The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), in collaboration with tertiary institutions, will, on June 24, fix the cut-off marks for admissions into tertiary institutions.
The cut-off marks would be adopted at the 2023 policy meeting on admission into tertiary institutions.
JAMB’s Head of the Public Affairs and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, announced this in the weekly bulletin of the board yesterday in Abuja.
The board said that the meeting would discuss, among others, the “acceptable minimum admissible score to be applied in all admissions to be undertaken by all tertiary institutions in Nigeria”.
Furthermore, the policy meeting, among other things, will decide the acceptable minimum admissible score to be applied in all admissions to be undertaken by all tertiary institutions in Nigeria.”
In 2021, JAMB scrapped the use of general cut-off marks for admissions and granted tertiary institutions the power to set their own minimum cut-off marks.
But the board said the institutions cannot go below such cut-off marks after adoption by the board.
