JAMB To Decide Cut-Off Mark For 2021/2022 Admission Aug 31

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has hinted it will decide on the cut-off marks for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria on August 31.

This was noted in its weekly news bulletin made available to the public by the Head, Public Relations and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin.

According to the bulletin, the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, has approved Tuesday, August 31, 2021, for the 2021 policy meeting.

The policy meeting which is always being chaired by the Minister of Education will have all heads of tertiary institutions as well as heads of regulatory agencies in the sector, and other critical stakeholders, such as chairmen of the committees on education at the lower and upper chambers of the National Assembly in attendance.

The bulletin read:  “This meeting kick-starts the admission process into the nation’s tertiary institutions.

“It will discuss critical issues emanating from the presentation of the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, on the just-concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, and Direct Entry applications, in addition to setting the tone for the 2021/2022 admission exercise.

“The meeting is expected to chart policy directions for the nation’s tertiary institutions, set admission guidelines and present application statistics, candidates’ performance as well as evaluate the 2020 admission exercise.

“The meeting, in addition to other deliberations, would take a stand on acceptable minimum admissions standards to be applied in all admissions to be undertaken by all tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

“Given the critical nature of the decisions to be taken at the meeting, it would be streamed live on the Board’s website, www.jamb.gov.ng, on its Facebook handle “@JAMBULLETIN” and other social media platforms.”

“The Board makes it clear that it is an abuse of process for any institution to commence any admission exercise before this meeting as it is this forum that gives this authorisation,” JAMB warned.
