CUT-OFF MARK: Misleading, a Misnomer – JAMB

He, therefore, said that the NTMUS of 140 for universities, 120 for Polytechnics and 100 for Colleges of Education arrived at by participants does not mean that an institution with RIAMUS of 200 must admit a candidate on the basis of NTMUS of 140; 120; 100 as the RIAMUS might be equal or higher than the NTMUS.

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has described the term, ‘cut-off mark’ as used in Nigeria, as misleading, and a misnomer, stressing that each tertiary institution sets its own Realistic Institutional Admittable Minimum UTME Scores (RIAMUS).

Prof. Oloyede gave this insight during the 2023 Policy Meeting on Admissions to tertiary institutions in Nigeria, held at Andrews Otutu Obaseki Auditorium, National Judicial Institute, Abuja, on Saturday, 24th June, 2023.

According to the Registrar, the term ‘cut-off mark’ is misleading as there is no unified national cut-off mark, rather what is obtainable is the Realistic Institutional Admittable Minimum UTME Scores (RIAMUS), which is the minimum score that the Senate/Academic Board of each institution has approved for the purpose of admission of its students.

Prof. Oloyede, however, stated that no institution can go below its own self-set RIAMUS and no other institution could use the RIAMUS of another for the purpose of its own admissions because the score is institution-specific.

Furthermore, the JAMB helmsman disclosed that UTME score does not single-handedly guarantee any candidate admissions to tertiary institutions in the country, as it is only one of the criteria among many others such as five credit passes in five relevant O’ level subjects, O’ level subjects grading, post-UTME score and 60:40 Science:Arts ratio, among other criteria as defined by the proprietors of the institutions.

In the same vein, the Registrar stated that the National Tolerable Minimum UTME Score (NTMUS) is the score below which no institution in the country will consider any candidate for admission. This, he said, is usually decided at the Policy Meeting not by individual institutions. He, therefore, said that the NTMUS of 140 for universities, 120 for Polytechnics and 100 for Colleges of Education arrived at by participants does not mean that an institution with RIAMUS of 200 must admit a candidate on the basis of NTMUS of 140; 120; 100 as the RIAMUS might be equal or higher than the NTMUS.

On the NTMUS for the 2023 Admission exercise, the Policy Meeting resolved on 140 as the minimum score for admissions into universities and 120 and 100 respectively for admissions into both Polytechnics and Colleges of Education nationwide.

The National Tolerable Minimum UTME Scores of 140 for universities, 120 for Polytechnics and 100 for Colleges of Education were arrived at at the 2023 Policy Meeting on Admissions to tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

JAMB Fixes 24th June 2023 Policy Meeting On Admissions

JAMB has fixed the 2023 Policy Meeting on Admissions for Saturday, 24th June, 2023. The event is scheduled to hold at the National Judicial Institute, Abuja.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has fixed the 2023 Policy Meeting on Admissions for Saturday, 24th June, 2023. The event is scheduled to hold at the National Judicial Institute, Abuja.

During the meeting, stakeholders will discuss critical issues emanating from the just-concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), sale of Direct Entry (DE) application documents in addition to setting the tone for the 2023/2024 Admission exercise in tertiary institutions.

The Policy Meeting will be chaired by the Hon. Minister of Education with all Heads of Tertiary Institutions in attendance along with such relevant regulatory bodies as the National Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), and the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE).

In an invitation sent to all Heads of Institutions, the Board states that only two representatives each from respective tertiary institutions comprising the Head of the Institution and one official of the institution, who shall be nominated by the Head, will be welcomed.

Other critical issues slated for discussion at the Policy Meeting aside issues emanating from the presentation of the Registrar, JAMB, on the just-concluded UTME, are other issues of national importance particularly as they concerned the education sector.

The meeting is also expected to chart policy directions for the nation’s tertiary institutions, set admission guidelines, present and analyse application statistics, and candidates’ performance, as well as evaluate the 2023 Admission exercise.

Furthermore, the Policy Meeting, among other things, would decide the acceptable minimum admissible score to be applied in all admissions to be undertaken by all tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

It would be recalled that in 2022, the meeting granted institutions the power to set their minimum allowable cut-off marks for admission, which they cannot go below once adopted and general concessions reached.

The Argument of JAMB Arbitrary Score has Expired – Oloyede

The Registrar stated this when he received a delegation from the Lagos State University of Education (LASUED) on Tuesday, 30th May, 2023, who had paid him a courtesy visit at his office in Bwari, Abuja.

