Institutions are, however, at liberty to raise their cut off mark for admission above the minimum set by JAMB.

JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede said institutions, with the decision, are not to go below the minimum cut off points adopted at the meeting for admissions.
According to him, “What JAMB has done is to recommend; We will only determine the minimum, whatever you determine as your admission cut off mark is your decision.
The board will ensure that criterion set by Senate are strictly adhered to by the institution’s admission officers and no shifting of goal post in the middle of the admission exercise.
