The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has adopted the National Minimum Tolerable admission score of 140 into universities and 100 into polytechnics and colleges of education.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede who made this known at the 2023 Policy Meeting of Tertiary Institutions on Saturday in Abuja, noted that all institutions in the country either public or private, must not go below the approved points.
Oloyede further added that every tertiary institution must ensure its own minimum standard which must not be lower than 50 marks especially institutional screening and grading of Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) also, institutions must not collect more than N2,000 as screening fees from candidates.
He said: ”All institutions must abide by this minimum point. This means that no institution can go below the standard.
”For the 15 private universities that demanded 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.”
