As the 2025 admission season heats up, one of the most important things every prospective university, polytechnic, or college of education student should know is the JAMB cut-off marks. This year, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set specific minimum cut-off marks for various institutions and courses across Nigeria.

Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know:

JAMB 2025 Minimum Cut-Off Marks:

1. Universities: The cut-off mark for university admission is 150. This is the minimum score required for consideration, but keep in mind that individual universities may set higher cut-off marks, depending on the demand for courses.

2. Polytechnics & Colleges of Education: For polytechnics and colleges of education, the cut-off mark is set at 100. Again, this is the minimum, and specific institutions may choose to set their own thresholds higher.

3. Colleges of Nursing Sciences: The cut-off mark for admission into nursing colleges is 140. Students aiming for a nursing program should target this as their minimum.

Important Information You Need to Know:

Institutions May Set Higher Marks: While these are the official minimum JAMB cut-off marks, institutions are free to set their own cut-off points higher, depending on factors such as the number of applicants, course demand, and available spaces.
Age Requirement: The minimum admissible age for students to gain admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria is 16 years. This policy remains unchanged, ensuring that students meet the age requirement before their admission process begins.
