Against the backdrop of controversy trailing the move
by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) to post students rejected by
some universities to other schools, on the account of
increased cut-off mark, the apex examination body
has stated that affected candidates
should check its website on Friday, August 5, 2015 to
know the schools they are posted to.


Reacting to Wednesday’s protest by candidates billed
to participate in UNILAG’s 2015/2016 post-Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(post-UTME), JAMB spokesman, Mr. Fabian Benjamin
told Vanguard that the Board has entered into an
agreement with the school to post the rejected
students to other schools in Lagos environs.


According to Benjamin, “Admission is not the way
people think. We have Merit, Catchment and
closeness to a state. Those are the criteria we
are following to arrive at that list we sent to UNILAG.
It’s not about the cut off point, there are other
considerations.


“UNILAG has only 9,000 capacity in this year’s
admission exercise and that is why we are trying to
push the others to other universities.

They will not understand we are trying to send them
to schools that will admit them because UNILAG can
only take 9,000 candidates. But the
students are not being patient with us to get this
information across to them.”


“We sympathise with them but wish to state
categorically that the national cut-off point is just the
minimum expectation that
each candidate desirous of university admission
should have. However, universities are at liberty to go
higher than 180, depending on their
peculiarities and the performance of candidates who
chose them.


“For instance, if over 10,000 candidates who made
UNILAG their first choice scored 250 and above, it
will be difficult for them to go lower than 250 when
they are to admit only about 9000. I wish to state
that a time will come when some universities will go
up to 300 as their
cut-off mark, depending on the performance.”

Education is just fuckeed up in this country

Admissions is just getting tougher and tougher every year. A lot of aspirants must have failed Jamb probably due to the believe that Jamb cbt que is very simple and questions easy. But i must tell you that the jamb cbt was surprisingly complex enough with diagrams,calculations, etc. I'll advise all jambites next year not to be over confident or belittle the exam. It is not as simple as those latter year's ppt question. GOD help you all.
