JAMB Cut off Mark 2022/2022 For All Nigerian Schools

Breaking news reaching our news desk today, is that JAMB has

fixed 2022 cut off marks for Universities, Polytechnics and

Colleges of Education. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation

Board (JAMB) conferred on Tuesday, and officially fixed the cut-

off marks for admission into higher institutions of learning for

the 2022 academic session.

The board came to this fixed cut off mark for 2022 at their last

policy meeting. This policy meeting is held Yearly to ascertain

the cut off marks for admission into Nigerian institutions.

This meeting was held with the heads of Nigeria academic

institutions and other education regulatory bodies in FCT Abuja,

where the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board confirmed

and approved 120 as the minimum mark for degree-awarding

academic institutions.

The meeting which was held at the National Judicial Institute, in

the capital city of Nigeria, Abuja, had in attendance vice

chancellors, Rectors, Provosts and Registrars of tertiary

institutions.

However, for polytechnics, the minimum mark required for

admission of candidates into Polytechnics is set at 100, while

the highest that an institution can fix is 180. The same mark

applies to Colleges of Education.

This is to officially cement the fact that almost all candidates

who sat in the just concluded JAMB test, are qualified for

admission into their chosen institution. Please take note that

the admission cut-off mark for Innovative Enterprise

Institutions ranges between 110 and 120.

According to the current JAMB Registrar, Prof. Isiaq Oloyede,

who said that leading academic institutions VC wherein

attendants and all agreed to this cutoff marks. The registrar also pointed out that the newly agreed marks would over-ride the previous marks submitted by the institutions.

Professor Oloyede went further to warned that the JAMB board

would not allow any academic institution to go below the

endorsed and confirmed marks in their admission process.

The JAMB registrar however disclosed that the reduction in the

2022 admission cut-off marks does not portend any danger

for the Nigeria education standard and does not translate it to

a fall in education standard.

The JAMB registrar said the decisions on first choice candidates

by degree awarding universities would end on the 15th October,

while the second choice candidates would end on the 15th of

December, after which the remaining students will be available

in the market place for other institutions till January closing

date.

Prof. Oloyede also disclosed that a Central Admission

Processing System (CAPS) would be used to streamline

admission processes among institutions offering admission to

candidates in 2022, as it addresses challenges associated with

the former approach.

He said and I quote below:

“We should not be emotional in fixing Nigeria

Universities cut-off mark; we need not over-dramatise

issue such as cut-off mark. “In order to enhance

transparency in our educational sector, no automated

admission for those without the necessary

requirements will be tolerated by the board.”

Speaking on the cancellation of POST UTME, the Registrar said

the cancellation of post-UTME was a mistake, urging JAMB to

ensure that fee for the examination should not exceed any

below Two thousand Naira (N2,000).
