2026 JAMB Poly Meeting: Two Major Updates Every Student Should Know

Here are two major updates that happened yesterday, 11th May, during the 2026 JAMB Policy Meeting.

Yesterday came with two major admission updates every serious student should be aware of.

First…

If you plan to study an Education-related course in a College of Education, JAMB is no longer compulsory from this year.

Secondly…

JAMB has officially released the 2026 minimum cut-off mark for universities.

The general minimum cut-off mark approved by JAMB is:

150

But don’t get too excited yet 👀

That 150 is only the minimum benchmark.

Universities can still set higher cut-off marks for their schools, and many schools have already done that.

For example, even if a university accepts 200 generally, courses like Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Law, and Engineering may require much higher scores.

Here are some schools and their approved minimum cut-off marks for 2026 admission:

220

• Pan-Atlantic University (PAU)