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has taken stock of the conduct of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) over the course of the past couple of years and submitted that the purported allegations of award of arbitrary score in the Board’s examination are no longer tenable.

This is not unconnected with the deployment of relevant technology to protect the sanctity of its examination towards precluding any forms of infractions.

The Registrar, who was speaking against the backdrop of the daily updates on progress and status of all admissions being conducted nationwide by all the over 900 tertiary institutions as presented on the dashboard of the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), pointed out that from his office he could see, not only the performance of the candidates, but their screening scores as well. He stated that it was not on account of the correlation of the scores of the high scoring candidates in the UTME with the institutions’ own screening ratings that the validity of the UTME as conducted by JAMB becomes evident.

Furthermore, he stated that those institutions which want to retest the candidates through the conduct of post-UTME are doing so based on outdated perception of the poor validity of JAMB scores.

“I have never discouraged any university from conducting post-UTME because I know it would get to a point that the futility of such would be so clear.”

“It is better they make post-UTME screening rather than examination as the argument that JAMB awards arbitrary scores has expired and can no longer be sustained.”

“Hence, there is no need for institutions to subject candidates to another round of examinations.

Scores awarded by JAMB are not what they used to be,” he said.

Furthermore, the Registrar advised the universities against localising their intakes and urged them to ensure that their top 10 percent subscription have a global outlook to enhance quality, networking and community development.

Earlier, the Vice-Chancellor, LASUED, Prof. Bidemi Bilkis Lafiaji-Okuneye, said the university’s functionaries had come to the Board’s Headquarters for a familiarisation visit as well as seek closer ties with the Board.

The Vice Chancellor thanked the Board for its support to the institution, promising that the university would not take such support for granted.

Prof. Lafiaji-Okuneye, a Professor of Health Education, was formerly the Provost of Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED) before she was appointed Vice Chancellor, LASUED, when the College was upgraded last year to a full-fledged degree-awarding institution.

How to calculate Unilag aggregate score

University of Lagos calculates aggregate scores of applicants by weighting 20% to O-Level results, 50% to the UTME score, and 30% to the post UTME score.

How to calculate your total aggregate score for Unilag undergraduate admission

University of Lagos calculates aggregate scores of applicants by weighting 20% to O-Level results, 50% to the UTME score, and 30% to the post UTME score.

In this system of scoring: A1 = 4.0 points; B2 = 3.6 points; B3 = 3.2 points; C4 = 2.8 points; C5 = 2.4 points; C6 = 2.0 points. Grades must be obtained at ONE SITTING.

Following are the steps you should take to calculate your aggregate score:

Divide your UTME score by 8.
Use the form below to calculate your O-level aggregate score using only your 5 required subjects for the course you applied for.
Get your Post UTME score.
Add the component scores from steps 1 – 3 above and the score you get is your total aggregate score.

JAMB EXAM: Police nab two teachers, others as ‘miracle centre’ deal backfires

They were said to have influenced the enrollment of over 20 students in a “miracle centre” for JAMB examination after the duo allegedly collected huge sums of money running into thousands of naira from the students with the assurance that they will pass their examination with ease.

Detectives attached to Airport Police Division in Benin City, Edo State, have arrested two male teachers, four students, others in connection with Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination malpractice.

It was gathered that two of the suspects (teachers) at Salvation International Preparatory School located in Benin City, were arrested on the order of the president of the school, Evangelist (Mrs) Olaide Toyinbo following their alleged involvement in the examination racketeering.

But this was not to be after the examination results were released with the students’ abysmal failure thereby raising dust of the unexpected from the victims who demanded refund of their money.

Sources said that the suspects have been involved in examination malpractices long before the last straw that broke the camel’s back especially with JAMB, WAEC and NECO exams against the policies of the school that had been in existence over 25 years ago.

Confirming the arrest of the suspects, the Police Public Relations Officer at the Edo State Police Command, SP Chidi Nwanbuzor, said that the suspects confessed to the crime, adding that they will be charged to court on completion of investigation as they were detained and subsequently granted bail for further investigation.

Speaking to Journalists, the president of the school, Evangelist Mrs Olaide Toyinbo said: “I traveled to America when my son’s wife delivered a baby when the Director of the School, Pastor Femi Toyinbo called me. I raced to Nigeria and ordered the arrest of the teachers when I called in the police.

“The police arrested some of the students because I don’t do malpractices in my school and outside. The teachers are criminals and they will suffer for their evil activities”.
