Exciting news from JAMB! Find out about the latest changes in age requirements, cut-off marks, and top scorers for the 2024 admissions season.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has recently introduced new policies and updates for the 2024/2025 admissions cycle in Nigeria. These changes include a shift in age requirements, with the Federal Government directing that candidates under 18 years old should not be admitted to tertiary institutions. Furthermore, JAMB has set the minimum cut-off mark for varsity admissions at 140, impacting students applying to universities, polytechnics, and colleges across the country.

In a surprising turn of events, the Minister made a U-turn following objections from tertiary institution heads, urging JAMB and institutions to reconsider admitting candidates below the age of 18. This decision marks a significant change from the previous admission norms that allowed 16-year-olds to enroll in Nigerian higher education institutions.

Moreover, during the 2024 UTME, JAMB announced multiple top scorers, with three candidates achieving an impressive score of 367 out of 400. The list of top scorers was presented by Mr. Oloyede at a policy meeting in Abuja, adding an element of competition and achievement to the admissions process.

To ensure fairness, JAMB also excluded certain categories of candidates, including inmates, albinos, and persons with disabilities, from the post-UTME process. This move aims to provide equal opportunities for all applicants and streamline the admissions process for 2024.

Did you know that JAMB's decision to set the cut-off mark at 140 has sparked debates among stakeholders and universities? Additionally, the emphasis on age requirements highlights the importance of maturity and readiness for tertiary education. Stay tuned for more updates on JAMB's 2024 admissions process!
