JAMB Cutoff Mark For 2024/2025

One of the criteria for getting admission is passing the JAMB cutoff mark. The cutoff is the minimum score you need to pass in order to be eligible for admission.

Students who do not meet the cutoff will not qualify for admission and vice versa.

However, in this article we’ve prepared a list of all the tertiary institutions in Nigeria and their cut-off marks for candidates that registered for the 2024 UTME exam.

Has JAMB Released cutoff Marks? 

Yes, the JAMB board of directors announced this on Saturday 3rd February,2024 in a meeting at Abuja. They also mentioned the minimum score candidates who registered for the 2024 UTME must get in order to be eligible to get admission into the university.

 What Is the JAMB cutoff Mark?

During the meeting, the board announced that the JAMB cutoff mark for universities is 140 and 100 for polytechnics and colleges of education. Students who do not meet this criteria will not be given admission.

However, this does not  guarantee that scoring 100 or 140 will get you admission into your choice of university or course.

There are other factors like post UTME, your O’level result etc.  

Also some universities have their own cutoff marks for their various courses.

What is the cut off Mark for university 

JAMB announced that the cut off mark for universities is 140. Candidates who score below 140 are not eligible to apply for admissions in universities; so you need to pass the cut off mark to be eligible for admission in the 2024/2025 UTME exam.

How To Know Your Department Cutoff Mark

Department cutoff marks are the minimum score you need to gain admission into the department. Department cutoff marks are usually set by the department based on some factors like available space, performance of applicants etc.

For example, medical college and faculty of law usually have a high cutoff mark and students who do not meet it would be transferred to another department related to the original course.

The department cutoff marks are usually released after post UTME exams which is the exam set by the school after taking your JAMB exam.

It is advisable to study hard and score high if you want to beat both JAMB and department cutoff marks.
