The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, on Thursday, approved cut-off marks for universities and polytechnics in the country.

The polytechnics cut-off mark was 120, while the universities cut-off mark was 140.
It was previously reported that the JAMB registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed during the 2022 policy meeting that only 378,639 of the 1,761,338 candidates who took the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations scored 200 or higher.
