Toggle2025 JAMB Admission Policy Meeting to Determine Cut-Off Marks, Review UTME Trends, and Set National Guidelines
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is set to host the highly anticipated 2025 Admission Policy Meeting, a crucial gathering that will shape the direction of tertiary admissions for the 2025/2026 academic session in Nigeria.
The 2025 JAMB policy meeting to determine the cut-off mark and other modalities for the 2025/2026 admission exercise has been scheduled to hold July 8th, 2025
The meeting brings together key stakeholders in the education sector—including university vice-chancellors, rectors of polytechnics, provosts of colleges of education, as well as regulatory bodies like the National Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), and the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE).
Key Objectives of the Meeting:
Set the Minimum Cut-Off Marks for admission into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education
Review 2025 UTME Performance Trends and candidate score distributions
Formulate New Admission Guidelines to ensure fairness, transparency, and national alignment
Standardize Institutional Admission Processes in line with national education goals
Address Stakeholder Concerns, including institutional challenges and feedback from student representatives
Why This Matters:
This policy meeting is a critical step in the post-UTME phase, serving as the official greenlight for institutions to begin their admission screening and offer processes. The decisions made here will affect over 1.7 million candidates who sat for the 2025 UTME.
According to JAMB, the objective is to promote equity, consistency, and transparency, ensuring that all institutions operate within a unified admission framework.
Prospective students, parents, and education consultants across Nigeria are eagerly awaiting the outcomes—especially the minimum cut-off scores, which often determine admission chances for popular programs like Medicine, Law, Engineering, and Mass Communication.
