The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede has claimed that academic institutions had been admitting candidates with marks below 120 in the past through the back doors, and that the new approach is only aimed at ensuring transparency, and to curb capital flight abroad by Nigerian students.
Prof. Oloyede condemned the criticisms that have continued to trail the announcement of the cut-off marks for admissions into universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and monotechnics for the 2017/2018 academic session.
He described those accusing the examination body of lowering the nation’s academic standard of being ignorant of facts, saying Nigerians are always too quick to pass judgements without studying issues.
Oloyede stated this on Wednesday afternoon at a stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja.
He said realities have shown that within the last 10 years no higher institution in the country has admitted more than 70 per cent of their admission quota.
