JAMB TO REDUCE 180 CUT-OFF MARK FOR ADMISSION

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) may reduce the 180 cut-off mark for admission because some institutions were finding it hard to implement the cut-off mark.

According to JAMB Registrar, IshaqOloyede “it was in a meeting of the Board of higher institutions and other Stakeholders that a decision of 180 as the 2016 National cut-off mark was reached”.

He continued that,  “however, many Institutions, though part of the decision, have expressed concern on their inability to effect this cut-offmark as they are finding it difficult to fill a reasonable percentage of their quota if the rule is strictly applied as we insist.

However, he noted that the new flexible cut-off will only be applicable to institutions that have exhausted the list of candidates that scored the 180 cut-off mark.
