The cutoff mark for universities is 140, and for polytechnics and colleges of education, it's 100.¹ However, I have to break it to you that there's no specific cutoff mark for underaged students writing JAMB. The cutoff marks are generally the same for all students, regardless of age.

That being said, if an underaged student is able to meet the cutoff mark, they may still face some challenges when it comes to gaining admission into a university. Most universities have a minimum age requirement for admission, which is typically 16 years old. So, even if an underaged student meets the cutoff mark, they may not be eligible for admission if they don't meet the age requirement.

It's also worth noting that JAMB has some guidelines in place for underaged students who want to take the exam. For example, students who are under 16 years old may need to provide additional documentation, such as a letter from their parent or guardian, to confirm that they have permission to take the exam.²

In terms of specific cutoff marks for different courses, it really depends on the university and the course. Some universities may have higher cutoff marks for certain courses, such as medicine or law, which are typically very competitive.³

So, to sum it up, while there's no specific cutoff mark for underaged students, meeting the general cutoff mark is just the first step in the admission process. Underaged students may still face some challenges when it comes to gaining admission into a university, and they should be aware of the age requirements and guidelines in place.
