The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has set June 24, 2023 to decide the cut-off mark for 2023 admissions into universities, polytechnics and other tertiary institutions.
TheNewsGuru.com, (TNG) reports this was contained in the latest edition of JAMB weekly bulletin made available by the board on Monday.
The Director of Public Affairs, JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin explained that the event which will hold at the National Judicial Institute will have in attendance all heads of tertiary institutions and regulatory bodies such as the National Universities Commission, National Board for Technical Education, the National Commission for Colleges of Education, among others.
He said, “Only two representatives each from respective tertiary institutions, comprising the Head of the Institution and one official of the institution, who shall be nominated by the Head, will be welcomed.
“Other critical issues slated for discussion at the Policy Meeting aside from issues emanating from the presentation of the Registrar, JAMB, on the just-concluded UTME are other issues of national importance, particularly as they concern the education sector.
“The meeting is also expected to chart policy directions for the nation’s tertiary institutions, set admission guidelines, present and analyse application statistics, and candidates’ performance, as well as evaluate the 2023 admission exercise.
“Furthermore, the policy meeting, among other things, would decide the acceptable minimum admissible score to be applied in all admissions to be undertaken by all tertiary institutions in Nigeria.”
