​The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has revealed how the cut off marks were fixed for higher institutions.

It said contrary to insinuations that it fixed the Tuesday’s tertiary institutions’ minimum admission cut-off marks, it was rather a collective decision of stakeholders in the education sector.

JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, spoke to reporters yesterday, insisting that stakeholders in the sector unanimously agreed that the minimum cut-off marks for the university degree for the 2017 academic year be put at 120, lower than the previous years, which stood at 180.

He allayed fears that the development might further lower Nigeria’s education standard.

He stated that besides the board recommending cut-off marks for universities, polytechnics and colleges of education as well as monotechnics, individual institutions could raise their admission benchmark higher but not above 180 and below 120 for universities.

He said, “With this decision, universities are not to go below the minimum 120 cut-off points adopted by the meeting for admissions.

“What JAMB did was a recommendation, we only determined the minimum, whatever the various institutions determine as their admission cut-off mark is their decisions.

“The Senate and academic boards of universities should be allowed to determine their cut-off marks.“

Nawah ooo! the cut of is meant to favor people like you that find it difficult to compose a straight forward sentence.

MaziOmenuko:
Bloody scammers! The only reason its that low is so that more people will be qualified to purchase the post-utme form and as such, more money goes into the coffers of the universities.

If the cut-off was high, the number of people eligible to write post-utme reduces so the money made by the institution reduces. At the end of the day, its only those that make 200+ in UME will gain admission.

Bloody scammers!

Oildichotomy:
If you believe this money tale, then you still naive somewhat. The money is actually secondary in my books

The only tenable reason why they will lower the scores is more quota-political than anything else.
Quote me anywhere

You see this word "HOPE" is as strong as ever
Tolu jamb score was as low as 145 because he couldn't meet up with the 180 minimum score for university even polytechnic


I told him when there is life there is hope
From 180 to as low as 120!
Now he is happy he didn't give up on "HOPE"

Nusooo:
What is percentage of 120/400? I think is 30%.
If a student scored 30 out of 100, I think is F9.
International community will be laughing at us.
Our stardard of education is crashing.

Nusooo:
Dibu Ojerinde, the educationist, first professor of test and measurement, your attention is needed to come n teach this arabic studies man(ishaq oloyede) the pedagogic aspect of test and measurement. FG, next time you want appoint people into office, appoint them in line with their area of specialization.

iswallker:
You didn't read the write up...

No university will give you and your friend admission with 145...

Haben1:
Oloyede is the Former VC of my school (Unilorin), he doesn't take sh*t from Nobody, so am amaze when seeing the Cut off mark, well, giving low scores privilege is a good idea

Nusooo:
Yes, he was a formal VC, first class in arabic studies, but i think he lack the rudiment of test and measurement

Haben1:
Are you suggesting he should increase the Cut-off mark?

RALPHOW:
What type of nonsense is this, it must be due to a part of the country.
God will help this country. Restructuring is the answer.
