JAMB Cut-off Point For 2021/2022 Admission Year
Most admission seekers get confused or excited whenever they see JAMB admission points.
One thing these studnts need to understand is that JAMB cut off point is just like a guideline for University to use in admitting students. It doesn’t mean they must use the exact JAMB gradings or cut off points. Universities and other tertiary institutions in Nigeria also have their own cut off point though not too far from that which JAMB offers.

What is JAMB Cut off Mark for 2021
JAMB cut off Mark is out! See the minimum cut off marks for admissions into:
- Universities in Nigeria is 140;
- Polytechnics and Colleges of Education will use 120 and 100 respectively; and
- Innovative Enterprising Institutes is 110
- Public Universities — 160
- Private Universities — 140
- Public Polytechnics — 120
- Private Polytechnics — 110
- Colleges of Education — 100
Is it that institutions don’t follow Jamb directives on the actual cut off point?
Of course they do, but they usually consider the number of students to be admitted due to the basic facilities or infrastructures the school has. Remember, learning cannot be appropriate in over populated school with few facilities.
How exactly Do the Tertiary Institutions offers admission?
It is said earlier that the Nigerian institutions also have their cut off points for each departments. For the students to be admitted, he/she must meet up with the set cut off point else he will be screened out.
To stand a chance of being offered admissions in the Nigeria tertiary institutions, one needs to have good cut of marks or points. Remember, JAMB examinations is highly competitive, not for the faint-hearts.
