At the meeting, officials will decide the minimum cut-off marks for the 2026/2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), along with other important admission guidelines.
According to JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin, the event will take place at the Body of Benchers Auditorium in Jabi, Abuja.
