Prof. Oloyede clarified that the benchmark score is not a universal cut-off mark for all universities.
Instead, it serves as the lowest acceptable score for admission consideration.
Various institutions had submitted their minimum benchmark scores to JAMB.

Notably, universities such as Pan-Atlantic University in Lagos, Covenant University in Ogun state, Obafemi Awolowo University in Osun state, and the University of Lagos were among the few that set their benchmark scores at 200 and above.
“JAMB does not set cut-off marks. What we establish is a minimum benchmark score that universities cannot go below. Each university has its own specific benchmark score,” Oloyede explained.
