The Joint Admissions and matriculation board of Nigeria with Vice chancellors, and Rectors of Universities and Polytechnics in the country, unanimously agreed in a meeting held on Tuesday in Abuja for a general cut off mark of 120 for Universities and 100 for Polytechnics in the country for the 2017/2018 admissions.

The Registrar of JAMB professor Isaq Oloyede cautioned that Universities should not go below the cut off mark of 120.

"All we have done is to determine the lowest cut off for admissions into higher institutions, what ever score you adopt is not below the score adopted in this meeting for admission into your various institutions is the decision of the school" He said.

He also called for schools to be flexible in their adoption of cut off marks for admissions.

He stated that the senate and school board should be given opportunity to choose their cut off mark.

He said "30 percent of those in higher institution do not write jamb or falls below the cut off mark. The admission process is now automated for the registrar to approve admissions"

Recall that earlier this month, the minister of education has also approved for high institutions to hold their Post UME  Read more .
