UTME: JAMB & Their Stakeholders Will Meet On June 2nd To Fix Cut-Off Marks

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has concluded all
processes to kick-start the 2016 admission exercise.


The organisation will on June 2 hold its policy meeting and fix
cut-off points for all courses. The decision was sequel to the
successful completion of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME).

The policy meeting which is to set the tone for the exercise is
presided by the Honourable Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu.

The spokesperson of JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin in a statement issued on
Monday in Abuja said Adamu will at the meeting underscore the
importance and relevance of this decision-makers on admission into
tertiary institutions and issues bordering on the general well-being
of the system are discussed and decisions taken.

He said, "This year meeting is scheduled to hold in June 2. Nationally
accepted cut-off marks would be decided and issued Federal Government
guidelines and regulations would be articulated and decision taken
even as it x-rays the performance of subsequent years to put checks
and balances.

"The very important meeting has policy makers, the Heads of all
tertiary institutions, the Vice-Chancellors, Rectors, Provost,
Registrars and relevant stakeholders like the National Universities
Commission (NUC), National Youth Service Corps and others in
attendance.

"The Honorable Minister places much important on this assembly and has
categorically made it clear that he won't tolerate a situation where
decision reached would be flagrantly disobeyed or not adhered to
strictly.

"Some of this decision borders on admissions deadlines and quota
system which some institutions has failed to comply with and other
sharp practices capable of undermining the entire admission process.

"JAMB commends the Honorable Minister for his effort at sanitizing the
sector and ensuring that the lost glory of education are returned and
restored, while noting that these efforts would no doubt manifest
great results in no distance time.

"JAMB wishes to use this medium to urge the public to follow this
process keenly and also note that cut-off points in particular are as
usual a minimum score pruning mechanisms and institutions are at
liberty to go higher depending on their peculiarities.

"JAMB also commends the Honorable Minister for his efforts so far in
ensuring that the lost glory of education are returned.

"The Minister's insistence on due process and support for the
transformation in the Board and the entire educational system will no
doubt manifest great results in no distance time."
