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.
