JAMB Cut-Off Mark for Civil Engineering
The benchmark score for Civil Engineering according to JAMB is 140. In other words, so far, a candidate has score up to 140, he/she is eligible to apply for admission into any Nigerian university. Moreover, this benchmark score does not guarantee that one will be admitted.
To be precise, scoring 140 in the UTME as an aspirant of Civil Engineering will most likely not get you admitted as several universities set their cut-off mark at 220+. So, by default, a higher JAMB score increases the likelihood of securing admission into any university of your choice.
