JAMB 2025: Varsity admission cut-off set at 150

News Update

Vice-Chancellors at the 2025 policy meeting convened by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) have agreed on 150 as the minimum admission cut-off score for universities across the country.

This implies that no candidate who scores below 150 in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will be eligible for admission into any university in Nigeria.

Despite the general benchmark, some top-tier institutions such as the University of Ibadan, University of Lagos, and Pan-Atlantic University have opted for higher minimum scores, pegging theirs at 200.

Meanwhile, several newly established private universities suggested a minimum UTME score of 120, though JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, proposed a compromise score of 160.
