The Joint Admission and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) has schedule to hold the policy
committee meeting on August 21st and 22nd,
2017 respectively.

This will determine cut of marks for

The Minister of Education, Adamu

the policy committee meeting on
2017 admission.

It said the meeting will kick start the
2017 admission exercise.

The policy committee will announce the
cut off marks for all Nigerian Tertiary
institutions at the end of the meeting.

“All stakeholders including vice-
chancellors of universities, rectors of
polytechnics and mono-technics and
provosts of colleges of education would
be in attendance,” the statement said.

JAMB disclosed that it has sent to all
institutions a soft copy of printout of
candidates who chose them.

“This year, the Board has sent
candidates who scored 100 and above in their
JAMB to the institutions in its
flexible admission policy for institutions to
determine the suitability of the candidates in
compliance with all laid down rules and
regulations as
determined by the proprietors of the
institutions and approved by Senate of
the various schools.

“The Board will ensure that criteria set
by Senate are strictly adhered to by the
institutions’ admission officers and no
shifting of goal posts in the middle of the
admission exercise.

“This is to guarantee fairness and equity
to all candidates.”
