JAMB pegs university admission cut-off marks at 140, polytechnics 100, CoE 100
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has pegged admissions cut-off marks for universities, polytechnics and colleges of education at 140, 100 and 100, respectively.
The JAMB registrar, Ishaq Oloyede, was speaking at the 2024 Policy Meeting on Admissions into Tertiary Institutions in Abuja on Thursday.
Mr Oloyede said the policy meeting was scheduled to give plans and modalities for conducting the 2024 admission exercise and the steps and procedures provided in their advisories.
The registrar added that universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education should admit candidates who are less than the minimum cut-off requirements.
Therefore, he said that institutions were also mandated to adhere strictly to the various admission requirements stipulated by the Central Admissions Processing Systems (CAPS) institutions.
Reeling out 2023 admissions statistics of candidates with UTME high scores but without admissions, Oloyede said out of the 5,261 candidates that scored 300 and above, 1,273 were not admitted.
He said that of the 41,466 candidates who scored 250 and above, 15,399 were not admitted and of the 296,909 who scored 200 and above, 138,754 were not admitted.
