I just saw in the wed, 9th july 2008 edition of the punch newspapers dat JAMB on tuesday, 'had reached an agreement with the various universities to fix 170 points as the cut-off mark for entry into universities from the Universities Matriculation Examinations.' The reason was 'based on the performance of candidates during the examinations, which was slightly better than that of 2007'. Wel, i'd say congrats to u all, and prepare hard 4 the post- UME.

thanks for the information

The fact remains even with such declaration from JAMB,most schools with not admit candidates who don't score 200 and above, the same thing happened last year,when the cut-off point was fixed at 160 by JAMB,yet schools didn't adhere to that.

Stop seeking ways of consoling urself bro!
if u dont score 200 and above forget it.

see dis 9moon, u dont even wish them well.

9star who the hell are u
Anyways Troy has gotten his admission so he aint consoling himself.

Okay o, I don hear una o, person wey scored 230 never sure of admission and una come dey talk 170. Well, it's good to be hopeful though and I would be the last person to write anyone off. Good luck.

we will all become the same in post ume exam hall, i can be even fortuned to pass post ume and who score 300 loose.

@9star I'm already admitted,so i have nothing to console myself about, but ill be praying for u. I'm just hoping that universities will adhere to jamb's agreement wit them. So i'm telling all jambites to please pray welllllllll.
@ uzzyan Thanks for replying 9star well.

just wish them well sha,because if ur score is high and u not considerin the low scorin guys, u fit come back com sit down for house another year wit ur 300.

Troy always.
GUys it is not by ur Ume score oh but by ur Pume score.
It is just prayers oh!!!!!!

But to be qualified for the post Ume is the first step. If the Schools were forced to cut below 200, more money for them. Will that make 5,000-intake capacity School take 8,000 new students? I know Uniben, Lasu, Unilag, Ui, UNN won't go below 200!JAMB aint going to run any University. People know where(FUT Mx,FUT Yola, Unijos, Unimaid, ATBU etc in the North though) to take their low scores to. Bye bye!

@ ferdii i'm glad u know that UNIBEN has high standards.

Troynow:

@ ferdii i'm glad u know that UNIBEN has high standards.

Yeah I know. But more on researches and less dependent on importation. Colleges should be turning out guys that can manufacture. Enough of these chinese products and services. Hey, I think we need Chinese guys on Energy. NEPA is dead like dodo.
