JAMB cut-off marks for the 2024/2025 admission cycle are set at 140 for universities and 100 for polytechnics and colleges of education, but individual institutions may set their own higher cut-off marks, and meeting the JAMB cut-off mark alone does not guarantee admission as candidates must also meet their chosen institution's post-UTME and other specific admission criteria.
You won’t be on this page if you’re not searching for the 2022/2023 JAMB cut-off marks. The national cut-off mark is the first and next thing most candidates will be looking for as soon as Joint Admission and Matriculation Board releases the UTME results.
I know this from the past and that’s not going to change.

Now, to the cut-off mark for this year, below is what you must know.
What we conclude is, in most cases, a majority of universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education are consistent with the marks being used in the last admission. For example, some schools will not accept less than 200 no matter what JAMB says, some 180, some 150, some 140, and some strictly adhere to JAMB's.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, on Thursday, approved cut-off marks for universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education in the country.
The decision was taken after a heated session comprising officials from JAMB, the Ministry of Education, the National Universities Commission, and the National Board for Technical Education among others.
For the polytechnics and colleges of education, the 100 cut-off mark was approved while 140 was approved for universities.
But there is more you must know.
Key Information to Know About the National Cut-Off Marks
- Even if JAMB announces the cut-off mark, each school will still decide its own cut-off marks. This may conform to that of JAMB and it may not.
- No school will announce her cut-off mark until JAMB has come up with theirs. But that may change now that JAMB has given them the freedom to decide their cut-off marks
- Even before now, where a school declares a mark higher than JAMB’s, the school score supersedes.
- Therefore, don’t believe all lies you’re seeing online for now.

Conclusion
The JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board) cut-off marks for universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education in Nigeria are determined by the respective institutions and approved by JAMB. However, JAMB has set a minimum cut-off mark of 140 for admission into universities, 100 for polytechnics, and colleges of education.
It is important to note that meeting the JAMB cut-off mark does not guarantee admission into the institution of choice as admission is also based on the candidate's performance in post-UTME screening exercises, availability of spaces, and other admission criteria set by the institutions.
