JAMB releases Cut-off mark for 2015/2016 Admissions- read details below

We are happy to notify all that candidates that participated
in the 2015/2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME) that the Joint Admission and Matriculations Board
(JAMB) has finally released the official cut-off mark for
universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and
monotechnics in the country.

At the 2015 combined policy meeting on admissions to
degree, National Certificate of Education, NCE and National
Diploma, ND, Awarding institutions, the Permanent
Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Dr MacJohn
Nwaobiala, said that the JAMB UTME cut off mark for
Universities is 180 points and above, while that of
Polytechnics, Colleges of Education and Monotechnics is
150 points and above.

Now that the 2015/2016 JAMB UTME cut-off mark has been
announced, individual tertiary institutions can now go ahead
to fix their respective cut-off marks and announce the dates
for their respective post-UTME tests. These cut-off marks can
only be higher than the announced one, but not lower.
According to the Permanent Secretary, “So what we did
today is to ensure that we clearly agree on the procedures
and timeline and other issues relating to admission in our
tertiary institutions. And the most important is that we have
agreed on a deadline, when admission would be completed.
We agreed that all admission process should be completed
by 31st of October, 2015. Very importantly we also agreed
on a cut-off mark, just like last year, for degree awarding
courses it was agreed 180 marks and for non degree
awarding courses 150 marks. Admission would be based on
ration 60:40 in favour of science courses to Art courses and
ration 70:30 for courses in Technology and non technology
courses respectively”.
