Federal Government put a stop to University's Post UTME

Taking a Jamb is a step one to getting admission into any university in Nigeria. That you scored 200 and above will not guarantee you gaining admission into the tertiary institution.

The calculated stress taken by the Nigerians
seeking Admission into the Nigerian Universities have therefore been looked into by the federal government and resolved to abolish the idea of Post-UTME being conducted by the Nigerian Universities.

The Minister said and I quote: “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.
