What is JAMB cut-off mark all about?
The policy meeting on admissions sets the tone for the admission exercise and formulation of admission guidelines in any academic year.
It also presents application statistics, candidates’ performance evaluations, and setting the acceptable minimum admission standards for all tertiary institutions across Nigeria for the given year.
According to JAMB, the critical stakeholders expected at the meeting are heads of regulatory agencies such as the National Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), National Council for Colleges of Education (NCCE), Heads of tertiary institutions in the country, and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), among others.
This is coming days after the examination board concluded its Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) exercise for rescheduled candidates.
JAMB has also released withheld results in the 2024 UTME exams, adding that the results were earlier withheld for further investigation.
The board has also completed its direct entry(DE) exercise for admission seekers who want to cross to universities from polytechnics.
