The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), along with key stakeholders including vice-chancellors, rectors, and provosts, has approved a minimum score of 150 for admission into universities and Colleges of Nursing Sciences for the 2026/2027 academic session. Additionally, a minimum score of 100 has been set for admission into polytechnics, while candidates seeking admission into Colleges of Education (CoE) will benefit from a waiver under the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This decision has elicited mixed reactions, with some stakeholders expressing support while others have raised concerns regarding its implications for academic standards.
