The Real Meaning of JAMB Cut off Marks

Cut off marks simply means the least mark applicants can score to be qualified for admission into any Nigerian University, polytechnic or college of education. This means, once you score less than the JAMB cut off mark, no school is allowed to offer you admission. In many cases, it is allowed for institutions to set their own cut off marks far above the JAMB cut off.

Meaning of School Cut off Marks

This is the minimum mark you must scored in JAMB for you to qualify to participate in the school’s Post UTME. In 2016, the UNILAG cut off was 200, OAU was 200 and UNIBEN also. Though JAMB cut of marks then was 180, but many scores still raised their cut off marks to 200 and above.

Course Cut off Marks.

This is the minimum mark candidate must score to be qualified for admission into a particular course they applied for. For instance, UNILORIN minimum cut off in 2016 was 180. Though, courses like Masscom was 240, law 220, Medicine 235, accounting 220 and many other courses like that.

Do You Think Universities Will Consider 120 for admission?

To be sincere, JAMB has giving schools the privilege to raise their cut off marks far above 120 therefore, don’t ever assume every school will take 120 as their cut off mark as many students wrongly assumed.

Since JAMB has made it clear that school can make their cut off marks to be more than 120, then expect most of the big federal universities to maintain their usual cut off marks. You can check the cut off marks of all Nigerian universities and Polytechnics here.
