A lot has been said about the decision of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to reduce the cut-off marks for admission into tertiary institutions, with all Universities fixing their own cut-off marks irrespective of what the examination body stated.
JAMB had on Tuesday, August 22, pegged the cut-off marks into admission into universities at 120, 100 for polytechnics out of an obtainable mark of 400.
The controversial move has drawn widespread criticisms from education experts who are of the opinion that it would further weaken the poor standard of education in the country.
The cut-off marks, decided by the Senate and management of each institution, have also been sent to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB.
As directed by the examination body, none of the universities have cut-off marks below 120, while none of the polytechnics and colleges of education have cut-off marks below 100.
