We're happy to officially inform you that
Jamb has announced the Cut-Off marks for
entry into Nigerian Universities for
2012/2013 Academic Session.
According to a memo sent to us, the cut-off
for Universities has been fixed to 180 while
that for Polytechnics and Colleges of
Education have been fixed to 160.
Announcing the cut-off today, it is
important to note that these are the
benchmark cut-offs. This simply means that
NO UNIVERSITY CAN CUT BELOW 180 and NO
POLYTECHNIC OR COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
CAN CUT BELOW 160. That is, for any
student to gain admission into any Nigerian
University, they must score 180 and above.
This announcement also confirms that all
candidates who scored 159 and below
cannot gain admission genuinely into any
institution this 2012/2013 session and would
need to re-write Jamb's UTME.
Even with the announcement of the cut-off
by Jamb, each Institution reserves the right
to set a cut off higher than the benchmark
but not lower. This means that as usual,
most Federal Universities will cut 200 and in
the same light, most Federal Polytechnics
will cut 180.
We, , therefore advise
candidates to watch out for our original,
regular, up-to-date and detailed
information of respective institutions as
they will fix their individual cut-off. We,
however, expect most of the cut-offs to
revolve around the benchmark, since most
institutions will want as much as to pay
and write their post-utme exam.
With the announcement of these cut-offs, all
Universities have been empowered to
officially begin post-UTME. Post-UTME
Planning committees in various institutions
will begin publishing and sending modalities
for the conduct of the exam in their
respective institutions to us.
