The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, on Tuesday in Abuja announced that it has pegged the minimum entry requirement into Nigerian universities for the
2015/16 academic year at
180 marks.
The
body, however, said polytechnics and colleges of education, including
innovative enterprise institutions awarding National Diploma are to
admit undergraduate students with a minimum of 150 marks.
The
decisions were taken during the 6th combined policy meeting of
stakeholders of institutions awarding degrees and certificates.
There
were many reactions to the new development on Twitter, and
unsurprisingly, every single one showed JAMB's new move was not
encouraging.
All the comments resonated one thing; our educational system is in for a further decline.
Here are some of the reactions:
But the Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of JAMB, Prof. ‘Dibu Ojerinde
is having none of that. He has cautioned tertiary institutions against
flouting the admission process, saying that with effect from the current
academic session, the board would sanction defaulters who defy the
regulation for admissions.
