The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced 150 as the minimum cut-off mark for admission into Nigerian universities for the 2025 academic session.

The decision was reached on Tuesday during the 2025 Policy Meeting on Admissions, which took place at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja. The meeting was attended by heads of tertiary institutions and other key education stakeholders.

JAMB also approved varying cut-off marks for other institutions: 140 for colleges of nursing sciences, and 100 for both polytechnics and colleges of education.

“The minimum admissible scores for admissions for the next academic session have been fixed at 150 for universities, 100 for polytechnics, 100 for colleges of education, and 140 for colleges of nursing sciences by the stakeholders (Heads of Tertiary Institutions),” JAMB announced via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle.

The policy meeting serves as a platform for determining uniform admission guidelines across the nation’s tertiary institutions.
