If you have been looking around the internet for information on JAMB cut-off marks for 2018/19 academic session, this is surely the right article for you.

Before you partake in the POST-UTME screening/examination of your desired tertiary institution, it is very important to know if your JAMB score qualifies you for admission into the chosen school.

JAMB Latest News On Cut Off Point Cont.

After the results of UTME examinations, it is advisable that candidates realize their admission chances by confirming whether they have met the minimum requirement(s) that should qualify them for POST-UTME examinations/screenings. If a candidate fails to meet the cut-off mark for his/her school of choice, he/she can obtain a change-of-institution form and prepare for subsequent admission screening exercises.

Before you scroll through 2018/19 JAMB cut-off marks for various institutions, it is important that you find out what is meant by “cut-off mark’’. Basically, a “cut-off’’ mark is the minimum mark a specified institution requires its aspirants to obtain before they can be considered for admission. In that case, you may not be admitted if you fail to meet the minimum mark set by your preferred school. Also, various institutions reserve the right to specify their own cut-off marks for candidates to be considered for admission. However, such cut-off marks must not be lower than the ones set by JAMB.

For instance, JAMB’s latest policy fixes the cut-off mark for all Nigerian universities (including State and Federal universities) at 120 but this doesn’t mean universities must stick with 120 as the minimum score candidates need to qualify for admission consideration. In a nutshell, 120 is the minimum score set by JAMB but various universities set higher cut-off marks for admission consideration. A number of top federal universities including OAU, Unilag, UI and UNIBEN fix their cut-off marks at 200 while most of the other universities fix theirs at 180.

Another notable point is that every candidate is expected to know the relevant cut-off mark for his/her desired course because a course tends to carry a higher cut-off mark depending on its competitiveness i.e. the number of people aspiring to study it. Therefore, competitive courses such as Medicine, Law, Engineering, Accounting, Economics and few others tend to carry higher cut-off marks, especially in top federal universities.

What Are 2018/19 JAMB Cut-Off Marks for Polytechnics, Universities, Innovative Enterprises and Colleges of Education?

As earlier implied, the 2018/19 JAMB cut-off mark for all Nigerian universities has been set at the minimum of 120. Meanwhile, this is only the general cut-off mark as fixed by JAMB. Candidates should note that universities can set higher marks as the minimum score for admission consideration.

For Innovative Enterprises, JAMB has stipulated the cut-off mark of 110 but in the case of Colleges of Education and all Nigerian polytechnics, the stipulated JAMB cut-off mark is 100.
