The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has established a cut-off score of 140 and above for admissions to universities across the country in 2022/23.
The Registrar of the Board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, revealed this on Saturday during a presentation at the 2023 Policy Meeting on Admissions to Tertiary Institutions and Awards in Abuja.
Oloyede further stated that the board had authorized a cut-off score of 100 for polytechnics and colleges of education.
However, the JAMB Registrar stated that universities are free to set their own cut-off marks, but no university will admit any candidate who scores below the 140 mark.
At the policy meeting, the Federal Government also charged JAMB with upholding the integrity of the test at all times.
According to David Adejoh, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, a compromised test system will have a severe influence on the nation’s workforce.
