JAMB Cut-Off Mark For Polytechnics
The official cut-off mark for Polytechnics in Nigeria is 100. However, the specific cut-off mark depends on the polytechnic. Therefore, Polytechnics are expected to set their cut-off mark for admission above 100.
Jamb Cut-off Mark For Colleges of Education
Similar to Polytechnics, the official JAMB cut-off mark for college of education in Nigeria is 100. Therefore, colleges of education in the country are not allowed to set their cut-off mark for admission below 100. Both colleges of education and Polytechnics have the same cut-off mark for admission. A specific college of education might set its cut-off mark to be greater than 100, but not below that.
Jamb Cut-off Mark For All Courses
Jamb doesn’t set the cut-off mark for Courses. Rather, it’s the school’s sole responsibility to set the cut-off points for the various programs offered at the school. For instance, the departmental cut-off mark for medical laboratory science at Taraba State University is 180. While the departmental cut-off mark for the same course is 200+ at the University of Ibadan.
Therefore, before applying for a particular course at your desired institution, you should confirm the cut-off mark for the course. You can do that by checking your desired school’s website. You should also confirm whether or not your school requires Post UTME.
This is because there are schools that require your JAMB Score and Post UTME Score before determining whether you are eligible for a particular course.
