JAMB 2026: Important Admission Updates for Students and Parents

Students and parents across Mbaitoli/Ikeduru Federal Constituency have been advised to take note of key decisions reached during the 2026 JAMB Policy Meeting involving Heads of Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria.

The meeting agreed on new admission guidelines for students seeking entry into higher institutions across the country.

Here is a simple breakdown:

* To gain admission into a University, a student is expected to score at least 150 in JAMB.
* Students applying to Colleges of Nursing are also expected to score a minimum of 150.
* For admission into Polytechnics, the minimum score approved is 100.

The meeting also maintained that the official minimum age for entering tertiary institutions in Nigeria remains 16 years old.

Another major update is that students who want to study Education courses or Agriculture courses that are not Engineering-related may no longer need to write JAMB before gaining admission. This decision is aimed at encouraging more students to study courses important for teaching and food production.

Education stakeholders say these changes are intended to improve access to higher education and create more opportunities for young Nigerians.

Students and parents are encouraged to stay informed and properly prepare for the admission process.

My thoughts are with the family of Mene Ogidi at this difficult time. We must all stand firm in saying no to police brutality.

Another community. Another set of lives transformed.

From Vision to Result.

Progress in motion, one community at a time.

From Afara to Ifakala, from Amaocha Afara to Nkanu.
From Vision to Result.
