The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), during its policy meeting held on July 21, pegged the minimum cut-off score for admission into the country’s universities at 140 for the 2022/2023 academic session.

Two years back, it had approved 160 as a cut-off mark for 2020/2021 university admissions.

The trend of the cut-off marks over the years, dropping in the case of universities to 140, of the total 400 marks, has elicited mixed reactions. Prof. Ibrahim Bakare, Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities, Lagos State University, Ojo , believes the recent JAMB cut-off is a reflection of the performance of the candidates.

“More funds need to be allocated in real terms to the education sector, without delay, and the welfare of teachers should also be improved if the performance of students is to be enhanced,” he said. “Note that students securing admission into any university must have a combination of secondary school certificate examinations result, JAMB score, and the particular university internally conducted examination.

Agada lauded one of his students that participated in the examination and came out with a total score of 355. “Also, maybe laziness on the part of the candidates, for which they didn’t study well for the examination, could also be a factor.
