University leaders at JAMB 2025 policy meeting have set the minimum university entry score for 2025 at 150 earlier today. This implies universities nationwide cannot admit candidates who score less than 150 in the 2025 tertiary matriculation exam.
However, institutions like the University of Ibadan, the University of Lagos, and Pan-Atlantic University set their threshold to 200. According to reports, some private universities proposed 120, which was rejected by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
