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, etc . ,” he explained .
He added that regulating agencies such
as the National Universities
Commission , National Board for
Technical Education, National
Commission for Colleges of Education,
among others, could decide the
admission quota for institutions .
He further explained that JAMB
introduced CAPS so as to ensure that
every UTME candidate gets 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 their admission.
He urged institutions to comply with
their advertised criteria for admission,
including the cut- off marks.
