JAMB Cut Off Mark For Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education 2025/2026 Session

After a lengthy meeting which held in Abuja, Chaired by the Honourable minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, attended by vice- chancellors, reactors and provosts of public and private Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education and Monotechnics, the board decided that the release of the new JAMB cut-off marks would end the anxiety that has since enveloped candidates who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Though the general public has frowned at the reduction in the new JAMB Cut Off mark for 2025/2026 and has tagged it to the nosediving and staggering standard of Nigerian tertiary institution but the body (JAMB) refuted this claim and made it clear that this was done to make the process more flexible. JAMB has given strict instructions to all tertiary institutions against shortchanging candidates whose performances merit admission, saying it would not deal decisively with any institution found wanting of this act.

Upon voting, the board agreed that the cut off mark for 2025/2026 academic session be as follows:

  1. Universities – 150 and above.
  2. Polytechnic – 100 and above
  3. Colleges of Education – 100 and above

Please note that tertiary institutions are at liberty to determine their cut off marks. however, it must not be below the minimum standard set by the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB).

In this post, we have listed  the new JAMB UTME cut off marks for all Federal and State Universities in Nigeria as released by the board. These new JAMB cut off mark would serve as benchmarks for all states and federal universities in operating in Nigeria.You can either choose to watch the video to gain more insight about JAMB cut off mark for 2025/2026 or read through the post below.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Please take note that before embarking on for internal screening after beating the JAMB cut-off mark for 2025/2026, it is advised that your O’level result  be complete because schools no longer accepts awaiting results.

Also, prospective students and candidates are advised to select some less competitive courses in order to stand a chance of gaining admission into any of the states or federal universities in Nigeria most especially, candidates that did not make a high score in their UTME, because despite the general JAMB UTME cut off marks for all universities, the states and federal still have the power to set the departmental cut off marks which is another hurdle every candidate would have to jump in order to finally gain admission into his or her choice of institution.

For students who did not meet the JAMB cut off mark of their preferred choice and wish for a change are advised to follow the steps on JAMB change of university and course

Good luck in your quest for admission.
