JAMB: UTME Score No Guarantee For Admission Into University, Polytechnic by Nobody: 2:37pm On Sep 21, 2017 |
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says that only a combination of JAMB cut-off marks, post-UTME, O’ level results and other admission criteria as determined by institutions can ensure candidates’ admission. Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the JAMB registrar, disclosed this at an intensive Training and Sensitisation Forum on Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) for the 2017/2018 academic session on Thursday in Abuja. Oloyede said that scoring higher than the minimum cut-off marks did not guarantee admission but made candidates eligible for admission consideration. He added that institutions determined the institutional, programme and course cut-off marks and other admission criteria in exercise of their autonomy. According to him, the cut-off mark by JAMB is only a threshold below which no institution can admit candidates. “JAMB is not an examination body rather it is a ranking body. If there are enough spaces in the tertiary institutions there may not be need for UTME. “JAMB is a screening body to rank already qualified candidates. It is a coordinating and clearing house. “The cut-off mark is not a pass or fail mark. It is not the total score but one of many factors such as post-UTME (where applicable), O’ Level results scoring, e.t.c.,” he explained. He added that regulating agencies such as the National Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), among others could decide the admission quota for institutions. He further explained that JAMB introduced CAPS so as to ensure that every UTME candidate got fair treatment. Oloyede said with CAPS, candidates now have the choice to either accept or reject admission offer. He, however, advised candidates to ensure that they indicate the acceptance or rejection of admission online and timely to enable the processing of onward admission. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/jamb-utme-score-no-guarantee-for-admission-into-university-polytechnic/215329.html |
