Official: JAMB Announces 2017

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set the
the minimum cut-off mark for admissions into universities at 120.
This followed the conclusion of the combined policy meeting which
had Vice Chancellors, Rectors and Provosts of higher institutions
as well as other stake holders in attendance.
The minimum cut off marks for polytechnics and colleges of
education was set at 100 while that of innovative enterprising
institutes was set at 110.
It was also decided at the meeting that admission into first choice
universities should close on October 15 while December 15, 2017
was set as the closing date for second choice admission by
institutions.
Also, admissions into public degree awarding institutions for the
2017 UTME examination will end on January 15, 2018 while for
private institutions, it ends on January 31, 2018.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede said institutions, with the
decision, are not to go below the minimum cut-off points adopted
at the meeting for admissions.
He called for the adoption of flexible cut-off marks for admission
processes by higher institutions in the country.
According to him, “What JAMB has done is to recommend; We will
only determine the minimum, whatever you determine as your
admission cut-off mark is your decision.
“The Senate and academic boards of universities should be allowed
to determine their cut-off marks.”He said.
“The admission process is now automated with direct involvement
of the registrar of JAMB for final approval.
“We have agreed to regularize admissions that were done under
the table this year. From next year we will not accept anything like
that.”
On the other hand, the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu stated
that the cancellation on post-UTME was a mistake and said
institutions are now at liberty to conduct, while adding that fee for
the examination should not exceed N2000.
