JAMB adopts 140 cut-off marks for Universities and other institutions of higher learning, as Only 378,639 scored above 200 out of over 1.7 million candidates.

JAMB’s registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, who

announced the cut-off after thorough debates

and votes by vice-chancellors of universities,

rectors of polytechnics, and provosts of colleges

of education, said the implication is that every

institution has the right to fix its own cut-off

mark even up to 220 but no one would be

allowed to go less than the agreed minimum

marks of 100 for colleges of education, 100 for

polytechnics and 140 for universities.

The JAMB registrar revealed that only 378,639
of the 1,761,338 who wrote the 2022 Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME)
scored 200 and above.
While giving further statistics of the 2022
examination, Oloyede noted that 378,639 scored
above 200; a total of 520,596 candidates scored
190 and above; 704,991 scored 180 and above;
934,103 scored 170 and above; 1,192, 057
scored 160 and above.
Speaking further, Oloyede noted that the board
allowed candidates with awaiting results to
register for the 2022 UTME.
“JAMB allowed awaiting results candidates to
register and sit for the 2022 UTME. These
candidates can’t be considered for admission
on awaiting result status. They must present
their O’level results on the board’s portal
before the commencement of admissions,”
Oloyede said.
On his part, the Minister of Education, Adamu
Adamu said, urged all institutions to adhere
strictly to all admission regulatios prescribed
by the regulatory bodies such as the National
Universities Commission (NUC), National Board
for Technical Education (NBTE) and the
National Commission for Colleges of Education
(NCCE), “particularly with regards to approved
quotas, ratios and other specifications meant
for improved quality, accountability and
equity.
“During the 2021 Policy Meeting, I advised
tertiary institutions to adopt a more flexible
posture in the admissions process provided all
actions are in compliance with the guidelines.
One size fits all is injurious, hence, the
statutory stipulations that in the exercise of its
functions, JAMB should not obliterate the
peculiarities and unique features of each of the
Institutions.
According to him, “In 2017, we introduced the
Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) to
eradicate the primeval activities around
admission procedures towards nuzzling
transparencies and accountabilities on
admissions. It was on this note that it was
mandated that all admissions to tertiary
institutions in Nigeria must be carried out on
the CAPS.
“This implies that all applications for regular
and non-regular admissions to tertiary
institutions must be routed through the Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board in
conformity with its enabling law. I am aware
that JAMB issues specific Advisories to guide
different aspects of the process. I therefore
urge every Institution to comply with those
advisories in the interest of the sector.
“By the last policy meeting, I had approved that
all illegitimate admissions from 2017 to 2020 be
condoned provided such candidates met the
minimum entry qualifications in their various
courses of study.
“I am aware that the process led the affected
institutions to declare about one million
illegitimate admissions for the periods.
“As soon as the process is completed, necessary
measures would be put in place to track and
sanction all culpable Heads of Institutions
irrespective of whether they are or not still in
office. I have directed a close watch on the
2021 and 2022 exercises with a view to
identifying any violator for stricter punishment.
I must reiterate my stance that no violator
would go unpunished even after he or she must
have completed the tenure of office.”

Just to accommodate some BH members

Standard of education has hit it's lowest in Buhari's government. But it's no brainer since the people preferred NEPA bill to a school certificate.

Thank Goodness,

If you score below 250/400 in my days, just go buy another JAMB form. All Engineering courses were above 260 in most top Federal Universities.
