The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has fixed 140 and above as cut-off mark for 2022/23 admissions into universities across the country.
The board also approved 100 as the cut-off mark into Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made this known at the 2023 policy meeting on admissions to tertiary institutions in Abuja on Saturday, June 24.
Oloyede said all institutions must abide by this rule and must not go below the approved points.

He stated that every tertiary institution must ensure its own minimum standard, especially as it relates to institutional screening and grading in the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE), which must not be lower than 50 marks.
The JAMB boss said: ”All institution must abide by this minimum point. This means that no institution can go below the standard.
”For the 15 private universities that demand between 120 and 130 as minimum points, note that the 140 is sacrosanct and must not be violated.
“This is because the system put in place will not recognise 139, so ensure you comply,” he said.
Oloyede added that institutions must not collect more than N2,000 as screening fees from candidates.
