What Is Jamb Cut Off Mark 2020/2021?

The jamb cut off score is used for admission into educational institutions in Nigeria.

As you should know that there is another admission criteria exercise after jamb which is post utme or screening.

So, here is what happens.

A score is released by jamb, this score must have been attained in jamb before a candidate can be qualified for admission.

If a candidate meet or beat this mark, he/she is qualified to participate in the school post utme or screening exercise.

This post utme or screening exercise is also another important criteria for admission.

 

 

Because the jamb candidates that apply for admission into schools in Nigeria are more than the quota (number of students the school can admit),  they have to remove some candidates by using some criterias in which cut off mark is among.

Only the candidates that meet this cut off mark are allowed to move on to the next admission exercise.

This is why it is very important that you score high in jamb, it gives you more confidence that you can gain admission to study your course.

I hope you get that, right?

Okay, let’s move on.

 

Is UTME Cut Off Mark Out For 2020/2021

The cut off score is not yet out at the time of publishing this post.

Please don’t be misinformed, it will surely be released but this will only occur after jamb (when the candidates results have been released).

But when they actually declare the general UTME cut off point for all schools, I will update this post with the confirmed details.

Have Jamb Reduce 2020/21 Cut Off Score

Once the board officially releases the cut off score for all universities, polytechnics and colleges of education in Nigeria, it doesn’t reduce or increase unless if it is critically needed to.

Don’t get me wrong, am not talking about a fake jamb cut off you may have seen somewhere or possibly It was a rumour.

Once jamb releases the admission cut off, it is rarely changed by them.

Sometimes,  educational institutions (Unis, Polys & COEs) in Nigeria do change the original score released by jamb.

They can either increase it or decrease it.

This depends highly on the performance of the candidates that applied for admission and how competitive the school is (number of applicants to the admission quota).

How To Calculate The Cut Off Score

There is something that you need to know.

The way departmental cut off score is calculated is totally different from that of jamb.

And the funniest thing is that you can’t even calculate your utme cut off.

It is just your score in the jamb exam that you need and you can see that easily in your result.

The score am talking about is not the one in each subject, I mean the aggregate jamb score which is over 400.

For example; let’s say I scored 300 in jamb and the jamb cut off point for the University I picked is 220, in that way, I have beat the UTME  cut off and I am eligible for their post utme or screening exercise.

 

Conclusion

As I repeat this, please take note of it again.

Jamb cut off is totally different from the departmental cut off mark.

Now in case you did not meet the cut off for the school you applied for, you can always do jamb change of institution so that you won’t have to wait for a year before gaining admission.
