JAMB Releases 2014 Admission Cut-Off Marks, Universities 180 While Poly, COE 150

The Joint Admission and Matriculations Board, JAMB, has released the cut-off marks for the 2014 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.

The board retained the existing 180 cut-off mark for admission into universities in Nigeria.

It also pegged the cut-off marks for admission into Polytechnics and Colleges of Education (COE) at 150.

The board arrived at this after a debate by stakeholders, including Vice Chancellors, Rectors and Provosts at the fifth combined policy meeting on admissions to tertiary institutions held at the National Universities Commission (NUC), Abuja.

JAMB Registrar and Chief Executive, Professor ‘Dibu Ojerinde, who made this disclosure while speaking with newsmen, said the decisions were unanimously accepted by all stakeholders at the meeting.

Chairman of the Board, Mr Eze, however, urged the institutions to strictly adhere to 60:40 Science to Arts ratio for conventional institutions and the 70:30 Technology to non-Technology ratio for specialised institutions, which were aimed at entrenching the technical advancement of the country.

Eze equally urged both federal and state-owned institutions to abide by the guidelines approved by their proprietors to promote unity, integration, geographical spread and equity.

“Accordingly, the 45:35:20 admissions quota for the merit, catchment area and educationally-less-developed states criteria should be complied with by federal institutions.” He said.
