Nigerian Universities should have the Prefrence of Admission Criteria: VC

The vice chancellor of Igbinedion, Okada, Edo State, Prof. Eghosa Osaghe, spoke about this on Wednesday in an interview with NAN at Benin.

He said that each university should be allowed to have its own admission criteria / cut-off marks because the statuses of Nigerian tertiary institutions are not the same.

If you want to push all Varsities to have the same standard or the same level of operation, then you are waving off the main relevance of Competitiveness.

Universities work very hard enough to be the best because they want to be the best because they want to be on top & the considerations of top varsities should not be the same with the considerations of the universities who have very low standard of operation.

Prof. Eghosa also said that “We have a matriculating body, JAMB, let it be disturbed with administering entrance examinations while Tertiary institutions should be allowed to choose their criteria for admitting students.

“You cannot equalize institutions & fix the same standard of cut-off marks for them all,…Top varsities always have Stringent requirements that is practiced all over world. If you want to go Havard or Oxford, you must have good grades before you would be considered Admission.
