Students who have been waiting for the 2020 admission exercise to commence are also eager to know what would be the criteria and how schools will be picking candidates for the 2020 Admission exercise.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has now given further explanations on how tertiary institutions across the country will conduct this year’s admission exercise.

JAMB contradict the rumors which states that 160 is the fixed cut off mark for Universities Admission. Nothing of such was concluded, as the board only said that to ensure that a university can decide to chose their cut of mark to be 160 which is the minimum cut off mark. This cut off mark was not generalized for universities.

However, throwing more light, Dr. Fabian Benjamey, the JAMB spokesman noted that the figures agreed in the policy meeting will be made uniform for this year admission exercise. It is optional. He stated further in a meeting at Abuja that "No uniform UTME minimum score for admission".

For a long period of time now, many candidates and some members of the general public have come under an erroneous impression that the board had given instructions which must be followed by all institutions. The truth is, there's no one cut off mark. Utme score is not the true determinant of your admission.

What would be considered?

Benjamin, the JAMB spokesman stated that; “For the 2020 admission exercise, for example, no candidate with a UTME score of 209 can be considered for admission into any programme at PAU whose minimum UTME score is 210.

He further stated that “No candidate would be considered admission into any of these Schools without a minimum of 200 in their UTME examination: Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), University of Ibadan (UI), University of Lagos (UNILAG), University of Benin (UNIBEN) and CU.

And no candidates without a minimum of 180 would be considered admission into these institutions: Lagos State University (190); Afe Babalola University (180), Nigerian Army University, Biu (180); University of Jos (180), University of Abuja (180), Redeemers University (180), University of Ilorin (180), Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (180), Bayero University Kano (180), Alex Ekwueme University (180) and PAMO University of Medical Sciences, Port Harcourt (180).
