EDUCATION: Federal Govt of Nigeria Scraps Post UTME, Jamb Cut Off Mark now 180

The conduct of post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) for candidates seeking admission into higher institution has been canceled by the Federal Government.

However, The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu said institutions were at liberty to conduct screening for candidates seeking admission into any school, 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.
Moreso, 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.

they are Playing pranks..."The conduct of post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) for candidates seeking admission into higher institution has been canceled by the Federal Government. However, The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu said institutions were at liberty to conduct screening for candidates seeking admission into any school"....this is contradictory...if they want to really cancel they should do that and If not...Let them shut Up

@jesu: your earlier point is still valid too, the art of money making may push all the higher institutions to conduct internal admission exam
