The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has debunked rumours circulating online regarding 2020/2021 admission cut-off marks, clarifying that the official minimum cut-off marks will only be decided during the Stakeholders' Policy Meeting scheduled for June 15th and 16th, 2020.

JAMB To Announce 2020 Official Cut-off Mark After Policy Meeting On June 15th and 16th

Disregard Fake Cut-Off Marks Circulating Online

In an official statement issued by JAMB's Head of Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Board urged candidates and parents to ignore any cut-off marks currently being paraded by fraudsters.

  • How Cut-Off Marks Are Decided: Official minimum cut-off marks are determined collectively at the annual Policy Meeting chaired by the Honourable Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, with Vice-Chancellors, Rectors, Provosts, and heads of regulatory agencies in attendance.
  • Scheduled Date: June 15th and 16th, 2020.

While awaiting the official policy meeting and departmental cut-off marks, candidates should begin preparing early for their university screening exams using the Mentra POST-UTME app, available on both Android and iOS.
