JAMB to Announce 2025 Admission Cut-off Marks on July 8

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has confirmed that the national cut-off marks for admission into Nigerian universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and monotechnics for the 2025/2026 academic session will be determined on Tuesday, July 8.

This crucial decision will be made during JAMB’s annual policy meeting, which is scheduled to hold at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja.

JAMB made the announcement via its official social media handle, stating:

“The 2025 Policy Meeting holds on 8th July, 2025 at Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja. The policy meeting is the gathering of stakeholders where policy guidelines and other relevant regulations on admission are discussed and ratified for the next academic year.”

According to JAMB, the meeting is strictly by invitation, but it will be streamed live on the board’s official social media platforms for public access.

The policy meeting serves as a platform for major stakeholders in the education sector—including vice-chancellors, rectors, and provosts—to set the minimum Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scores required for admission into various institutions.

Beyond setting cut-off marks, the meeting will also cover other admission-related matters such as timelines for registration, screening, and deadline for institutions to conclude their admission processes.

In addition, the event will feature the announcement of the top scorers in the 2025 UTME.

This annual gathering plays a pivotal role in shaping the direction of tertiary education in Nigeria, ensuring that admission processes are streamlined and in line with national standards.
