The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially finalized plans to hold the JAMB 2026 Cut-off Mark Meeting on Monday, May 11, 2026. Specifically, this annual gathering is where stakeholders from across Nigeria’s tertiary education sector decide the minimum tolerable Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) marks for the 2026/2027 session. Consequently, candidates are advised to ignore any rumored cut-off marks until this official meeting concludes.
Venue and Key Stakeholders
Indeed, the 2026 meeting will be a high-level event hosted in the nation’s capital:
- Venue: Body of Benchers Auditorium, Jabi, Abuja.
- Chairman: The Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa, will preside over the session.
- Attendees: The meeting will include Vice-Chancellors, Rectors, Provosts, Registrars, and Admission Officers from all Federal, State, and Private tertiary institutions.
Agenda for the 2026 Policy Meeting
The JAMB 2026 Cut-off Mark Meeting is designed to address several critical areas of the 2026/2027 admission cycle:
- Benchmark Scores: Setting the national minimum scores for Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education.
- Policy Direction: Unveiling new guidelines for admissions to ensure transparency and compliance with federal character and merit.
- Merit Awards: The event will feature the 6th edition of the National Tertiary Admissions Performance-Merit Awards (NATAP-M), rewarding schools that followed 2025 guidelines most accurately.
What This Means for 2026 Candidates
Notably, while JAMB sets a national minimum, individual schools often set higher departmental cut-off marks based on course demand. Therefore, to be safe during the 2026 admission exercise, candidates should:
- Wait for the official May 11 announcement before making “Change of Course” decisions.
- Ensure their O’Level results are already uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal.
- Monitor the specific post-UTME requirements of their chosen institutions immediately after the policy meeting.
