VCs Set 150 as Minimum Admission Cut-Off for Nigerian Universities

Vice Chancellors of Nigerian universities have agreed on a minimum admission benchmark of 150 for the 2025 academic session during the annual policy meeting of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) held on Tuesday.

The decision means that no university in the country is permitted to admit candidates who score below 150 in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

However, some institutions—including the University of Ibadan, Pan-Atlantic University, and the University of Lagos—opted for a higher cut-off score of 200, in line with their internal admission standards.

Meanwhile, several newer private universities proposed a minimum score of 120, though JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, recommended a standardised score of 160 to maintain quality across the board.

The policy meeting sets admission guidelines for the upcoming academic year across universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education nationwide.
