Varsities, Polytechnics Get Cut-off Marks In June — JAMB by stoicguy(m): 7:29am On Mar 31, 2016
THE Joint Admission and Matriculation Board,
JAMB, has disclosed that the cut-off marks for
universities and polytechnics will be made public
in June, 2016.



.
.
.

Its Public Relations Officer, Dr Fabian Benjamin in
a telephone conversation with Vanguard said:
“JAMB will officially publish the 2016 Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), cut-
off marks for universities and polytechnics in
June.”
He urged candidates of the 2016 UTME to ignore
the cut-off marks from some websites and social
media, stating that those cut-off marks were just
the imagination of people.
You would recall that many websites over the
past weeks had published that JAMB’s cut-off
marks for university and polytechnic are 180 and
150 respectively.
Candidates seeking admission
Having gone through the rigour of UTME
examinations in the past weeks, candidates
seeking admission in universities, polytechnics
and colleges of education are expecting JAMB
cut-off marks which will give candidates next line
of action.
For any student to participate in post-UTME of
the institutions of first and second choice, such
candidate must beat JAMB 2016 cut-off mark,
institution's of first choice cut-off mark, and
departmental cut-off mark. To JAMB, the cut-off
point for university and polytechnics are
determined every year by the candidates’ over all
performance. Apart from JAMB setting entrance
cut-off points for university and polytechnic
applicants, each institution, also has its cut-off
point for students seeking admission in the
school.
In most cases, even when a student meets the
cut-off mark of the institution, admission is not
guaranteed if he does not meet the cut-off mark
of the chosen course. Vanguard investigation
revealed that all these measures were put in
place by universities to reduce the numbers of
students seeking admission, especially where
many students make the institution their first
choice. Thus, most times, when JAMB gives cut-
off mark as 160 or 180 to universities,
universities like the University of Lagos (UNILAG),
University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), University of
Benin (UNIBEN), University of Ibadan (UI),
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), University of
Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) and Federal University of
Technology, Akure (FUTA) and others, give their
institution’s cut-off marks. Such cut-off marks
are usually higher than the JAMB cut-off marks.
Besides, students aspiring to study courses like
Medicine, Engineering, Law and Mass
Communication in many universities, attract
higher university and departmental cut-off marks.
For some Nigerian polytechnics, if JAMB fixes its
cut-off mark at 150, institutions like Kwara State
Polytechnic and Lagos State Polytechnic insist on
180 as cut-off points. The knowledge of the
aforementioned will assist candidates to change
institutions and courses of study before it’s too
late.
Certificate of Recognition
Meanwhile,the Executive Secretary, National
Universities Commission had disclosed that 1.1
million students seeking admission into Nigerian
universities will have their hope dashed, as only
400,000 out of the 1.5 million candidates that sat
for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
in 2016 will gain admission.
Okojie who spoke recently in Abuja while handing
over the Certificate of Recognition for the new
Edo State University, Iyanmo to Governor Adams
Oshiomhole, solicits for more universities in
Nigeria.
He said: “I am always happy when a new
university comes on board; what that means is
that we are expanding and we are opening up
access.’’
He admitted that the number of candidates that
sit for UTME organised by JAMB every year
outnumbered the available spaces in Nigerian
universities.
He said that the new universities were needed to
boost access to higher education while making
sure that quality was not compromised.

late.
Certificate of Recognition
Meanwhile,the Executive Secretary, National
Universities Commission had disclosed that 1.1
million students seeking admission into Nigerian
universities will have their hope dashed, as only
400,000 out of the 1.5 million candidates that sat
for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
in 2016 will gain admission.
Okojie who spoke recently in Abuja while handing
over the Certificate of Recognition for the new
Edo State University, Iyanmo to Governor Adams
Oshiomhole, solicits for more universities in
Nigeria.
He said: “I am always happy when a new
university comes on board; what that means is
that we are expanding and we are opening up
access.’’
He admitted that the number of candidates that
sit for UTME organised by JAMB every year
outnumbered the available spaces in Nigerian
universities.
He said that the new universities were needed to
boost access to higher education while making
sure that quality was not compromised.
