The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has made
it clear that some universities will not offer admission to candidates that
score less than 200.
They include: University of Lagos, University of Ibadan,
Covenant University, Obafemi Awolowo University and University of Benin.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by JAMB’s
spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Monday in Abuja.
Fabian also listed higher institutions that will not admit
candidates that scored less than 180 in its Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) this year.
“For the 2020 admission exercise, for example, no candidate
with a UTME score of 209 can be considered for admission into any programme at
PAU whose minimum UTME score is 210.
“Also, no candidate with a UTME score of 199 can be admitted
into any of the following universities whose minimum score is 200: OAU, UI, CU,
UNILAG and UNIBEN.
“No candidate with a score less than 180 can be admitted
into many of the universities including Lagos State University (190); Afe
Babalola University (180), Nigerian Army University, Biu (180); University of
Jos (180), University of Abuja (180), Redeemers University (180), University of
Ilorin (180), Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (180), Bayero University Kano
(180), Alex Ekwueme University (180) and PAMO University of Medical Sciences,
Port Harcourt (180),” Fabian said.
He also warned that high scores in UTME might not be enough
to secure admissions.
According to Fabian, institutions were at liberty to decide
their own cut-off points, based on certain conditions approved by JAMB.
Other parameters such as Post-UTME/post-A/L qualifications
screening/test score; O/L grade score, etc will be used.
The statement added that the quota system and catchment area
are also considered during the admission process.
