The minimum scores for universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education were set at 140, 100, and 100 respectively. JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, emphasized that all institutions must adhere to these guidelines and should not go below the approved points.

Additionally, he highlighted the importance of maintaining minimum standards for institutional screening and grading in the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE), which must be at least 50 marks.

”All institutions must abide by this minimum point. This means that no institution can go below the standard.
”For the 15 private universities that demand between 120 and 130 as minimum points, note that the 140 is sacrosanct and must not be violated.

“This is because the system put in place will not recognise 139, so ensure you comply,” he said.
Oloyede also said that institutions must not collect more than N2,000 as screening fees from candidates
