Nigeria Police Academy (POLAC) JAMB cut off mark and departmental cut off marks for all courses for the 2025/2026 academic session is out.

If you want to apply to Nigeria Police Academy (POLAC) you need to know the JAMB cut-off mark and the cut-off marks for each course.

These marks are very important because they will tell you if you can apply or not. JAMB gives a general cut-off mark for all schools but POLAC has its own which is usually higher.

This is how the school ensures they pick the best students for admission.

The first reason you should know the cut-off mark is that it will tell you if you are qualified to apply. If your JAMB score is below the cut-off mark you won’t be considered.

The second reason is that it will help you focus on your preparation. When you know the score you need to reach you can study harder to meet or beat it.

The third reason is that it will save you time and effort. If your score is not high enough you won’t waste your time applying when you don’t qualify.

If your score is too low you can look for another school or prepare to retake JAMB. Lastly it boosts your confidence. When you score above the cut-off mark you will feel ready and excited for the next steps like the screening exams.

To get into POLAC you need to meet the cut-off, be 17–22 years old and be physically fit. Knowing the cut-off mark is very important if you want to succeed!

If POLAC is your first-choice institution, the initial step should be familiarising yourself with the approved admission aggregates for this year.

POLAC has different cut off marks for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Conclusion

The cut off mark is the score you need to get in your exams to be considered for admission into this school. Every other school has its own cut off mark and it can change based on the number of students that apply and how well they perform in the exams.

I want to use this avenue to let you know that, meeting the cut off mark doesn’t mean you’re automatically in. Schools also look at other things like how many spaces are available and how other students performed. 

If many students have the same score as you, the school might have to choose based on other factors. That’s why it’s good to aim for a higher score than the cut off mark. The higher your score, the better your chance of getting in.

If you didn’t meet the cut off mark set by JAMB or the school, don’t worry. You can re-apply next year or look into other schools with lower cut off marks. 

You can also check out other programs or alternatives like foundation courses that can help you get admitted later. Keep working hard, you’ll get there!
