JAMB SLASHES CUT OFF MARK FOR ADMISSIONS INTO TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS

JAMB REINTRODUCE POST-UTME AND SLASH CUT-OFF MARKS FOR ADMISSION

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has slashed the minimum national cut-off mark for admissions into universities and other degree awarding institutions in Nigeria at 120 in line with the new flexible admission policy of the Board.

The Board has also pegged the cut-off points for Polytechnics and Colleges of Education at 100, while that of the Monotechnics is fixed tentatively at 110.

Federal Government has made U-turn on the cancellation of the Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Post-UTME) by reintroducing the conduct of the examination by tertiary institutions and also directed institutions not to sale post UTME forms more than two thousand Naria (#2000).

Talking to news men, the JAMB registrar  Prof. Is-haq Oloyede said that what the above means is that universities will not go beyond the stipulated minimum cut-off mark for their admission processes but will be allowed to determine their cut-off marks.

Finally, he concluded by saying that Admissions into Public degree awarding institutions for the 2017 UTME examination will end January 15th, 2018 while for Private institutions will end on January 31st, 2018.
