We have been receiving calls and messages from 2015/2016 JAMB UTME
applicants regarding the official cut-off mark of various universities,
polytechnics and colleges of education in
Nigeria.
We are happy
to inform all JAMBites that JAMB has finally announced the cut-off marks
that would be used for this year’s admission exercise.
The Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and tertiary education
stakeholders on Thursday in Abuja adopted 180 as the cut-off mark for
2016 admission into universities, polytechnics and colleges of
education.
The decision was reached at the 2016 Combined Policy
Meeting on Admissions to Degree, Nigerian Certificate of Education (NCE)
and National Diploma (ND) chaired by the Minister of Education, Adamu
Adamu. In his opening remark, Mr. Adamu said if there was confidence in
JAMB’s conduct of the University Tertiary Matriculation Examinations
(UTME), there should be no need for post-UTME.
The post-UTME is
organised by various tertiary institutions to screen candidates who
applied to such institutions and who had scaled through JAMB’s UTME. “If
the universities have problem with what JAMB is doing, they should come
forward with it and we will address it.
“JAMB is one of the most
active parastatals in the ministry; I expect that policies that would be
beneficial to Nigerian students should be discussed at this meeting. “I
believe there should be no ground to lower the quality; Nov. 30 remains
the closing date for 2016 admission. “No institution should exceed its
quota in admission; we will start issuing penalties to defaulting
institutions.’’
Help share this, you just might be helping a friend.
MSG Team.
