The Federal Government Thursday scrapped the conduct of post Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) for candidates seeking
admission into higher institution.
The government explained that all tertiary institutions were at liberty
to conduct screening for candidates seeking admission into any school.
Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, said this on Thursday in
Abuja after declaring open the 2016 Combined Policy Meeting on
Admissions to Universities, Polytechnics and other higher institutions
in Nigeria.
Adamu, expressed confidence in the examination conducted by the Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), adding that there was no need
for other examination to be conducted by universities after JAMB.
He said: “As far as I am concerned the nation has confidence in what
JAMB is doing. The universities should not be holding another
examination and if the universities have any complain against JAMB let
them bring it and then we address it.
“If JAMB is qualified enough to conduct tests and they have conducted
test then there will be no need to conduct another test for students to
gain admission.”
The Minister also asked the JAMB to stop extra charges on several
categories of changes on admissions such as the change of course, change
of school and others.
Meanwhile, the JAMB has pegged the cut – off mark for admission for 2016 at 180.
The 180 benchmark, applies to all universities and higher institutions
in the country, including polytechnics, colleges of education, and
others.
JAMB’s Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, after
a long debate with delegates from various institutions, told
journalists that no institution would go below the 180 cut-off set by
the board.
He said: “180 is given, no institution will go below 180 this year, And
some universities can go above it, I know University of Ife will not go
below 200 and University of Lagos will not go below 200 and also UI. All
these ones stand but 180 as bench mark for others.
“This year we have more than enough candidates, we have over 1.5 million
candidates so we will get enough candidates to take in all the schools
if they are serious. Re-distribution is already ongoing, because it is
embedded in the registration procedure.”
