JAMB SCRAPS UNIFORM CUT-OFF MARKS
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has pegged the fee for post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (post-UTME) at N2,000.
It also adopted the minimum cut-off marks for 2021/2022 admissions sent by heads of tertiary institutions across the country.
According to the new arrangement, universities are not allowed to go below 120, while polytechnics and colleges of education pegged their minimum cut-off points for admission at 100.
The adoption signifies that there will be no uniform cut-off marks for 2021/2022 admissions, as was done in the past.
Every institution is expected to maintain its minimum score during the admissions.
These are some of the decisions taken at Tuesday’s 2021 policy meeting held virtually and chaired by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, at the headquarters of JAMB in Bwari, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

At yesterday’s policy meeting, stakeholders resolved to allow the Federal Ministry of Education to decide on the deadline for closure of 2022 admissions as they could not agree on the December 31, 2021 deadline for all public institutions and January 31, 2022 for all private institutions
