Your admission to your desired course at the school you’ve applied to primarily hinges on your performance in the UTME. This performance is evaluated based on your JAMB and Post UTME scores, along with your O’ level results, which collectively determine your total aggregates.
For Universities, the JAMB cut-off mark is 140, although some Universities may set their own cut-off marks above this minimum requirement. The differences in these cut off marks depends on whether it is a Federal, State or Private University and the program of choice. Similarly, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education have a JAMB cut-off mark of 120 or above, depending on the institution and courses.
It is important to note that no institution is allowed to admit students with scores below the approved minimum cut-off marks for the respective institutions. However, each institution has the right to set its own cut-off mark up to 220.
