JAMB: 29 Less Competitive Courses In Nigeria In 2025 And Their Cut-off Marks

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

The decision was reached during the board’s annual policy meeting on admissions, held at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja.

According to JAMB, the minimum benchmark for colleges of nursing was set at 140, while colleges of education and colleges of agriculture will admit candidates with scores from 100 and above.

The policy meeting, which convenes stakeholders from tertiary institutions nationwide, reviews the previous admission cycle and agrees on guidelines for the new one. Institutions are also permitted to propose higher cut-off marks for specific courses or programmes, provided they do not go below the approved minimum.

JAMB emphasised that there is no uniform Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) cut-off mark applicable to all institutions, noting that universities, polytechnics, and colleges retain the autonomy to set higher standards in line with their requirements.
