JAMB Cut-off: A Disgrace To Nigeria by Nijablog: 11:23am On Aug 23, 2017 |
In the ending hours of yesterday 22nd of August
2017,students and concerned parent/
individuals were shock over the announcement of the
new cut- off marks
for the Joint admission and Matricution board
(JAMB),the examination body that conduct pre-
qualifying examinations in Nigeria for students aspiring
to gain admissions into the Universities and other
Nigeria tertiary institutions.
According to JAMB,the new cut-off marks are as follow:
120 for universities
100 for polytechnics and colleges of education
110 for innovative enterprise institute(IEI)
At this point,it is imperative to know that the total marks
obtainable in the examination is
400 points of which according to JAMB,over
500000 of the 1.7m candidates obtain
200 points and above.Going through social media,you
will see students complaining of this new development
as it entails very revealing uncertainties towards their
admission and according to one of such students
(name withheld),he wrote”Last year I scored
177 thereby hoping to go to the polytechnic but
unfortunately JAMB increase cut-
off mark for all institutions to
180 and this year,having scored
234,hoping for something good even if it is poly,now
JAMB is doing their foolish thing#Oh God,am I curse”.
NIJABLOG wants to use this medium to acknowledged
that this new development is a disgrace to Nigeria and a
shift from international best practices i.e it is generally
acceptable that until
50percent of obtainable points is scored in any test/
examination,such performance is
a failure.This mean that if international best practices
should be followed,200 should be the cut-
off point out of 400 which the former 180 cut-
off wasn’t up to but it was manageable but 120 out of
400 is no for cut-off point i.e it is now
30percent which is very poor and a setback for JAMB
with regards to one of it missions which is to ensure
only the serious students are admitted into universities
and other institutions.
Apart from the disgrace this new development has
brought to Nigeria, it also spells how our educational
sector is diminishing over time.It also spells how
competitive admission processes are going to be this
year,therefore students should prepare for the worst
despite their
score cause this development means almost every
aspirant who sat for the JAMB examination will be
eligible for screening since it is rare for students to
score below 120.
Nevertheless unconfirmed report shows the JAMB
registrar,Prof. Oloyede,a former vice-
chancellor retracing his actions according to
a statement he made to newsmen stating that
120 is not the cut-
off rather it is trying to demonstrate that universities
and other institutions have monopoly of choosing their
various cut-off but it shouldn’t be less than
120 for universities,
100 for polytechnics and colleges of education and
110 for innovative enterprise institute.

Guys, like seriously I totally disagree with all of you on this note...Everyone is busy criticizing the reduction of JAMB's cut-off mark while failing to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I must give thumbs up to jamb for this..it's a welcome development to our country now youths can easily go to school without the fear of "JAMB GO JAM ME" I mean look at other developed countries nothing like admission barrier "after high school college direct" why must Nigeria be different?? Jamb I salute una ,the registrar is working 3 Likes 1 Share |

timzyrhymes:You shouldn't have say all that,if there should be no admission barrier,why not just scrap jamb |

Y'all just don't understand the news. Schools are free to choose their own cut off mark, jamb just meant that they shouldn't go below the specified marks. |
Re: JAMB Cut-off: A Disgrace To Nigeria by timzyrhymes(m): 4:23pm On Aug 23, 2017 |
Daniel2802:I fully understand,I just wish those universities will follow suit I meant its a welcome development.. now our student won't be flying to Ghana,Benin or any African country because of the fear of "Gaining admission |

Rubbish. Any score below 50% of the total is complete nonsense for any ReaSon. If only one person passes then he should gain admission others should come back next year This is what happens when standards are compromised. We then get half baked graduates who don't know their left from right. After all they hold a certificate. Nairaland topic be like see corpers statement on the social media or see graduate's application letter. Let's call a spade a spade. If you support this then go learn a trade you shouldn't be educated. Nonsense Modified.. The dude above me is very funny. An examination body tells you not to admit anyone who scores below 25%. Does that make sense? The registrar or whoever came to this decision should be fired for incompetence. 1 Like |

This year's JAMB performance Is an indictment on WAEC . How can people who massively passed WAEC perform woefully in jamb.This goes a long way in proving the level of exam malpractice in waec. |
Re: JAMB Cut-off: A Disgrace To Nigeria by armadeo(m): 8:07am On Aug 24, 2017 |
Prefola: You still don't get it. 120 is too low for a national cut off. It's a disgrace for a body to declare as a cut off mark. |
Re: JAMB Cut-off: A Disgrace To Nigeria by armadeo(m): 8:22am On Aug 24, 2017 |
rollybest: As usual nothing constructive to say. You that is educated what is your take? While you are at it please correct my use of English... We learn everyday. |
