JAMB said the set benchmark implies that what was set becomes the minimum score for any candidate willing to be admitted into any respective institutions.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) held the 2023 Policy meeting on 24th June 2023 at the National Judicial Institute, Abuja.
During the meeting, stakeholders discussed critical issues emanating from the just-concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the sale of Direct Entry (DE) application documents in addition to setting the tone for the 2023/2024 Admission exercise in tertiary institutions.
The policy meeting, chaired by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Andrew Adejoh, took the decision following recommendations by the heads of institutions.
JAMB Registrar, Is-haq Oloyede, said the minimum benchmark is not a single-suit-fits-all for all institutions, noting that though the meeting decides the minimum point, “institutions have the liberty to raise their individual minimum points higher than the agreed benchmark.”
The benchmarks of 140 for universities and 100 for polytechnics and colleges of education were arrived at during the 2023 annual policy meeting on admissions into tertiary institutions, which was held in Abuja on Saturday.
