The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB has announced that it will hold its 2026 Policy Meeting on Monday, where key decisions on admissions into tertiary institutions across Nigeria will be considered, including the approval of minimum cut-off marks for the 2026 admission exercise.
In a statement issued on Sunday by its Public Communications Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, the Board said the meeting would be chaired by the Minister of Education and will bring together stakeholders across the education sector.
According to the statement, the session will also review and adopt admission benchmarks, including scores for admissions, which traditionally guide entry requirements into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
The Board also disclosed that the 2026 Policy Meeting will host a delegation from Sierra Leone, including the country’s Deputy Minister of Education, Sarjoh Kamara, alongside two vice-chancellors.
