This is an indication of dwindling educational standard, in those days the minimum acceptable cut off point was 200, no wonder, the sprawling of mushrooms universities everywhere. The bodies regulating the university curriculum and entry point have been compromised.

Will these affect universities? Yes?lecturers yes??This is where ASUU should be seen acting. .

Y nor just make it free

Ok

Lordneez:
Why do they keep dropping the cut off mark�

SIMPLE. TO TAKE MORE CANDIDATES MONEY FOR POST UTME.

CORRUPTION OF THE HIGHEST ORDER

i trust niqerian hiqher institutions,dem no qo use am!

YipadaGadgets1:
This would bring huge relief to students, I could remember it was the reduction from 200 to 180 that made it possible for me to get admitted bc in 2013.


But this begs for concern, isn't our education system getting worse

So you're a product of lowered standards right?

so a private polytechnic will accept 110.......that is 110/400 ....are we going forward or backward.....

Nonsense from Jamb

When a Northern is in power, his evidence is felt in his community.
That is the reason I dislike OBJ & GEJ.
Once a northern is able to get one room in any community, he empowers his colleagues before you
know it they will claim a settlement and build a formidable empire in that environment.

Northern are smart, forget sentiment.
We keep insulting them but they continue to be on the receiving end of every benefit.

Pure and simple truth. Southerners, look at them as mumu.the mumu is always in control..now who is the real mumu ?

from 250 to 200 to 180 and now 160...this shows that Nigerian millennials and centennials are getting dull...and u expect Nigeria to develop with such brains.i pity nigeria future

even when jamb us allowing the use of calculators,they are supposed to increase cut off marks not decreasing.gone are the days where 260 wasntt enough to get into medicine or engineering and calculator wasn't allowed.JAMB was supposed to be our own version of GRE


no wonder Nigerians are now running away from writing GRE and other IQ exams

Examination is not a true test of knowledge

Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, 2019 JAMB Official Cut-off Marks For Institutions [Cut-off Mark For Universities, COE, Polytechnics, And Monotechnics] Has Been Announced - See JAMB Cut Off Marks For Admission 2019/2020.


Minimum cut-off marks for tertiary institutions are: JAMB Official Cut-off Marks For Institutions:

The 19th Policy Meeting on Admissions to Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria has approved 160 and above as the national minimum benchmark for admission for the year 2019 into public universities.

The meeting held at Bola Babalakin Auditorium, Gbongan, Osun State, on Tuesday also approved 140 as minimum UTME score for admission into private universities.For public polytechnic, 120 UTME score was approved, while 110 score was approved as the least score for admission into private polytechnic.

Recall that ngschoolz.net previously reported that the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (post-UTME) conducted for candidates seeking admission into higher institution was scrapped by the Federal Government. The Federal Government explained that all tertiary institutions were at liberty to conduct screening for candidates seeking admission into any school.

Now students won't have to read to hard to pass their exams..,what a shame. That's the height of mediocrity.

...

Education is gradually becoming a joke in Nigeria.

Places like China and Japan don’t do interview,how come they are still ahead of us in terms of development.

tayebest:
Rubbish!

it won't work. We've heard many from the past, infact there was a time jamb dare to peg cutoff mark to 120 for university, even private universities rejected the shiit. If this is what oloyede wants to reduce our admission status to, then let him use the exit door.


Many universities are still suffering about the blunder he made on scrapping PUTME in 2016. Many reason why those U16 head just dull anyhow since they were not screen before admission!

mybestlove:
Good. Everybody wants to get a degree even though the jobs are not there after.

We need to revisit our school system and curriculum to fit our system and not adopting everything from the West.

Who enters a vocational training at the same time with these jambites will be a better person than them after the university course duration
