How is the JAMB Cut-Off Mark for Law Determined?

The JAMB cut-off mark for Law is determined by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), which is the body responsible for conducting the UTME and regulating the admission of candidates into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

JAMB considers several factors when setting the cut-off mark for Law, such as:

• The general performance of candidates in the UTME
• The number of candidates that applied for Law
• The capacity and quota of each university that offers Law
• The minimum standard of education required for Law
• The national policy on education and the need for equity and fairness

JAMB usually announces the cut-off mark for Law and other courses after the UTME results are released. The cut-off mark for Law may vary from year to year, depending on the factors mentioned above.

• Choose Law as your first choice of course and a reputable university as your first choice of institution
