The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set 140 as minimum admissible scores for 2024 admissions into universities across the country.
The Registrar of the Board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this after the deliberations by stakeholders at the 2024 Policy Meeting on Admissions to Tertiary Institutions.
The meeting held in Abuja, on Thursday.
Oloyede said 100 had been approved as minimum admissible scores into Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
The registrar explained that the aforementioned points were the minimum, but that did not mean that institutions must comply with it.
He also disclosed that the set of candidates to be excluded from writing POST UTME are as follows, “Candidates from outside Nigeria who applied through UTME/DE modes are exempted from the Post UTME screening test but can be screened after admission.
“Candidates with disabilities, including but not limited to those who are blind, deaf, mute, autistic, amputees, lame, paralyzed, have Down syndrome, Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, albinism, cerebral palsy, and disfigurements, are exempt from the Post-UTME screening test
