The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) have come out with a new cut off marks for prospective students of tertiary institutions.
JAMB has reduced the minimum cut off marks for admissions into universities in Nigeria to 120, polytechnics and colleges of education pegged at 100, while that of innovative enterprising institutes was pegged at 110.
This doesn’t change much though as schools are still quite free to raise their cut off marks if the on placed by the educational institution doesn’t work for them.
This, along with other decisions were reached at the 2017 Combined Policy Meetings on Admissions into Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria which ended on Tuesday.
