The Joint Admission and Matriculations Board (JAMB), has
released the cut-off marks for the 2014 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination, UTME.
The board retained the existing 180 cut-off mark for
admission into universities in Nigeria.
It also pegged the cut-off marks for admission into
Polytechnics and Colleges of Education (COE) at 150.
JAMB Registrar and Chief Executive, Professor ‘Dibu
Ojerinde, who made this disclosure while speaking with newsmen, said the
decisions were unanimously accepted by all stakeholders at the meeting.
Chairman of the Board, Mr Eze, however, urged the
institutions to strictly adhere to 60:40 Science to Arts ratio for conventional
institutions and the 70:30 Technology to non-Technology ratio for specialised
institutions, which were aimed at entrenching the technical advancement of the
country.
Eze equally urged both federal and state-owned institutions
to abide by the guidelines approved by their proprietors to promote unity,
integration, geographical spread and equity.
“Accordingly, the 45:35:20 admissions quota for the merit,
catchment area and educationally-less-developed states criteria should be
complied with by federal institutions,” he said.
