For candidates who wrote this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) here is good news.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) yesterday released the National Cut-off Mark for universities and other tertiary institutions.
The National Cut-off Mark for admissions into universities for 2012/2013 academic session is fixed at 180.
The Board set 160 as the National Cut-off Mark for admissions into Polytechnics, Colleges of Education (CoEs) and other diploma-awarding institutions.
The marks were decided in Abuja at the combined Policy Committee meeting on admissions to degree-awarding institutions, National Diploma (ND), Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) and National Innovation Diploma-awarding institutions.
Minister of Education Prof Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i, who chaired the meeting, urged the institutions to adhere strictly to admission guidelines, which stipulated a 70:30 ratio for Technology and Non-Technology for National Diploma programmes and 60:40 Science/Arts ratio for the universities and Colleges of Education.
She also told them to observe the admission criteria of merit, catchment area and educationally less developed states.
Prof. Rufa’i directed the National Universities Commission (NUC), JAMB and other accrediting bodies to decide on acceptable guidelines for the conduct of the post-UTME screening.
While commending JAMB for prompt release of the UTME results, the minister urged tertiary institutions to establish e-testing centres where the next UTME could be conducted.
According to her, the establishment of the centres, though optional, could subsequently be used as e-learning centres.
The Registrar and Chief Executive of JAMB, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, warned private universities against illegal admissions.
He said the Board observed that most private institutions “still do back-door admissions”.
”Students who accept such admissions do that at their peril, as the Board has stopped regularisation of students.
Ojerinde said most universities did not fill their admission quota in the last admission exercise.

Nigeria Education is moving from fire to fire .
ReplyDeleteIf you ask me why i m sayn this ?
Firstly ,how many Nigeria University is among
the best 400 university in the world .
Secondly , how many Nigeria Professor is rated among the best 100 in their respective field in the World .
Kindly check India and China education System . Not everybody is struggling to go to University like Nigeria .
However , there are technical school where you
can learn something with your hand and be a productive person in life .
Many Nigeria Graduate are working under Lebanese, China and India ( with no degree) but they can do something with their hand .
Kindly cross check many Local and international Company .Also , check record of Nigeria in Diaspora .
Reducing Cut-off mark below 50 % is not solution to our Education Standard .
Kindly tell our Leader to do something about Our Education Standard that is falling everyday.
NUC and the Minister should confirm if Federal University will agree and abide by this directive. Checking many Fed Universities's sites 24 hrs after the directive, they still have 200 as their cut off and refused to bring it to 180 as directed.. there should be full compliance. this is my opinion.
ReplyDeleteWell.If it will soon be reduced to 130.Who is reading today? Blackberry texing and parents sponsored cheating has taken over.Yet we expect our children to be the best.We have not seen anything yet.At the rate we are going,time will come when we have to go to Ghana and Cameroon for teachers to teach here in Nigeria. One cannot give what he does not have.Shikina.
ReplyDeletei just hope the nigeria federal unis will abby by it and reduce thier repectives cutt of mark
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with the 1st comment above,during my own time the cut-off point was 210 and we still considered ourselves 'lucky'; that was 1991. Anyway, government shd see this as a challenge; something drastic has to be done to our falling education standard. More attention shd be paid to teachers training and development.
