ABUJA-THE Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board,JAMB,is expected to
release cut-off points for this year’s admission
into universities,polytechnics,colleges of
education and monotechnics today.
The release of the country’s tertiary
institutions’ admission benchmark would be a
fallout of a policy committee meeting the
board is holding with all stakeholders in the
education sector on the said day.
The policy committee meeting which is
holding in Abuja, would be attended by vice-
chancellors, reactors and provosts of public
universities, polytechnics, colleges of
education and monotechnics.
The release of the cut-off marks would end
the anxiety that has since enveloped
candidates who sat for the Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination,UTME, in
preparation for admission this year.
Similarly, the release of the marks signals the
express permission to the eligible tertiary
institutions to begin the year’s admission of
would-be students.
Ahead of the admission, JAMB had warned
institutions against shortchanging candidates
whose performances merit admission, saying it
would not condone such act.

“The board will ensure that criterion set by
Senate are strictly adhered to by the
institutions’ admission officers and no shifting
of goal post in the middle of the admission
exercise,”JAMB had warned in a recent
statement signed by its Head of Media, Dr
Fabian Benjamin.
The statement said its warning was to
“guarantee fairness and equity to all
candidates.”
“The board has sent to all institutions a soft
copy of printout of candidates who choose
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 statement
had said.
