JUST IN: JAMB Announces Date To Fix 2024/2025 Admission Cut-Off Marks
According to recent report, The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has scheduled the Policy Meeting on Admissions into tertiary institutions in Nigeria for Friday, July 18, 2024.
The meeting, to be presided over by the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, will establish the minimum cut-off marks for the upcoming 2024/2025 admission cycle.
According to JAMB’s weekly bulletin shared with journalists on Monday by the Board Spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the policy meeting plays a crucial role in setting the groundwork for the admission process for the academic year.
It involves formulating admission guidelines, analyzing application statistics, evaluating candidates’ performance, and determining the minimum admission standards acceptable for all tertiary institutions in Nigeria for the particular year.
Key stakeholders expected to participate in the meeting include heads of regulatory agencies such as the National Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), National Council for Colleges of Education (NCCE), as well as leaders of tertiary institutions in the country and representatives from the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), among others.
The statement added; “During the exercise, the Registrar will present reports on the just-concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and the ongoing Direct Entry (DE) applications while also analysing key performance indicators that could shape the policy directions of the government.
“Also, the meeting would apprise stakeholders of the salient issues that cropped up in the course of the previous year’s admission exercise. In addition, the policy meeting would look at the performance of candidates in the current year’s UTME in order to determine the year’s minimum admissible score.
“It would be recalled that stakeholders had in the previous year agreed on the minimum admission requirement for admission into universities, polytechnics and colleges of education.
“Furthermore, the meeting would determine the year’s admission requirements while kick-starting the admission process for the current year; discuss unresolved issues emanating from the previous academic year; and, at the same time, appraise the compliance of stakeholders with extant advisories and suggesting further amendments where necessary.”
