JAMB General Cut Off Mark 2024/2025

Every year, JAMB sets a certain cut off mark for all universities, polytechnics and colleges of education which those schools follow to set their own departmental cut off mark.

The general cut off mark for 2024/2025, according to JAMB new policy, is 140 for Universities, 100 for Polytechnics and 100 for Colleges of Education which means that before you can study in any university, polytechnic or college of education, you must get the minimum point.

All schools are expected to follow the UTME general cut off mark or be penalized for going below. However, there are still situations where a university can admit a student with lower cut off mark than minimum.
