Its all about money!
Let me give an example. UNILORIN has a total admission capacity of about 6000 candidates. At least 2500 must come from their remedial program. Leaving like 3500 for UME and DE.

Over 120,000 are shortlisted for a space reserved for 3500 candidates. If each pay N10,000 for the post Jamb exam, we are talking of over N1,200,000,000 revenue over a period of two weeks of exam.

Now, imagine what will happen with a cutoff of 120.

Its all a SCAM!

Even the jamb registrar's children don't even attend Nigeria universities...these ppl are hell bent on destroying educational standards for poor man to rise out of obscurity.

It's a simple theory..
The children of the rich that suppose to naturally struggle to have 180 as cut off mark to gain admission will now need just 120 or 100 to gain admission with or without post utme due to father's connection. They will scale through their studies, still through with father's connection. They will gainfully be employed into very sensitive and technical position that need highly intelligent and technocrats to fill, still due to father's connection which as a result will leave the country in a state of stagnant positon like Ajaokuta.
Society is a model which need a plan to built..
Future of any society is based on onset plan...
It's good to come out and say no to some of those things because that is the society our children and next generation would come to inherit and live in..
But Nigerian youths are E-Warriors that is left with daily struggle of table to mouth in physical life.

I have read through the conversation and i wouldnt want to believe in any of the theories. I urge people not to be sentimental but rather base their point on sincere analysis.
We are to note that STAKEHOLDERS not JAMB fix the cut off marks.
Lets look at UTME2017 statistics:
*over 1.7million candidates registered for the exam
*1.6million applied for degree
*17000 applied for ND,NCE nd others
Now, Lets look at the performance
* ONE-THIRD of the candidates who registered for UTME2017 scored 200 or above while a total of over ONE MILLION had below 200. So, what do u expect of the cut off? sincerity is needed here nt sentiment.

Now,to universities decision.
even if all universities decided to adopt 120,it wil nt affect candidates that performed well.
assume a candidate with 120 in utme got 300(assumed) in OAU post utme,he will have an aggregate of 210. will that fit in for any professional course?

To me, our argument should be feasible. we shouldnt critize a 'motor' that is yet to be manufactured

CLARIFICATION ON THE NATIONAL CUT OFF MARKS FIXED BY JAMB​

​It's necessary for us to make clarification on the toppling issues of the national cut off points fixed by JAMB, Prof Oloyede said that the minimum cut off mark and that Universities are at liberty to fix their own cut off point​

​Taking for instance, University like UNILORIN can decide to use its usual 180, UNILAG will always use its usual 200, OAU and UI will not fail to make use of 200 as their minimum cut off points too​.

​The minimum cut off mark to be used by UNILORIN as said in the just concluded Jamb Admission Policy meeting is 180, though the varsity will still fix its departmental cut off points which may ranges between 180-240​


What jamb implied is that schools can increase their cut off mark to as high as 200.those complaining of the cut off mark should have it mind that if Jamb increase it to 300, many of you will wail so it was the best decision they took. Op you didn't state were jamb said candidates of post utme can now change choice of university up till January 2018.

But will Bayero university or Usman Dan fodio university use 180 as cut off mark? I don't think so, I find it hard to believe that in trying to be politically correct, people are not seeing the glaring motive behind this sudden lowering of the bar, and the consequent implications!

Op,it is testament to the current state of the country. It shows just how much we now celebrate and reward mediocrity. My greatest fear though,we just might wake some day to see the cut-off mark hovering somewhere around 10 marks or there about like a helicopter with a faulty engine. I mean come to think of it: from 180 down to 120? What a massive plunge that is. NOTHING can explain this away at all.
It's so surprising bro...

Pegging the university cutoff at 120 doesn't mean universities like Unilorin ,oau will admit someone with jamb score of 140 150 130 ,it may just bring money via the post jamb cus someone with jambscore of 122 will want to try his or her luck out .It is just to warn the private universities that admit just any being with any jamb score ,my friend didn't do jamb before he was admitted into adeleke university.
And secondly it doesn't mean the educational standard has reduced ,I don't think someone with 220 230 can still b admitted in to federal universities to study MBBS ,its a matter of choice for universities to put their cutoffs anywhere based on the number of cabditates and space available.
Yea, its True, but the Money is all what they need and not the Number of PUTME participants
