The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has refuted reports of setting cut-off marks for admissions into higher institutions, stating that individual institutions determine their own minimum tolerable scores. This clarification comes after widespread reports of JAMB setting 140 as the cut-off mark for universities and 100 for polytechnics.

In a statement, JAMB emphasized that there is no such thing as a “cut-off mark” in the admission process, contrary to previous reports. The statement attributed to JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, announced the development at the 2024 Policy meeting in Abuja, attended by the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, and other stakeholders.

Additionally, the Minister directed that admission to tertiary institutions should not be given to candidates under 18 years old, in line with the 6-3-3-4 system of education. JAMB has been instructed to admit only eligible students who have attained 18 years, as required by Nigerian law.

The Ministry of Education is also introducing skills training for pupils from primary school to cater to those who may not gain admission into tertiary institutions.
