JAMB to determine cut-off marks for varsities, others next Tuesday
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will determine the 2025 admission benchmarks for universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and monotechnics in the country next Tuesday.
The admission benchmarks will be set during this year’s policy meeting that has been scheduled to be held at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre (former International Conference Centre), Abuja. The board announced this on its X handle @JAMBHQ late Wednesday.
“The 2025 Policy Meeting holds on 8th July, 2025 at Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja. The Policy Meeting is the gathering of stakeholders where policy guidelines and other relevant regulations on admission are discussed and ratified for the next academic year.
“:Please note that attendance is strictly by invitation, however you can follow us on our social media handles for live coverage,” the examination body announced.
The Guardian reports that the annual event brings together stakeholders in the education sector, including heads of tertiary institutions to deliberate and set policies for admissions.
The meeting usually sets the minimum Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination UTME scores that candidates need to achieve for admission into tertiary institutions. During the meeting, the Board will announce the best-performing candidates in the just-concluded UTME.
