Stakeholders in the education sector have set the minimum benchmark score for admission into universities at 140.
This decision was made at the ongoing policy meeting held on Thursday in Abuja.
The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, clarified that the benchmark score is not a uniform cut-off mark for all universities, but represents the lowest score that any university can consider for admissions.
“JAMB does not set cut-off marks. What we have is a minimum benchmark score that any university cannot go below. Different universities have their benchmark scores,” Oloyede stated.
Daily Post reports that various institutions had submitted their minimum benchmark scores to JAMB.
Among these, Pan-Atlantic University in Lagos, Covenant University in Ogun State, Obafemi Awolowo University in Osun State, and the University of Lagos were the only universities that recommended a minimum score of 200 and above.
Oloyede also cautioned Nigerians against misinformation regarding JAMB’s role in setting cut-off marks, stating the distinction between the minimum benchmark and individual university cut-off marks.
